Dan Rafael: "Pacquiao's media attention is driving Floyd CRAZY!!!"

Mayweather jabs (but won't fight) Pacquiao
Feb 15, 2011



Here are some excerpts:

Mayweather could have had the fight each time and made perhaps as much as $50 million for his trouble.

Instead, Mayweather declined and now, just as the media attention around Pacquiao ramps up again, it is clearly driving Mayweather crazy.

...

Just as Pacquiao was coming to Las Vegas -- where Mayweather lives -- for Saturday's stop, Mayweather took to his Twitter account, for which he has nearly 1 million followers. In the span of 6 minutes he tweeted YouTube links to Pacquiao's three career defeats.

Mayweather's undefeated record is precious to him -- many believe he has avoided Pacquiao because he wants to protect it at all costs -- and he probably can't stand that Pacquiao, with three defeats, reigns supreme over boxing in a way Mayweather can't come close to matching.

Pacquiao is a great fighter. He is beloved. He is humble. And he has the nation of the Philippines behind him.

Mayweather also is a great fighter. But he is not beloved. He is not humble. And he does not have a nation behind him.

Mayweather's tweets about Pacquiao show that he doesn't grasp reality. Those old losses from years ago are all Mayweather has to hold on to when it comes to claiming an edge over Pacquiao. What Mayweather doesn't get is that nobody but him cares that Pacquiao lost three fights years ago. They mean nothing when assessing Pacquiao's greatness because he has successfully taken the risks Mayweather can't bring himself to take.

Does anyone care that Sugar Ray Robinson, universally regarded as the greatest fighter ever, lost a bunch of fights? Does anyone care that Muhammad Ali lost a few fights?

...

Mayweather's tweeting of the links smacks of a desperate grab for attention. Why else do you think Mayweather did it the midst of the Pacquiao-Mosley media tour?

That is exactly Mayweather's style.

Remember last September when Pacquiao and Margarito were in the midst of the tour promoting their Nov. 13 fight? Right in the middle of it is when Mayweather recorded a profanity-filled, racist and ****phobic rant against Pacquiao in a 10-minute video he posted on the Internet.

The timing was no accident. It was simply another case of a desperate Mayweather acting out to try to muscle in on Pacquiao's spotlight.

After the video came out, Pacquiao took the high road without returning fire on Mayweather.

And even though Mayweather poked fun at him with the video links to his defeats a few days ago, the humble Pacquiao continued to take the high road.

...

If Mayweather is happy winning 20 grand here and 40 grand there while also making himself look like a fool by bringing up Pacquiao's ancient losses instead of making maybe $50 million to fight him, so be it.

But you know what? Pacquiao, obviously, is always on his mind.

absolutely!.

floyds timings of attention seeking and nonsense talking is no coincidence.

Floyd needs to hate himself,and sort himself out,no excsuses,just man up and fight already.

[brick wall]

dan rafael will get death threats from *****s with that article.

[STRUGG]

floyd is really self destructing nowadays...................and the sad thing is fl;omos are watching and cheering him on......................................how pathetic

[Sweet Jesus]

I think Floyd's used to it as Pac has had this kind of attention during promotion leading up to his fights for his last 5 fights now.

[ShoopDaWhoop]

Shoop Da Whoop believes Dan Rafeal is one of the greatest editorial minds of this generation.

[Russian Crushin]

Its obvious he cant stand another fighter being in the spotlight

Firing insults at a guy who simply laughs you off and says he'll pray for you is rather embarassing

Thanks for posting this, and thanks for referring to Fat Dan as Fat Dan. It should be a rule on NSB to always recognize his fatness.

[SuperTrooper]

Even Stevie Wonder sees Floyd's jealousy of Pac's popularity.
