(ThyBlackMan.com) Undefeated American Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Remained silent after eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao challenged him to a fight for charity. Manny Pacquiao told the inquirer, “I’m not desperate to fight him just for the sake of money or material things. I’m not the one seeking this fight; rather it’s the boxing fans all over the world.”
He added, “Above all, I challenge him to include in our fight contract that both of us will not receive anything out of this fight. We will donate all the proceeds from the fight – guaranteed prize, should there be any, gate receipts, pay-per-view and endorsements – to charities around the world.” I doubt Floyd Mayweather, Jr. would welcome this idea by Filipino icon.2013-manny-pacquiao-floyd-mayweather
Judging from his nickname alone “Money May, ” I think he needs more money than Manny Pacquiao, because Pacman has a lot of investments in the Philippines. In fact, the Filipino superstar gives his extra money to the poor.
That’s make him credible to dare Mayweather to a fight for charity. Indeed, Pacquiao shows all his best and effort to make the fight happen, but it seems Floyd is not interested to take the bout.
This only means that boxing has been everything of Floyd Mayweather, Jr.’s life since the start of his career. If you would notice he cares so much about his zero loss, and if you take away that from him, it is like you have taken his life. I know Floyd Mayweather, Jr. pride is high, and he can’t afford to lose a game.
If he loses, it would be a big embarrassment for him. Also, why would everyone still want to see him fight? The truth is, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has everything to lose than Manny Pacquiao. Perhaps he is scared to be defeated by someone who is capable to match his speed and power.
Manny Pacquiao, on the other hand, has nothing to prove in the sport of boxing. He fought everybody who challenged him including Marquez who was desperate and very vocal to fight him at that time. He fought Marquez for a fourth time because that’s what a pound-for-pound boxer should – take up the challenge. He never complained of anything, or wore a shirt that demeaned his opponents.
Both Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Marquez could rant Manny Pacquiao that they are “The Face of Boxing” and greater fighters than Mohammad Ali. Yes, they could do that. But most people know in boxing that they are avoiding someone who could derail their professional careers. And that’s Manny Pacquiao, who can bring them down to the ground, where they really belong.
