Floyd's Cowardice vs The will of Ross Greenburg
It’s Floyd’s Cowardice vs. The
Will Of Ross Greenburg

When a bully-
coward is scared to
death of being
knocked out, all the money in the
world might not be enough to
lure him to face his demise.
The fear of a coward is an
immeasureable force, as the
coward will do anything to
survive his destruction.
We know Floyd Mayweather
doesn’t want to enter a ring with
Manny Pacquiao because he is
deathly afraid of being knocked
out. Though he stands to profit
anywhere from $30,000,000 to
perhaps $50 million to get
knocked out by Pacquiao, Floyd
would prefer to avoid the fight.
HBO Sports – and specifically it’s
boxing programming is
slumping. Some say HBO is in
deep trouble and it’s future as
the leading force of American
boxing is not a guarantee.
Making Pacquiao vs. Mayweather
– even though many of us
already know what the outcome
will be – is sure to be the most
profitable prizefight in boxing
history – and it’s absolutely
imperative for HBO Sports and
it’s President Ross Greenburg to
make it a reality for 2011. In
order to keep the sport relevant
and strong in the United States,
as well as to generate the
revenues that Time Warner, the
parent of HBO, wants and
expects, after investing so much
time and money into building
the careers of Mayweather and
Pacquiao.
Tom Hauser recently asked
Greenburg a very interesting
question about if HBO would
continue to support and invest
in Floyd if he aspired to fight
anyone else besides Pacquiao:
“What would HBO do if Floyd
came back and wanted to fight
someone other than Manny?”
Greenburg replied with a very
diplomatic though somewhat
revealing answer. “That would
pose a problem for us. The fact
that we (HBO) couldn’t make
Mayweather-Pacquiao cast a pall
over the sport this year. Now we
have to come to terms with the
fact that the fight might not
happen and move on. If Floyd
came back and wanted to fight
someone else, I’m not sure how
we’d handle it.”
You know that day is going to
come when Floyd and Al Haymon
are going to ask HBO for a
freebie, easy, handpicked fight
which is NOT going to involve
Pacquiao. Greenburg had better
be sure how to handle that
situation before it arrives.
He has to stand firm with Al
Haymon and Floyd. He might
even have to say F*** You to
Haymon and Floyd. In fact,
Greenburg maybe should have
said it now, in Tom Hauser’s
widely-read Secondsout.com
article.
The future of boxing in America
actually may hang in the balance.
It will come down to a simple
battle of wills – between Floyd’s
Mayweather’s cowardice vs.
Ross Greenburg’s determination.
I have concluded that Al Haymon,
the advisor of Mayweather,
doesn’t care an iota about
anything to do with the pure,
true, competitive nature of
boxing, he only cares about the
corporate business aspect, and
that he can continue to play out
his political ego trip of being in
control of the supposed biggest
star in boxing, who in reality is a
fraud.
With Floyd Mayweather knocked
out, Haymon’s stature in the
sport will also be knocked out.
After Floyd is eliminated by
Pacquiao, Haymon will have
nothing but a stable of mediocre
non-stars. This is why I believe
Haymon is an enemy of boxing
and HBO, and desperate to save
his only significant asset –
Mayweather – from Pacquiao. Of
course, he also wants to save his
own ego from being knocked
out. Based on following his
recent actions, I believe Haymon
will do anything in his power to
prevent the Pacquiao vs.
Mayweather fight from
happening. Ross Greenburg must
be aware of this and deal with it
accordingly. HBO must blackball
Floyd until he fights Pacquiao.
The Don King escape option
failed for Floyd and there is
nowhere else to run to.
I recently asked a VIP with
Golden Boy if there have been
any indications from
Mayweather that he is interested
to fight Pacquiao in 2011. The
answer was he had no idea, that
only Richard Schaefer and Al
Haymon would know.
It’s all going to come down to if
Ross Greenburg compromises
and caves in to Haymon and
Mayweather. Greenburg must
stand firm and refuse to support
and reward a coward/bully who
wants more multi-million
paydays for meaningless
garbage set up “fights.”
If HBO Sports surrenders to the
wishes of Mayweather, Haymon,
the sport of boxing will have
sunk to, I believe, an all-time
lowpoint. Boxing will no longer
be trusted to make the best fight
the best. And with people like Al
Haymon and Floyd Mayweather
polluting the sport with their
fraud, boxing could become as
real and authentic as
professional wrestling.
That’s why all boxing fans
worldwide should be hoping and
rooting for Al Haymon and Floyd
Mayweather to be defeated in
their power struggle against
Ross Greenburg.
