Mayweather-Pacquiao Hype: Please, God, Make It Stop
By Cliff Rold - O.M.G. Floyd Mayweather tweeted and called Manny Pacquiao a punk. For real? For real. This is boxing in 2012. Last week’s announcement that lineal World Welterweight Champion Floyd Mayweather would have his domestic violence sentence postponed until June sent shockwaves through the game. Mayweather’s previously announced May date could be fulfilled. Neither he nor WBO Welterweight beltholder, and leading rival, Manny Pacquiao, have a fight officially in the queue. After years of waiting, fight fans could see a light at the end of the tunnel. Could this be it? Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum seems to want anything but, claiming his latest version of ‘later this year.’ Manny Pacquiao has released statements to the affect that he wants Mayweather next but has fallen short of saying he’s not fighting unless it’s Floyd. And, be sure, Pacquiao could put his foot down on this if he wanted to. In 1991, following his rematch victory over Razor Ruddock, Mike Tyson challenging Evander Holyfield to regain the Heavyweight crown was the most obvious fight on the planet. Promoter Don King started making noise about doing another Tyson spectacle first. Press reports of the time had Tyson demanding Holyfield and nothing but. The fight was signed for November 1991. A rape charge and October rib injury sent the match into the year 1996, prolonging Holyfield’s arrival at the moment of ultimate public crowning achievement for five years. It was unfortunate, but injuries happen.
