Someday
"I don't think it's going to happen. I'm sure he doesn't want to fight."
Them's fightin' words! Fighting words from the pound-for-pound champion Manny Pacquiao. Now will Mayweather strike back with fighting words or bail like he always does by saying he only fights where there's money. There comes a point when he'll be forced to fight the best and not wait for them to get old.
Mayweather showed a lot in his last fight when he overpowered Marquez, but that's not the fight everyone wants to see.
Everyone wants to see him fight Pacquiao or Sugar Shane Mosley.
The saddest thing about Pacquiao's quote is that it's probably true.
Pacquiao is fighting top-of-the-line boxers and everyone has been drooling at the thought of seeing him face-off against Mayweather. Pacquiao knows his responsibility as an entertainer. Mayweather is much bigger and it's very likely he'll overpower Pacquiao as well and Pacquiao knows that, but he also knows what the people want to see. As an entertainer he wants to provide an amazing fight, not just dodge punches for 12 rounds, take his money and go home.
Mosley called out Mayweather in his own match. Heent right up to his face and made him look like a punk. Now Pacquiao's calling him out. It's Mayweather's move. He has to fight one of them.
Mayweather is going to have to step up eventually and really earn a pound-for-pound title. It's your move "Money."
