Floyd Joy Mayweather Jr. is not appreciated fully.
I woke on Sunday morning and I, for one smelled the coffee. Now I know what is brewing in terms of a Manny Pacquiao-Mayweather fight.
I stumbled across the below posted egomaniacal rant from a New York City press conference three years in which Mayweather pulled the world's coat.
Now I am fully educated. Now I know what time it is. Now I know what the respective roles are if and when they fight (if it's Sunday, I am sure they will but check me manana).
You see, kids, you must learn, acknowledge and bow in the direction of the Big Boy Mansion in Las Vegas when you realize that:
Only Mayweather is the “mega superstar” of boxing.
Only Mayweather is the “cash cow” of boxing.
Only Mayweather is the straw that stirs the drink in boxing.
Only Mayweather is in dog shape even when not in training.
Only Mayweather can be “the A side” in any fight, an opponent is automatically the “B side” by ran, by being less than a “mega superstar.”
Only Mayweather is the greatest fighter who ever walked the earth. In fact, rumors abound that the Boxing Hall Of Fame may waive the usual five year waiting period for induction based on his being a “mega supertar.”
Only Mayweather is the alpha.
Only Mayweather is the omega.
And only Mayweather agreed to let Pacquiao—this lesser talent, this non “mega superstar”--get a 50-50 split of all revenue had their prior deal gone through.
Thus, we can now deduce that only Mayweather would give a lesser light, an underling, a boxing beggar if you will...take home half the money. Instead of demanding that this pugilistic peon they call Pacman, take whatever few crumbs might be thrown his way...
Why?
Maybe it's because only Mayweather is so generous but we can't be certain.
Only Mayweather knows and Mayweather is not telling.
The truly charitable ones, the genuine mega superstars, do not have to blow their own horn, not when it comes to blessed charity, not when it comes to largesse.
Call the mega superstar Mayweather the cheerful giver.
