Congressman-elect Manny Pacquiao's boxing promoter, Bob Arum, doesn't need any inspiration. But it appears he will have it as he makes his way from General Santos City to Las Vegas and takes out a yellow pad and makes a Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight work over his approximate 14-hour flight.
Neither Arum, nor any foreigners, legally could do much more than support Pacquiao emotionally as it's against the law there during election periods. He couldn't speak publicly nor do interviews on the politics there.
How to make Mayweather vs. Pacquiao:
I say let them fight however each wants regarding blood-doping and let the one who did the anti-doping testing have an asterisk after his name win or lose.
Maybe it's not the very best idea out there, but the fight gets made already.
Once you pass 33 and one - half years old you are out of your physical boxing prime. I'm also giving Mayweather an additional 6 months because he did retire for 22 months, but when he came back against Juan Manuel Marquez he was as sharp as a razor with no rust.
There are so many factors that we have to go over again to make this fight. Cowboys Stadium could be available in mid November while the Cowboys are on the road for two weeks and it's going to take that long to get the stadium ready.
Otherwise it will have to be made for after late January at the earliest - after the Cowboys' season. Granted, nobody wants to travel to Texas in late January because its weather is unpredictable.
Coming back from long fights with new champions and losers Arum can handle, but the thought of a popular welterweight politician is new for Arum.
