Since being arrested on a grand larceny charge last week, and several days later being charged with four felonies and four misdemeanors, Floyd Mayweather has understandably been keeping a low profile.
Apparently though, despite the fact that he is doing his level best to stay out of the limelight for the time being, Mayweather is still eager to get back into the ring and take on Manny Pacquiao at some point.
In a series of tweets earlier today, rap mogul turned Mayweather press secretary Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson said:
Floyd just called and woke my ass up I'm still half sleep. That's my boy anybody want to do something to him get me first.Floyd told me i ain't gonna beat him I'm a knock that mother fu***r out. For what they been saying about me. Hahaha he gonna kill pac man
Pacquiao gonna get his ass beat and his retarded ass trainer freddie roach know that. you like to gamble,like to lose bet agents floyd.
One pressing question that Mr. Cent doesn't address is why Floyd is waking him up to talk about Manny Pacquiao when he surely has bigger concerns right now. Such as his upcoming court case in November, beating 8 counts in said court case, and staying out of prison.
It is also worth noting that Mayweather's apparent anger over what is being said about him doesn't include Pacquiao himself, who remained composed and polite as always even in light of Floyd's racially offensive home video.
Further, much of what has been written about Mayweather lately is all of his own making. Airing a tirade of abuse with racial overtones and then being arrested for allegedly attacking the mother of three of his children isn't something many are going to be able to put a positive spin on.
Even his most ardent supporters in fact have struggled to rationalize his latest behaviour, much of which can usually be put down to him playing up his villain role, but lately seems to have become more and more erratic.
That isn't to mention that Mayweather has a usually very active twitter account of his own, and if needs be surrounded by a team of high priced lawyers, should be able to type out the requisite few lines to the same effect as what he said to 50 Cent without incriminating himself or offending anyone in the process.
Of course, about half of what Mayweather says never tends to come to anything anyway. His recent mentioning of fighting in Dubai for example seems to have petered out, as did his talk of wanting to build his legacy after announcing that he would be taking a second long layoff during his prime years. So whether this means he will actually be taking any steps towards making the fight happen in the near future is far from certain.
Of the local fight fans I've spoken to recently, most now seem to be of the opinion that Mayweather is more concerned with either making as much money as he can, or preserving his unbeaten record than taking on the likes of Pacquiao. But it wasn't always this way, in the past Mayweather was much better thought of than he is after his recent actions. But perhaps if he now feels people are beginning to doubt him he will be spurred into getting back into the ring and making the fight against Pacquiao happen.
