Floyd Mayweather vs Sugar Shane Mosley [May 1st]
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
I don't think there is pressure to go toe-to-toe. Maybe I could see him doing that if it were Pacquiao, but not against shane. I mean, he didn't even put on any pressure against a clearly beaten, battered and undersized Marquez.
Mayweather cares about winning more than anything else and he doesn't care if he stinks up the joint as a result (see Carlos Baldimor as an example, or even Oscar de la hoya to a lesser extent).
Bernard Hopkins has the same mentality. Win by any means necessary, don't worry about pleasing the crowd.

Philippine media BANNED from interviewing Floyd Mayweather Jr. at LA Press Con
According to our highly respected and longtime sportscaster friend Chino Trinidad, who is currently in LA covering Manny Pacquiao's training camp for the GMA network in the Philippines, Philippine media was banned from interviewing Floyd Mayweather Jr. during his press conference at the Nokia Theater in LA to promote his May 1 fight against Shane Mosley.
Maybe Floyd thinks the Filipino media is on A-Side meth or steroids too that's why he's ducking them like he is ducking Pacquiao.
According to Chino, he waited in line together with another Filipino media personnel to be taken up the stage from the back by the publicists. He wondered why it was only he and fellow Pinoy Jason Pimentel remaining when Floyd and Shane were almost done.
Finally when Chino got up the stage, he looked for Floyd immediately but was told by a lady named Kelly Swanson that he can't interview Floyd because he refuses to talk about Pacquiao close to the fight. Chino was baffled at the incident and that some people were crying out racism. He also told me that this was the first time in his many years of covering sports, from the NBA to the Olympics to all the many big events he has participated in, that he has ever been denied to interview somebody and is still in shock regarding the incident.
First of all, my take on that is that it's a load of BS. Floyd has been saying so much crap abut Manny Pacquiao on a regular basis. How can they turn away a group of media men based on their ethnicity? I guess there's a reason people call him KFC. He ducks even media now too. I wonder if he gets nightmares of Pacquiao and Filipinos as he tries to shoot em ala Scarface with his machine gun only to watch the bullets (in Roger's words) "bounce off their azzes".
I truly wonder why Floyd doesn't want to field questions from the Philippine media.
Is it because he is afraid to answer their questions? Maybe he is avoiding the truth? Or perhaps he simply can dish it out but he can't take it himself (I'm talking about questioning other people).
Regardless though, to me, this is a SLAP IN THE FACE to all Filipinos. Not only has this guy repeatedly disrespected Filipinos by his ridiculous insinuations on top of his statements encouraging America to alienate themselves from the alien from the Philippines simply because he is not an American citizen.
It takes me back to my experience trying to interview Floyd Mayweather Sr. wherein the guy said some rude things to me on the phone then hung up. If you want to know what exactly he told me, it sounded something like, "Oh it's the jokester! I don't do interviews with haroogah-buga- hawbruga- wabrooboo!" then he hung up. No he wasn't speaking an alien or foreign language, but you know how that guy talks like he's on some drugs or something. I simply could not understand 70% of whatever he is trying to say. Then again, it's probably for the best as he hardly makes sense when he does anyway.
Why won't you want to talk to the Filipino media Floyd? Are you saying Filipino Pay-Per-View buys don't matter to you? What's the matter Money Mayweather?

LOL at people crying out "racism".... it may have been a case of discrimination. So who cares..... But anyway, Floyd is tired of talking about Pacqiuao and just wants to turn his attention and focus to Shane and only Shane.

Just a quick piece taken from the article:
Mayweather has sold about 4.5 million buys for his last three fights against De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton and Marquez, making him the sport's top pay-per-view draw.

LMAO... why is they barkin'.... You Knooooooow!
LOL at Manny's pimp, it's true. They know if he loses to Mayweather (which he probably would) the Manny hype would die. So instead, they looked for another fight why they still talk about how Manny would beat Mayweather (Wolf tickets). Why is they barkin'?
The Mayweather's have a point... who in their right minds would pass up million(s) of dollars for a fight when all you had to do was get your blood tested 14 days prior?

Seriously speaking man.... I know sometimes fighters report overweight but fining someone 10 million for every pound? 10 million? If Mayweather agreed to pay 10 million for every pound he was overweight, Manny should have agreed to get his blood tested 14 days prior.
I think Arum was bluffing with that 10 million per pound crap and Mayweather called his bluff and surprised him by agreeing. The fight won't go down I guess.... so we're onto Floyd vs Shane.
