YOU ALL BITCH ABOUT FLOYD AFTER
San Francisco, CA– Having been around since the days of the Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) championship coronation, I’m going to tell you that this is likely to offend Floyd Mayweather and his groupies.
FLOYD HAS “PIMPED” YOU FANS OFF!
That being said, why is Floyd worth throwing down $70 bucks to watch? Time and again he keeps conning you by promising Marvin Hagler-Tommy Hearns-like excitement in soundbites pre-fight. The lead up is great, it’s after that first bell rings that any pugilistic erection you had goes limp.
LARRY MERCHANT SKIPPED THE CARD
After a couple of rounds, the writing was on the wall and referee Kenny Bayless wasn’t going to let Marcos Maidana fight inside. Tony Weeks reffed the first encounter and allowed them to fight in close.
REFEREE SPLIT THEM TOO FAST
All props to Bayless, but his being so quick to break was predicted prior by both manager Bob Spagnola and TV legend Larry Merchant.
FLOYD LIKE GIRL WHO TEASES SEX
Floyd reminds me of girl that date after date keeps telling you, “Next time.” That best describes Mayweather fights who are exciting until the bell rings. From that point forward your anticipation wains and by the fifth round you’re saying, “S*it, another boring ass Mayweather fight.”
HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU SAY “NO MORE” FLOYD?
Afterwards, a vast majority of fight fans who have bought these Mayweather fights say that they will never buy another one, and yet they purchase the next Floyd fight, because of the tease and the hype only to be let down hard.
ARE YOU TIRED OF THE BULL SHIT?
We play a clip of Mayweather on “Ring Talk” (celebrating 30 years next Saturday) where Floyd says, “The fans want excitement and I deliver.” That being said, when is the last time Floyd was exciting? The Diego Corrales fight?
HOLLYWOOD TYPES KNOW NOTHING ‘BOUT BOXING
When I see people like Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx ringside for his fights, I scratch my head because Foxx has some boxing acumen unlike most of the Hollywood types that attend professional boxing matches just to get seen.
HAVE YOU EATEN ENOUGH CRAP?
Expecting some “weak” Pay Per View numbers to come out this week from Showtime PPV, this will not keep Floyd from conning you again. “All boxers, they all have some conman in them,” said Larry Merchant on “Ring Talk” Sunday.
FLOYD LOSES TO KEITH THURMAN & KELL BROOK?
Although I think unbeaten Keith Thurman is still a “tad” too green for Mayweather, if IBF champ Kell Brook (32-0, 22 KOs) can stay alive, Brook is the guy that will drive Mayweather into retirement.
