THE SOURCES TAKE ON FLOYD MAYWEATHER..

THE SOURCE'S TAKE ON FLOYD MAYWEATHER...
  The Money Team ! TMT , What a business man? I mean, he's a great marketer. What do I mean? Well he has great boxing and defensive skills, but he took his skills to a new level. By honing on taking less shots over a entire career and getting paid more than any other boxer in boxing history,, Yes.More than Muhammad Ali ,or Sugar Ray Leonard and Mike Tyson..he developed, created the Money Man, the cash flow , the show off. the American dream? I know he flaunts his success, his money and cars and such like a spoiled brat,, and we the fans hate that? 
 Are you serious? I mean,, as much as we may like his arrogance or bad attitude, we would trade places with him in a second,, well as far as the wealth is concerned,, getting punched in face for the past 20 plus years .. is painful.. I know I used to box as a youth and in my  days,, it hurts,, to get punched In  the face or nose,, I have a big one and it hurts when it gets whacked many times in a fight.
 Now back to mayweather. He has picked and choose his opponents,, Well,, guess what that's what all boxers do. There is no NFL type round robin system where you eventually play every team in the league within a time frame and keep that cycle going. In boxing,, you study opponents, you see if your style meshes with his and you fight.. Thus Mayweather has been prefect in his selections,, he doesnt fight anyone unless he believes he can win..
  Now the timing of fighting Pacman.. He believes he can win, Vegas believes , big time gamblers and loyal fans,, and why not? He has never lost,, that's a big advantage for him ,because he has no doubts about his ability to win, he finds ways to win, Even in fights where he was challenged namely Castillo and Judah.. he may have been hurt and stung early,, but once he figures you out,, he;\'s untouchable.. Yes, I know he's irritating and so disrespectful to his opponents, his wearing of Filipino colors , flags when he works out.. if anything makes me laugh, but that's me.. He wants to rattle his opponent he wants to anger you,play mind games, , but based on pacmans attitude,, its business as usual.. He continues to work out hard, garner more fans with his good guy personality and non trash talker,, While Money man,, continues to be what he is,, a self promoting, ego maniac that believes he is the sport and for the past 20 years he has.. No matter how you feel about him.. He is the richest prize fighter and this fight Will be the biggest grossing fight in history,, even though it might be 5-6 years too late,, or that their styles may not create a great fight ,, Like a Ali vs.Frazier, or Leonard Vs Hearns, Or Tyson vs. Spmks? I mean,, all indications show this will be a hell of fight , but we have seen blowouts,, nothing surprises me anymore, nothing in life or sports,, I'm always ready for a upset or predictable ending,,, 
  My take on Mayweather. He knew from that get go of his career, that punching it out may be exciting for the fans, but exposes him to punches and damage..something he secretly doesn't like. When it comes to toe to toe exchanges..he rather stick and move, or punch and  grab,,, a ali technique.. he's  a very smart and wise fighter. He will pick and choose when he Will engage and there Will be a time when he will have to exchange punches based on age,, the legs can't  dance or move for 12 rounds.. He doesn't roll from punches like he  used to and he doesn't throw as many punches as he used to do, if he really threw many in the first place.??. Mayweather is a street wise guy,, he knows when to bluff, call your bluff and talk his way out of situations,, whatever its punching out a security guard or ray ricing his girl,,, He knows what to do?!  Do I admire him? Why not, he has the perfect record, he has all the cars I would love to have,he dresses cool and has confidence.. Yea, he turns people off. but he's a American dude , with that American thought process is that Americans rule..whether its sports figures, movies , music, muscle cars,, those things spell American Pride.. I know he just rubs me the wrong way,,?!  But in boxing,, probably more than any other sport,,Once you get in the ring,, It exposes you if  your real?1 If your a true fighter that has really put in his time to develop and create a style that is unbeatable , and not just having a greatly selected boxing schedule or having techniques used and abused against fighters with heart , but lack the mind set or physical ability to deal with him.. mayweather love him or hate him,, he is a American Success story.. He always come into fights in shape, he has the greatest cars you can imagine, and knows how to dress .. to show off success. Now if I were a successful boxer .. like him...,would I act like that? I say why not..? I mean,, Does it matter the fans like me, ?/ does it matter the boxing peers like me., does it matter ? In his world,, the only thing that matters is money, and who ever I hurt or disrespect hate me,, so be it.. Who cares? Its Mind over matter. I don't mind because you don't matter. Hey my take is if he's truly happy with the way he acts, than so be it, to each is own., But back to my premise,, Karma is a bitch than you die..!!  Remember that trash talking louder than life , larger than life Muhammad Ali. My idol.. He used to demean and disrespect grown men calling them apes, gorilla's, rabbits , bears.. washer woman.. the bleeder etc.. It was funny if you were his fan, but very annoying and disrespectful to the man and their families,,These were grown men for goodness sake..  Well karma ,, came back to haunt Ali. now Ali , is a shell of what he used to be,,sad to say... I know the disease  and such is what attributed to his condition,, But I also think,, karma. may not get you now,, its later in life,, that may curse you or finally condemn you for your deeds.. Now for mayweather.. He's problems with relationships,with the law, with his money spending,, will probably catch up with him.. It usually does , Many fighters , make alot, but they forget to save and invest.. For mayweather , he's enjoying his success and very much deserved, he took the time and effort to become a great fighter and market himself that people paid and bet on him to lose,, What a genius.. ? I mean,, people do that.,, People hate successful arrogant , people ,, they love underdogs,, until they become too cocky , become to great.. In mayweather, he has built a image of invincibility and money , wealth , fame and I don't give a shit what you people think.. ?! If you don't like what I say than don't listen, if you don't like what I do,, than find a fighter to kick my ass.. !! Come May 2nd 2015 .. The world will find out if all these years of building and creating this image, is really truly a image that is unbeatable.. Because my take, if I really truly believed I was the best , I would fight the best fighters at their prime..not years later , and knockout later to finally say" Ok Lets fight!" .. Boxing doesn't always give us the best fights , but this one could be interesting because .. We have a confident , trash talking money making machine , vs, the true challenger , the true underdog all his life.. No one believes in this little guy from a 3rd world country that speaks broken English with a smile,, So humble, so giving and so likable,, But boxing is a not a movie or a story book ending.. Boxing ,, showcases the truth.. the fighter that really wants to win and willing to take chances and have more heart than the other guy will determiner the winner of this fight.. We all expect that . but don't be surprised we see a slow paced fight ala leonard vs hearns 2 , leonard vs hagler.. great marquee names , that fought past their prime,, but like true boxing fans,, we are suckers , and we are hopeful , wishful that the hype will match the fight.. But I'm guessing or predicting something in between, where we will see talented fighter with pride ,have some spirited rounds and some drama , but may well end up as close and controversial decision that will leads us talking about the injustices and unfairness of boxing. But the talk of rematch , and starting this crazy circus again,, because it can and probably will happen, but then again,,?? Maybe not,, Like life, boxing has drama, has ups and downs, and often times just confuse everyone why things happen? Its just life. When you some lives and dies are not predictable most of the time. expect the unexpected and expect to be shocked.. !?! Because boxing and life always seem to punch you in face and wake you up to unimaginable endings.. But that's why we love this sport,, Anything can happen and that's why we watch any sports.. We want to see the car crashes, the fumbles, the knockouts , that moment in time that creates memories that define our timeline and lives.. Until my next sports blog have a great day !
