Mayweather Tweets Out Pacquiao For May 5 Fight
>> Wednesday, January 11, 2012
A challenge to fight in this digital age can not be more straight-to-the-point than that of Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s recent tweet. Mayweather calls out Manny Pacquiao to fight him on May 5th.
Personally, I am growing tired of the camps of these two great boxers pointing at one another why the fight hasn't happened. And as a Filipino, I am inclined to believe that Mayweather is more to blame for dodging Pacquiao.
But I suppose this tweet signifies that Mayweather is finally serious in showing to the world that he is better than Pacquiao inside the ring. We all know that Manny is way ahead of him outside it.
Old movies portray challenges verbally made by protagonists and villain with an agreed date regardless whether its mano-mano, drawing guns or swordfight.
Perhaps Manny Pacquiao and his camp can announce their response via Facebook status?

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao won't happen on May 5 because of a effin' venue? Wow!

I think Pacquiao handlers are too greedy to rake in all the cash in just ONE megafight. And Manny being loyal to the bones will surely heed their advice.
If Pacquiao can fight Juan Manuel Marquez 3 times, I'm sure a Mayweather-Pacquiao trilogy can also be done. That's a milking cow right there.
I used to think that Mayweather is the one afraid of Pacquiao. Now, I have my doubts.
After twitter, Floyd Mayweather Jr. talks to Manny Pacquiao on phone.
Floyd is really pushing for Mayweather-vs-Pacquiao to happen on May 5.
The dude really wants to get a lot of money before serving his prison sentence.
I hope the act will finally seal the deal.
Bob Arum, make the fight happen!
