Fair Play: Pretty Boy had it coming
WHEN you open your mouth too much, when you spew out venom a lot, the tendency is, some of it’s going to bounce back right at you.
Now that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is getting some, he’s crying foul.
He prefers to be the one, well, you know, dishing them out.
After his unanimous decision victory over Juan Manuel Marquez last Sunday, Sugar Shane Mosley got a piece of the action during the post-fight interview, asking the boxer used to be known as Pretty Boy to face him.
“It’s the fight fans want to see,” Sugar Shane, who also tried unsuccessfully to get a date with Pacquiao, said.
“Don’t disrespect me,” an indignant Mayweather Jr. said.
The guy who is now known as Money said that he doesn’t go and steal the thunder when guys like Sugar Shane are in the ring.
“It’s my moment to shine,” he said.
Coming from somebody else, I’ll say, give the fighter his due.
Let him enjoy his comeback, let him have his moment.
But it’s Money, and boy does he love to steal the thunder from my favorite boxer.
He chose the name Money when everybody was talking about Manny last year.
And last May 2, didn’t he disrespect a couple of boxing stars? Didn’t he take “stealing a boxer’s moment to shine,” to a whole new level?
Remember that Floyd?
Or is it only disrespect when you’re on the receiving end?
During Pacquiao’s moment to shine—or Hatton’s shot at redemption, since the fight was yet to happen—he tried to steal the thunder from the two fighters by announcing his comeback, just hours before the two were to face in the ring.
If you have respect for your fellow fighters, you don’t do that just hours before they are going to fight. Let them have their 15 minutes.
Then he added he wasn’t interested in watching the Pacquiao vs. Hatton fight, that, instead, he’d spend the time at the fair.
“Don’t disrespect me,” Floyd said last Sunday, forgetting what he did last May.
Remember your comeback Floyd? You disrespected Manny and Ricky.
What goes around comes around.
So don’t go crying on somebody else’s shoulder.
Somebody better remind Floyd that you don’t ask for respect.
You earn it.
That post-fight interview sure was a classic, though. Was it better than the fight itself? Hmmm…
Max Kellerman did the interview on the ring, and well, he hit Mayweather with a couple or more shots.
First when Mayweather was thanking his sponsors, he said, “Let’s not do any commercials…”
Then when Money refused to talk about the weight and was blabbering on, he took the mike away and said, “We’ll take that as a no.”
Then he brought Mosley and Bernard Hopkins in, which started the whole “don’t disrespect me thing.”
When he mentioned Manny Pacquiao, Mayweather Jr. grabbed the mike and said, “Let me do the talking, you talk too much,” forcing Kellerman to end it, calling out his fellow commentator, “Jim! Jim!” for the post-fight analysis and conclusion of the telecast.
It was quite funny how Money, right after thanking his sponsors, said he doesn’t want to talk about money when he was asked about his $600,000 penalty during the weigh-in.
Hmmm, maybe Money forgets everything he says the moment the words come out of his mouth?
