Manny Pacquiao, You Are Next - Mayweather

Pacquiao and Mayweather will at long last be able to hold their much awaited fight of the century? Manny boxing analyst would think so, after Mayweather in an interview, brashly announced " Manny Pacquiao, you are next!" This announcement was done on TV which we were able to watch today, dated July 1, 2011, a Friday.

This announcement by Mayweather flew like wildfire on text to nearly every cellphone and smart phone numbering more than 80 million units across the width and breath of the Philippine Archipelago. Wow! I told myself upon hearing the announcement of Mayweather. At long last, the boxing world will know if who is the better boxer between Pacquiao and Mayweather.

Oh well, I cautioned myself from getting too much excited about this remarkable remark of Mayweather since we have already seen and heard how Mayweather and his camp together with his father the stop then go and again stop attitude when it comes to fighting Pacquiao.  Remember the blood test and the money sharing and then again back to the blood test?  Actually, remembering these, dampens my excitement and enthusiasm in a Pacquiao and Mayweather  fight. 

I really do not know the rationale behind the attitude of Mayweather and his camp, even that of his father.  If this is again another strategy to make the boxing world understand that Mayweather is not afraid to fight Pacquiao, then make it happen, since nearly everybody seemed to believe otherwise.
