Money Mayweather


We are in the midst of watching history, greatness, something that we may never ever witness again and I don't think the public appreciates that. It's sad really, the hard work and dedication that's shown to us is constantly pushed to the side and countered with arguments of brashness and showboating. But people, what was it that allowed this man to be brash? What was it that allowed him to showboat? His talent, the fact the this man right now at this present time is all the boxing has left!!! Think about it for a minute, if there is no Floyd Mayweather, then who right now can command an audience, causal and die hard to spend over $60 on a pay per view? Without him there is no boxing, gone are the days where heavyweights dominated, it's over for that. He's took a sport in which some say is dying and reinvigerated it. The man stimulates the Las Vegas economy, employs many and is still looked at to be the villain. Crazy, crazy, crazy 44-0 and there are still doubters, why do people still deny his skill? The masses cheered for Canelo, the “Savior” the boxer who was supposed to take the alleged “blueprint” from Oscar De La Hoya and finally defeat undoubtedly one of the greatest boxers ever and he like the previous 43 opponents left the ring praising his skill, frustrated from the lack of contact they weren't making, unable to stick to the game plan developed by their trainers. For 17 years we have been able to watch history, isn't it time you all enjoyed it? Is it a race thing, the Black man who think he's above societies bullshit? Is it the fact that he's earned his money legally? That he show's the youth that there's a better way? I believe a ton of factors play into the reception he receives from the general non African American public....but whatever it is just know the champ is here and it's something we should all relish
