Mayweather vs. Pacquiao: Legends Have Too Much Drama to Worry About Super-Fight

Neither Manny Pacquiao nor Floyd Mayweather Jr. have room to plan for a super-fight right now. Mayweather is said to be having a tough time adjusting to life in jail.

I'm not sure who takes that change of lifestyle in stride, but his attorney is apparently trying to get Mayweather freed (via LA Times).

He has only served 12 days of his sentence, but apparently Mayweather's health is deteriorating and it could threaten his career.

This is easy to joke about, but I have my doubts about the mental shape Mayweather will be in after his release. It may not seem like a major deal to those that aren't serving the time, but one moment in confinement would be too long for me.

If Mayweather is unable to posture his way out of jail, I wonder if he'll be the same fighter after his release. Right now, his primary focus needs to be on his family. He needs to come to grips with what landed him in jail and ensure that this doesn't happen again.

Manny Pacquiao should be very low on his priority list.

As for Pacquiao, he just lost his first fight in seven years. No matter what the uproar about the decision is, the record books say Tim Bradley won and the title changed hands. Pacquiao should be preparing for a rematch to set things straight.

Just as Juan Manuel Marquez battled Manny again after controversial decisions, Manny should look to fight Bradley again after this one.

He also needs to address what is an eroding skill set and harmful approach to the sport. Manny is not as relentless as he once was, and that is the biggest reason he hasn't scored a knockout in five fights.

Pacquiao has aspirations of a political career after boxing (he is currently a congressman in the Philippines and plans to run for governor of the province in 2013, per GMA News Online), and his religious beliefs contradict his commitment to the sport (via Yahoo! Sports).

These are things that need to be cleared up before he can think about fighting Mayweather. The chances of a super-fight have never looked so bleak.
