Pacquiao Fans: Time To Show Floyd Mayweather Who's The Boss!

Call me a hypocrite. I don't care.

A few weeks back I wrote a column stating that all good boxing fans should boycott BOTH the Manny Pacquiao-Joshua Clottey and Floyd Mayweather, Jr.-Shane Mosley bouts.

If Pacquiao fans really want to see their fighter face Floyd Mayweather sometime next year they need to make a statement that will be heard loud and clear in Grand Rapids, Las Vegas and the offices of Golden Boy Promotions. A shot heard 'round the world.

I say this based on the recent article out of Michigan where Floyd, Jr. stated that he will demand a 65-35 slit based on the fact that his bout with Sugar Shane Mosley will easily outperform the Pacquiao-Clottey fight. 

Many boxing writers, myself included, believe that this is PBF's way of getting out of a fight he doesn't want to take well in advance. A preemptive strike to make sure Pacquiao-Mayweather never happens. 

Another ploy by the Chicken Boy.

Floyd knows that Bob Arum will never agree to a 65-35 split. Making such a demand effectively cancels a possible Pacquiao-Mayweather showdown before negotiations even start. 

There's one drawback with Money's master plan. Neither fight has taken place yet.

That means fight fans and Pacquiao fans can do something about Mayweather's preemptive strike. If you're a boxing fan like myself, a Manny Pacquiao fan or a PBF hater this is the time to act.

Fans need to show Money who's the boss by supporting the Pacquaio-Clottey bout. They can buy that fight in order to make the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight happen.

They need to get their friends to buy it, too. 

And feel free to call me a hypocrite. I can take it.
