Floyd to Manny: “We Have To Make This Fight Happen”

Some of you doubt that Floyd Mayweather really, truly, completely, wants to get in the ring with Manny Pacquiao. He fears a loss, he doesn’t want to give even a morsel of pie to ex promoter Bob Arum, he’s waiting till his current Showtime deal runs out so he can sign a new contract, with some entity, with a Pacman bout as part of his “what he brings to the table” package…

All these theories have been offered as to why “Money” hasn’t done what it is in his power, in my mind to do, which is tell Al Haymon to get ‘er done, wrap this damned thing into a bow, and tell the boxing world they are getting what they want…

If you’re of the mind that the only impediment to making this fight is A-plus side Mayweathers’ issue or issues, then this clip likely won’t change your mind. But if you are on the fence, and think HBO is the stumbling block, or Bob Arum, not wanting to share power and open up how he deals with Manny to a wider world, then maybe this Vine video, shot or released by Floyd galpal Doralie “Bad Medina” Medina, will sway you.

@badmedina, from the looks of this video… I’m telling Manny Pacquiao that we have to give the world this fight @jleonlove @badmedina @badmedina @badmedina @badmedina @badmedina

In the minute excerpt from a fairly lengthy meeting the two boxers had after they both attended an NBA game pitting the Miami Heat against the Milwaukee Bucks, two weeks ago, Floyd tells Manny, “We have to make this fight happen.”

Now, having any takeaways from 12 seconds of footage is a dubious proposition, I think, but since all we on the sidelines are offered are snippets of the totality of the complex whirl of personalities and agendas and desires, we work with what we get…
