Step Your Game Up Money May

There may come a day when I stand here and burn on a Floyd Mayweather fight that I can’t wait to pay for and watch. But today is not that day. Floyd announced on Twitter he will be fighting Victor Ortiz in September saying, “My fans have been waiting long enough!” I think you mean your accountants, May. Because no one I know is saying, “C’mon, man!! How long do we have to wait for Mayweather-Ortiz? The only person on the planet who’s legitimately excited that you’re fighting Victor Ortiz…is Victor Ortiz. And maybe my man, Chris Mannix from S.I. Money May also says at this stage of his career, he’s looking for “Challenges.” You know what would be a great challenge? There’s this southpaw from the Philippines. He hits like a mule, is the best fighter in the world pound for pound, is a 8 time World Champion, in interested in politics and likes to dabble in singing. You know that guy, right? Look, I get that Ortiz is credible. He’s no can and he’s no Shane Mosely. Just don’t expect me to be any more pumped for this one than I am Pacquiao v. Juan Manual Marquez in the fall.

If you’re pumped for either of these fights, you’re in one of them. Or getting paid for one of them. If Pacqauio and Mayweather are both still fighting, they should be fighting one another. It’s the fight everyone wants, the sport needs and there’s no good reason it’s not happening. Enjoy the payday, Floyd, but I’m not adding to it and throwing down for it. Not until your opponent’s name rhymes with Panny Maquaio.
