So, it’s done; Mayweather has done the business on Shane Mosley and everyone went home happy. Everyone except Mosley of course. Immediately, the big discussion in world boxing turned once more to whether Mayweather Pacquiao tickets will be on the boil sometime later this year. According to those in the know, Pacquiao has reconsidered his perspective on drug testing and the stricter regulations that Mayweather’s camp postulated. When their huge fight collapsed in January, 2010 many believed the differences were irreconcilable but now with this latest Mayweather victory we are looking at the prospect again of these two guys going at it.
Pacquiao vs. Mayweather is the fight of the decade, no question, and tickets will sell like wildfire. These guys are without doubt the top two fighters in world boxing. This superfight is going to outstrip all others, in ticket sales as well as PPV; Mayweather broke the pay-per-view record of 2.45 million in his victory over Oscar De La Hoya back in 2007, but he isn’t finished yt. The money involved here is something most boxers can only dream about, but both of these guys deserve it and are stil interested in making it happen. Once the camps are agreed on terms for drug testing, it will be all systems go. Maybe the original reason I created MayweatherPacquiaotickets.com will finally happen! I cannot wait.
It was a double anti-climax in a way, when Pacquiao fought Joshua Clottey and Mayweather beat Mosley, despite Mosley rattling Floyd a little before the man got it together and did what only he can – well, only he and Pacquiao. In the meantime we have to think about stuff like Cotto v. Foreman at Yankee Stadium, Khan v. Malignaggi fight tickets and Beranza v. Kennedy tickets, but all the while the Mayweather Pacquiao thing looms in the background. The accusations by Mayweather, that Pacman was using performance-enhancing drugs, seems to have subsided, as Mayweather’s crusade against drug use in the sport continued way past the moment the Pacquiao fight collapsed. In fact, many are saying that Money May’s stance on drug testing could even lead to better regulation and ruling on such issues.
