Bad Guy and Good Guy, Which is Which for May 7’s Pacquiao Vs Mosley Face-Off?

Manny Pacquiao and Sugar Shane Mosley went on to a five-city press tour in order to promote their upcoming fight which would be next Saturday. It’s like they don’t have anything to worry about as both fighters are smiling and joking at the same time. Even if we grew up with stereotype boxing opponents drawing thumbs down unto each other, like they can’t stand each other to be one another, still, the lovely scene was like Mosley is playing along with the charade that’s attached to the fight. Mosley has to go along, because he seemingly begged Top Rank promoter Bob Arum to fight the People’s champ.

During a boxing conferences building up to the big day, there’s always the protagonist and antagonist, but I’m truly baffled why these two guys are acting like they are silly old friends, instead of looking like assassins who will have to butcher each other on fight night.

Attention-starved Floyd Mayweather Jr. cooked up flair and drama at everyone at his press conferences. Funny sitting in one of those gigs because he would come with nothing more or less, and Mayweather has his ways with backing up everything he said.

We all know that Pacquiao smiles and laughs all the time, and that includes his way to the bank. If Mosley is deadpan serious about winning the fight, he should dig down wiping that confident smirk on Pacquiao’s face.

After I watched the premiere episode of Showtime’s ‘Fight Camp 360’ it gave that sensational gut punch which made me think that Mosley should probably play the role of the bad guy, highlighting the fact that he has most of the advantages turn noses against him. His advancing age, declining skills, doubting thoughts from haters and fans alike, and a hurtful loss to Mayweather and a desperate allegiance with Bob Arum for arranging his fight with Pacquiao. These things should be boiling inside him now, ready to explode any minute.

Bad guy or good guy of the show, we have nothing else to do but wait with what May 7, (May 8) in the Philippines has in store for us boxing fans and enthusiasts.
