Regardless of the acrobatical and illogical adventuristic arguments that are issuing forth from the sycophants of MP, objective examination of the issue leads to a single conclusion. The answer to the question of who is responsible for the fight not taking place is absolutely and unequivocally Manny. It is Manny who has stone walled a condition that is applicable to both fighters.

Sometimes it requires these kinds of issues to ferret out the awful level of hypocrisy and idolatry that inundate the psyche of some sport fans. MP is the beneficiary of a cult following, whose expressions and trajectory of thinking makes that poignantly obvious. Rather than deal with the issue of why MP refuses to accept a conditional clause in the fight contract that bind both participants equally and without favor or affection malice or ill-will, to random drug testing, they resort to scathing attacks on PBF.

Genuine boxing fans need to adamantly resist the trend to dumb down the examinations and analysis of issues in the sport they love and follow, to 2 synapses south of the IQ score of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men character "Lennie". I mean the excuses, propositions and conclusions to make MP an angel and PBF a devil are not what one would expect from the compos mentis.

This entire episode has become a modern day replica of Hans Christian Andersons' tale of the Emperor and his invisible clothes. But unlike in that tale where the fawning crowd, who were moments ago praising the Emperor's nakedness, responded to the little boy's exclamation by picking up the cry of the Emperor's nakedness, their current day equivalents have formed a metaphorical lynch mob and are going after the little boy (PBF). American dominance of boxing has waned dramatically over the past two decades or thereabouts. Maybe that explains the sharp decline in attributes like lucidity, coherence and logic in the conversations that are taking place.
