Was pretty busy yesterday, but I wanted a chance to chime in on this whole FLoyd Mayweather thing...
I'll preface what I'm going to say by mentioning that Floyd is an absolute FOOL. That being said, he's no dummy. Let's remember...this guy is a SHAMELESS self-promoter. Jeremy Lin is the biggest story in sports right now, and somehow Floyd Mayweather got his name on everyone's mind due to what he said. This guy is doing nothing but trying to drive up the purse for his fight vs. Pacquiao. Disparaging comments that further draw the ire of Asians is a well-calculated move on Floyd's part, IMO. Doesn't make what he said right, but I have to think that his goal was to piss off as many Asians as he can to gain more viewers (which fattens HIS pockets) for the uber-hyped, Mayweater/Pacquiao fight. If this fight goes down, more people (Asians) will be tuned in with the hopes that he gets his *+$ beat. Floyd has the cable rights, fight rights, etc for this bout w. Pacman....the more people tuned in, the better for him. He says stuff to promote himself. Whether he's right or wrong, people will be watching. He'll keep trolling in the months, weeks, days leading up to his fight and he'll keep ruffling feathers. This is what he wants.
Jeremy Lin...what can you say? I'm a believer. I'm real happy for the kid and I never would have guess that he would have been this good so quickly in the Knicks system. I'm a bit curious as to what's going to happen when Melo is healthy.
