Is it any more obvious? Let us now thank all those who have influenced Mayweather to bite.

We all know Pacquiao wanted this fight more than Mayweather did.

Mayweather talks timing, how he wanted the perfect time to create this fight.

Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Bernard Hopkins, Oscar de la Hoya, and to all those who promoted the fact, if Mayweather is to be the best ever he must fight Pacquiao, thank you. All this influence came from others not Mayweather’s own determinism.

Contenders to fight and time have run out on Mayweather. There is no running now.

Even the Miami Heat should get a thank you, reminding all Mayweather and Pacquiao met at a Heat home game during halftime and after the game exchanging numbers in January, sparking talks between both camps.
