"Jeremy Lin is a good player but all the hype is because he's Asian.

Nope, not all of it. Lin is a quality point guard whose play has sparked a 5 game win streak from a team that was going no where. While it's two superstar players were out with injury. In the biggest media market in the world. And Lin came out of nowhere to do this, after being cut by two teams. He'd be a story right now whatever his ethnicity.

And then there's the fact that he's Asian.

Mayweather needs to get back to doing what he does best - making up lame excuses not to fight Pacquiao.

Actually, it's Manny that is ducking Floyd now.

All Mayweather asked for was Olympic style drug testing, and Manny refused. I've always suspected Pac-Man was doping. He went from being a good fighter to being a dominant fighter in no time flat.

I like Manny a heck of a lot better than Floyd, but I think Floyd would kick his butt. And I think Manny knows that.

Of course, Floyd's demand that he be the higher paid of the two is absurd. It should be a 50/50 purse split, period. In fact, Manny is a MUCH bigger global star. If anyone has claim to a bigger purse share, it's him.

It's a shame that this fight won't happen. Floyd is fighting someone else this spring, and then he's off to jail for six months.
