I've had contact with a source of mine, telling me that Scoop Malinowski, and the guys from Examiner.com, are about to run a series of false rumours, and claims that Floyd Mayweather will be boxing retired, junky, Paul Spadafora in July.
My source has been in contact with a mole in one of the sites, who's told me that the amateurs have been in open discussion on how to forumlate the story.
This isn't a new tactic. When you're getting flack for promoting a lousy bout, the fans don't want to see, the best way to sell it is by claiming your rival is about to fight someone considerably worse.
You know, in the world of the blind the one eyed man is king.
A similar tactic was used, when Pacquiao signed to face Joshua Clottey. Malinowski and Examiner, tried to push a lot of fake rumours that Mayweather would be fighting "Mathew Hatton" at Wembley Stadium in London.
He ended up facing the toughest guy available, in the biggest money fight available - one Shane Mosely.
The truth is, Floyd doesn't fight anyone unless they're paying him borderline record money. He hasn't fought anyone but a marquee name, since Carlos Baldomir - and he stillgot big money for that bout.
The theory that a guy, who only boxes once a year, is going to make that one fight Paul Spadafora, is a ridiculous one, that should just be ignored.
As hinted above, my sources are telling me that this is another "Mathew Hatton". Lunatic amateur writers, trying to start false rumours, to divert the heat Pacquiao is getting, towards his great nemesis.
