There is a small army prepping the site at the Flatiron Pedestrian Plaza, yet many who live in the area are giving the star-studded event a frigid reception. Those in the area had hoped to put a stop to all of this.

Kevin Durant is the reigning MVP and scoring champ but his All-Star selection this year was a bit controversial since he’s only appeared in 24 of his team’s 51 games to this point in the season. The ever competitive Durant stood by his selection and when asked whether or not another player should have been chosen he said, “Whoever want my spot can play me one-on-one for it.” At the time it was taken as a challenge to Damian Lillard who wrote a lengthy Instagram caption about being snubbed. As you know Lillard never responded to that and was later chosen to replace the injured Blake Griffin. Someone else however took Durant up on his offer, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.
Mayweather could be performing damage control because his image is under attack since people are beginning to believe he is dodging the fight. But regardless, the pressure continues to mount as people anticipate the news of the big fight.
Twitter can obviously be fun. Super Bowl Sunday was a perfect example—a vibrant, real-time national conversation with everyone talking at once, yet still being heard. The instant gratification from sending out a good tweet is both exhilarating and fleeting. Unfortunately, Twitter can all too easily deteriorate into a cesspool of insensitivity and hostility while becoming a breeding ground for inane arguments.
I can’t tell if this is Mayweather doing image damage control or he is genuinely trying to make this fight happen. Regardless of what it is, Pacman and Arum got Mayweather backed into a corner. He is in a position where he has to try to prove himself to protect his image.
Let’s hope the fight happens.
