I know this post will upset some people and while some will agree with me. But all the same, i go sha yarn my own. The May 2 bout between the world's greatest pound for pound fighters in the world and boxing's greatest pay-per-view match got me awake till 6am this morning. I had to set my alarm clock so that I witnessed first hand the greatest fight in boxing history. ( I actually missed my flight to LA.. hehehe). Okay back to what I was saying, this fight got so much adverts, every social media platform talked about the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight. Even some pastors even used it as their sermon last week. (trust naija pastors today with their sermon na.)
After so much anticipation for six years, waiting for the fight of the century, I was left with nothing but disappointment as both fighters delivered nothing close to the 'blood-bath' fight we expected to see. Even Beyonce sef was sure Solange her sister would have done better (no be me tok am oo. lol)
Anyways sha, I am not here to talk about the yeye fight i denied myself sleep to watch, I just want to draw out a different perspective from what other people will be talking about. To be honest ehn I was rooting for PACMAN to win but it never happened. (thank God sey i no bet sha). However, I want to focus more on the undisputed champion and the winner of yesterday's or today's fight (depending on your time zone).
Have you ever been told that your approach of getting things done was old-fashioned, stale, boring or not in vogue? Have you been booed even after doing your best? That was exactly what happened in the fight between two undisputed champions. Maywaether Jnr. was boo'ed and his technique to winning the fight was criticized by many (even me) but the end they say, justified the means. I am not saying one should go through dubious means to achieve success or victory, all i am saying is this; you do not have to do things the way other people do their stuff before you achieve success.

No matter how stale people call your ways of doing things are , no matter the amount of boos you get, just remember, that what matters most is getting the desired result. Mayweather may be called the Chelsea of boxing but he is more than a 100 million dollars richer. Be your motivation.
