Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao exchange phone numbers in person!

Mayweather and Pacquiao finally meet in person and were do they meet at? A Miami Heat game! The fighters were both sitting court side and were right across from one another. In case you guys don't know who Mayweather and Pacquiao are, they are boxing legends. Both Mayweather and Pacquiao make a lot of money fighting. Over the past years the fans wanted to see a fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao, but there has been a lot of issues and it did not happen. 

It was halftime and Mayweather who was sitting across from Pacquiao decided that he would walk over to Pacquiao and introduce himself. Mayweather got to were Pacquiao and both men shook hands. Both fighters chatted briefly and then exchanged phone numbers. The whole reason for giving each other there number was so they can communicate on weather or not they were going to be fighting each other. Mayweather than asked if them exchanging numbers was about them fighting and Pacquiao said,"Yes." Mayweather did not respond and kept looking at his phone. I hope that this fight happens even thought I don't know who I am going for.

Mayweather and Pacquiao are my best fighters in boxing. Every time I hear that they are fighting I have to watch the fight and cheer for who ever is fighting. Now that both fighters might fight I have no idea who to go for. Right now Mayweather has never been beaten and Pacquiao who has been beaten twice. I do remember watching both fights when Pacquiao lost and he got ripped off both times. 

I am really surprised that they were able to meet and did not do anything. In paragraph 2, I was saying that Mayweather went over to Pacquiao and shook his hand. That for me was a huge surprise because Mayweather is very cocky and always wants things down his way. Usually it's people coming to him and not him coming to you. The fight is supposedly scheduled for May 2, 2015, but anything can happen. There has always been tension between these two fighter and that is expected because these two are the best in boxing right now. 

Overall, I do hope that this fight happens and that I'm not to busy to watch it. Like, I was saying before I have no idea who I am going for. I like both fighters equally and this is a hard decision for me to make. I want to see a draw happen between these two so no one loses, but I'm not to sure if a draw can be a loss or a win. Anyways, if this fight happens it going to be talked about for many years.

Dwyane Wade Fined

Miami Heat guard, Dwyane Wade, was fined $15,000 for making an obscene gesture during Wednesday night's loss in Charlotte. This game in Charlotte was not a easy game for the Heat. The Hornets have held three teams to only scoring 80 points on them. Even though the Hornets are not doing good this year, I think that it is awesome that they’ve held their opponents to only scoring 80 points. I thought that the Heat was going to win this game without a problem, but that did not happen.

Let's get back to why Wade was fined $15,000 for an obscene gesture in the Heat vs. Hornets game. I did not get to watch this game because, like I told you guys, I don't have cable at my house right now. From what I heard, Wade was frustrated at the end of the third quarter because the Heat players missed three shots before going into the locker room. Wade make an obscene gesture to one of the referees and he got away with during the game, but was later fined for it. I feel Wade's pain when you get frustrated and it's really hard playing in a bad mood because you let your emotions get the best of you.

The obscene gesture that Wade did in the game against the Hornets was sticking out his middle finger to the Hornet's crowd. Like I said in my second paragraph, emotions sometimes take control. This is awful on Wade's part because he had no right sticking his middle finger out and, especially  towards the crowd. I look up to Wade and this just hurts me. I really do hope that Wade apologize to the Hornets crowd to his own teammates for getting frustrated.

Wade has to understand that little kids and adults look up to him while he is playing basketball. Even the crowd comes to watch, just like in the Hornets stadium there might have been a couple of Heat fans there and seeing what Wade did makes that person not like Wade or the Heat anymore. I think that Wade should have been fined a little more than just $15,000 because to him that is nothing. That is like wallet change for him.

Overall, Wade is an awesome player in the NBA and everyone messes up, but this was pretty big. I will always look up to Wade, but I won't do what he does and stick out my middle finger to the crowd. I just can't believe that Wade up and got so mad that he flipped of the crowd; that just breaks my heart. I can't empathize enough with the feeling that Wade needs to say he is sorry for what he did and I hope that he already has. What Wade did to the Hornets crowd is just as bad as him doing it to his own crowd, and that’s not right.

Update On The Heat

The Heat have been on a winning/losing streak. The Heat will win one or two games and then lose two games. I have heard a lot of rumors about the Cavaliers not going to make it to the playoffs and same about the Heat. When LeBron James went back to the Cavaliers I thought that there was no chance that the Heat were going to make it to the playoffs. I thought that the Cavaliers were going to be unstoppable because they had LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Love, but that's not the case. Both Heat and the Cavaliers have been struggling and even some rumors that I have seen on Facebook say that there has never been a team with 50% of wins to win the championship.

On the Heat it has been Dwayne Wade who has been having problems with his health. For the Cavaliers it has been LeBron James who is also having health problems. I'm not saying that both these guys are going drugs or anything like that, but are having more injuries to their body. Both Dwayne Wade and LeBron James have been my two favorite players for a very long time. Although Wade is my first favorite player and LeBron James is my second. There are other players in the NBA I like, but these two are on the top of my list.

Let's talk more about the Heat and what they look like so far this year. The Heat's record is 18 wins and 24 losses. In the Eastern Conference the Heat are seventh which to me is really surprising. I thought the Heat were way down the list, but I was wrong. There are other teams in the NBA that are not doing so good this year. It seems like this year most of the underrated teams are on top.

On the other hand Cavaliers are having trouble getting wins too. Earlier in this blog I said that LeBron James is having health problems and James being out has took it's toll on the time. I also read on Facebook when James is out or hurt the team starts to lose. I believe that Cavaliers depend on James to do all the work and to me that's not right. I'm not saying that like the team can't do nothing without James, but Kyrie and Love can't do it by themselves. Same goes with the Heat and I do get that both teams are getting new players to their team, but should be able to work without lost players. 

The Heat just got new jerseys this year and they are black with white lettering. The company who made the black and white jersey's for the Heat call them tuxedo's. I was looking at the new jersey's online and to me they look pretty good. I'm not to sure if I would get one, but I would get a shirt that has the same design. I'm not a person to wear jersey's, I don't know why the jersey's just feel funny when I wear one.
