LAS VEGAS — In the case of The People v. Floyd Mayweather and Andre Berto, held this week in the court of public opinion, it hasn’t even been close.
One by one, the jabbing blows of criticism have piled up without much in the way of contradiction, seeming to amass a mountain of evidence that Saturday night’s welterweight contest at the MGM Grand Garden Arena will be a sham and not a show.
The theory is consistent: Berto is no match for pound-for-pound champion Mayweather, and the whole thing is a waste of time and pay-per-view money.
