Pacquiao - Mayweather Jr: Why it wont happen.

Now that Manny Pacquiao proved he was right. What's next? Facing Floyd, that is. A thrilling idea that just became a concept: a what if. But why it will never happen?

Because Mayweather Jr. want's to retire as undefeated. This is the only reason I can think of. If you say he fears Manny, I don't think so. I bet he can stand toe to toe with Pacman. He has the skills. He is undefeated. And he knows how to box.

Now the question is why he wants to retire undefeated? Two reasons I can think of - money and/or prestige. You wont get anything else out of being undefeated except for those two. If you're undefeated, you're value goes up. You become famous. You have control over your fights... Things like those. Can't blame the man for thinking about his future. Specially if you have a colleague like Mike Tyson. Being reminded of how it will be without money will definitely make you think twice.

I'm just not sure why would he choose a good retirement over proving that he is the best. If I know that I am the best then I know that I can defeat whoever is placed in front of me. Specially for a boxer, nothing is more precious than proving to the world that I am the best. And for Mayweather Jr., that should be a piece of cake. That's if he, really, is the best.

Maybe this is all just work for him. A job that he was to do even if he doesn't want to do it. In a way that's being professional and I think I can admire him for that. But,being a boxing fan, or an spectator at least, I would think low of how a boxer he is. He maybe undisputed or undefeated, but he will never be the best or the greatest as far as my opinion is concern. Even without considering Pacquio in the picture, Marquez will be better or greater that him.

Being undisputed or undefeated doesn't mean being the greatest or the best.

Institutional Value Index (IVI)

Formal Definition      The Institutional Value Index (IVI) is a multidimensional metric system that quantifies the vitality, coherence, and transmissibility of belief-based value within and around an institution.      It measures the degree to which an organization’s philosophy, behavior, and symbolic expression remain aligned across internal and external ecosystems, thereby predicting its capacity for long-term resilience and cultural endurance. 1. Conceptual Essence      Where the IVC defines how value flows, and the CCV System defines where it originates and reflects, the IVI defines how strong and stable that flow is.      In essence, IVI is the heartbeat of institutional meaning — converting the intangible (belief, trust, resonance) into a numerical signature that can be compared, tracked, and improved. 2. Structural Composition      The IVI aggregates six value strata (from the IVC) into ...

Company-Client-Value (CCV) System

Formal Definition      The Company–Client–Value (CCV) System is a relational framework that defines the dynamic equilibrium between the origin of belief (the company), the recipient and mirror of belief (the client), and the shared symbolic core (the value).      It models how institutional meaning is co-created, transmitted, and stabilized between organizations and their external constituencies, forming the fundamental triad that underlies every economic, cultural, or ideological ecosystem. 1. Conceptual Essence      The CCV system asserts that all sustainable institutions are founded on a shared value field;  an implicit agreement of meaning between producer and participant.      The company originates and expresses a value; the client perceives, validates, and reciprocates it. Between them stands the value itself,  the symbolic medium that both sides recognize as true.      When all three p...

linux firsts

i came across the linux timeline in wikipedia and learned that there are three major distros(distributions) where most of them came from. debian slackware redhat ubuntu, KNOPPIX and gibraltar are some of the distros that were based from debian. i would say it's a cross between slackware and redhat - and that's based from some of my research. i just dont have time to post details madriva, fedora and the "philippines distro" bayanihan are based from redhat. a very corporate feel and stable distro if you ask me slackware, which was the basis of openSuSE and vector, is a hobbyist distro basing from its history. althought, its support and community are as stable.
