The crazy world of 140 characters. Sarcasm stinks on Twitter and it's very easy to get burned once what looks like a critical statement goes viral. Shane Mosley found that out after his comments about Manny Pacquiao, @sugarshanem, blossomed into what many were labeling a steroid allegation.
Mosley says his Tweet was misunderstood:
"There has been some media coverage recently, stating that I accused Manny Pacquiao of steroid use on Twitter.� This is not true.� I personally respond to my followers on Twitter, and there was an article sent to me which I Re-tweeted.� I did not write the article and did not say that I agree with it.� I have defended Manny Pacquiao publicly regarding these type of allegations, stating that they have never been proven true," Mosley told Yahoo! Sports through a P.R. person.
"In our post-fight press conference I told the world that Manny won because he was the better man that night. Manny and I have a mutual respect for one another as true warriors and gentlemen.� We both strive to be the best we can be at boxing, as family men, and as humanitarians."
The initial reports were shocking considering the fact that Mosley is working a deal to have Pacquiao's promoter Top Rank Promotions assist him with his new promotion. Bob Arum and Mosley pledged their allegiance shortly after the Pacman fight at the MGM.
