Comments Thread For: Schaefer Expects a Huge 2013 With Mayweather's Double

[GRUSTLER]

This is 2012.......

You got your facts a little twisted, homeboy. Maynever Jr. was offered 8mil to fight Margarita in 2006. But instead ducked and dodge him for Carlos ta ta Baldomir a guy with like 25 loses. And Roids made 101 excuses why tata was a better choice.Then after the fight Roid starting crying and saying that no one appreciated him and that he was going to retire, that's the Truth!

and you guys STILL have the facts twisted.

Arum said, while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million.

Arum said Mayweather also asked for $20 million to fight De La Hoya, a fight Arum said he wasn't interested in participating in.

"That's not in the cards,"Arum said. "He wants $20 million for the De La Hoya fight? It's not there. Sometimes, my man, you gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. We'll talk about things down the road."

And this is what Antonio Margarito said:

"The only two threats I see at 147 pounds are Mayweather and Baldomir," Margarito recently told ESPN.com over brunch in Las Vegas. He will have, he said, a rooting interest Saturday night.

"Mayweather should be the favorite," Margarito said, "but Baldomir's a dangerous fighter. We'll see."

I mean, I wish for once people would not try to change history and what went down in Mayweather's career. Bob Arum used Mayweather's name to sell his Top Rank roster. He never wanted to make the Pacquiao fight homie so you got your facts twisted....

"It's not so much that I give a damn whether this fight happens--I don't-- and for me it's not the greatest experience doing a promotion with Floyd Mayweather," Arum said. "But not to do this fight would slow down the momentum of boxing."

And don't forget this.....

Arum also indicated he would like Pacquiao to get through the Hatton fight before going up against Mayweather saying“I want Mayweather to stay there (in retirement) until September. The longer he’s out the more rusty he’ll be."

This was all Bob Arum talking. Not Oscar, Schaefer or Mayweather but rather good ol Bob speaking and of course Margarito stating how dangerous of a fighter Baldomir was.

may 4th. mayweather vs guerrero and canelo vs trout. then mayweather vs canelo in september

[ddangerous]

I see Guerrero May 4th and Canelo Sept 14th. Kind of weird a black guy wants nothing more than to fight on Mexican holiday's but whatever that's where the money is.

Considering his two opponents are most likely Guerrero and Canelo, it makes perfect sense this time around...

Mayweather trying to steal buzz from Pacquiao fight week like always LOL. Like clockwork

What buzz is there for this fight with Marquez?

[tredh]

Not a single F@CK given on my part about this announcement. If PBF doesn't choose good opponents then what does any of this really mean? I swear if Guerrero is the May fight I hope the numbers aren't through the roof cause if they are I really think PBF won't fight in Sept or he will choose another opponent the caliber of Guerrero which be complete and total BS!!

RG and Canelo.


Nice.

[KnockoutKings]

Anytime non boxing fans start talking about boxing, that's a buzz. There's always a buzz when Mayweather or Pacquiao fight, the only two true stars left in Boxing.

I'm watching the rockets-lakers game and there was a in-game promo for the fight done by the play by play guy. Never seen that before so it was cool to see boxing promoted like that.

[M4RK]

Wow one of the most boring fighters is going to fight a whole 2 times...big whoop.
