| Tyson: Mayweather Now Has To Live Up To The Fights
|
|
by Edward Chaykovsky Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is very impressed with Floyd Mayweather's very lucrative multi-fight deal with Showtime. Mayweather officially jumped ship from HBO to Showtime a few weeks ago, and signed a six fight agreement that some estimate is worth $250 million dollars. The first fight of the deal takes place on May 4th, when Mayweather defends the WBC welterweight title against Robert Guerrero at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Back in the 90's, it was Tyson who made nationwide headlines when he jumped from HBO to Showtime. "That's a guy's dream when they see someone doing that. That's the pinnacle. That's what they want to accomplish. That's what they want to get involved with. 100% [there is a new life in Showtime now], no doubt about it. The only thing is - Floyd now has to live up to the fights. He's not young anymore. He's older and he's fighting younger guys. If he continues to perform like he has been, then he'll be a superman," Tyson said to Power106. Tags: Floyd Mayweather Jr.  , Mike Tyson |

[QUOTE=TonkaJones]I personally can't see Mayweather completing the contract dont think he'll fight 6 more times. Love or hate him he's 1 of the most skilled fighters ever but he's not the fighter he was he's 36 now and is slowing down and I can't see him hanging around for another 6 fights

this fight is gonna look like the Hatton fight... there might even be a late rounds KO cause Guerrero will get tired and hit by a lot of upper cuts |

I expect Floyd to incorporate his bike more than ever in these six fights. Sure he told the Ghost he will go "toe to toe" with him how he wants it but lets be serious. Floyd is going to shoulder roll and back pedal all night for six fights. Don't expect any new tricks from this pony. |
