I apologize if this is a tired subject but I haven't seen it posted, even though it's old news.
I just got a chance to read some of the PBF chats over at boxing///talk.com (June and August) and this guy just cracks me up. I am a huge Mayweather fan, but this guy is calling out people that he has no intention of fighting.
"I want Judah"
"Why won't you do the fight 50/50?"
"Because Judah has to understand something called market value."
This is such bullshit! Clearly the fight would be big because of both fighters, not just PBF. The same thing happened with him and Winky. The guy calls out fighters and demands rediculous purses, then settles on Mitchell? Is that really calling out the best?
I would be fighting at heavyweight, but if I called out the best and demanded a billion per fight, should I be credited with "willing to fight the best at any time?"
Don't get me wrong, Floyd is the man, and I think he could beat almost everyone he called out, but come on man! Make the fights dammit!
I agree fella... I used to think Zab was a prick after he started on Nady, but since then he's redeemed my faith by fighting spinks in spinks's backyard for $100,000. - That show's Zab has confidence and that Zab wanted those belts!!!
Now Zab is the undisputed Welterweight champion because he took a pay cut to get himself into this position.
I'm not sure what planet Mayweather lives on sometimes? :confused:
My sentiments exactly. Especially in the heavyweights matchmaking and $$$ issues are being used as excuses constantly. It's an obvious ploy. Take the cut, win the glory and the next fight pays you back. It's claimed to be about face but as Martin pointed out, look at Judah's results. Now THAT'S money in the bank.
So how long do you guys think until his first loss? How do you think he would react then?
I think he will continue to win quite easily until he fights Oscar. When that happens i think it might be a toss up. Mayweather is faster and has better defense but dlh has a better chin and has the power.
Mayweather is one my all time favorite fighters but he needs to stop being a bitch about money. I know he is not afraid of Juhah or any on these guys but his demands are ridiculous. He should just make some big fights happen and more money will come.
Floyd gained market value with his win over Gatti.
I have a bunch of friends who don't follow boxing. None of them know who Zab Judah or Winky Wright are. Most of them know who Floyd Mayweather is.
Out of the three, Floyd's the draw.
Double Zab's purse don't cut it?
