I think hes just doing that to really pull Pac in.
I have to say, if Mayweather ever steps up to Martinez; that is one hell of a statement. Not only is Martinez much bigger but he is on hell of a boxer as well. This would be a tactical showdown...a Mayweather win should catapult him higher up in the all time greats rankings.
There's so much fukcing posturing for these 2 to fight man, shit is so fukcing annoying.
I'll be surprised if Mayweather takes this fight before even re-entering negotiations with Pacquiao (I doubt it). Martinez is a bigger, stronger version of Pacquiao with less output, but he's the fastest Jr. Middleweight out right now.
Too big of a risk for him to take for half of the money he'd get for a Pacquiao fight.
We all know Mayweather would easily school Pacquiao
Time to move onto bigger and better, drug free opponents Pac bangs out mayweather within 6 rounds. Everyone knows and feels it. Easy Money!!!!

I wanna see the pac fight, but if he don't fight pac, martinez is a worthy challenge imho
But DiBella said: "If both fighters are demanding 50% of each other then it makes more sense for both of them to take a fight with someone where you can get 80 or 85%.
Good point.
I don't agree actually.
50% with Pacquiao would be more money then 80% with Martinez.
If Floyd fights Martinez he deserves respect.
Too bad he only fights fighters he knows he will beat.
Sounds like you're talking about Pacquiao.
Pac fights Cotto after he looks like shit against Margs and Clottey (and at a catchweight).
Pac fights Hatton a fight after he was knocked out by Floyd.
Pac fights DLH at 147 (lol) and after DLH was coming off a loss to Floyd.
I would say Pac will be fighting Shane next, but I don't know if Shane looked vulnerable enough against Floyd.
Maybe Pac will fight the loser of Cintron-Williams next... @ 147.

He knows he will beat everyone....if u didn't why would u even get in the ring. you'll be defeated before u step in the ring! No fighter should think or know he couldn't win...that's just stupid!
If he is to fight martinez....i say really test yourself and take him at 160 MW!!!
but i can make the most moulah with him whooping on Manny pacquiao! So i preefer that fight, but Money has earn the right to do no wrong for me anyways
I sure hope not cuz Money May needs 2 put an end to da Pac hype machine. I get tired of arguing at work about how skilled counter punchers give Manny trouble and we all know theres no better counter puncher than Floyd.
Ususally when reporters bring up potential opponents, Mayweather tosses it aside and doesnt even respond...like with Margarito and Paul Williams.
But when they mentioned Martinez, I was shocked when Floyd paused and actually answered the question! He said he saw the fight with Kelly Pavlik and had actually thought about it.
I dont know what it is about Martinez but Floyd seems interested. Id rather him fight Pac first, but Martinez would be a great encore in 2011(Martinez will be 36 then).
