Spoke to Richard Schaefer about Ortiz. I jokingly asked if he's working on Floyd-Guerrero deal. He said Mayweather WON'T be facing Guerrero.

Pacquiao has done more than enough by compromising to a
LESSER PURSE and
PED TESTING.
You mean to tell me Floyd can’t agree to fight at a date three weeks later?
LOL
Floyd, instead of posturing on twitter be a MAN and make an effort by
compromising to fight in late May.
If Floyd agrees to fight in late may and team Pac decides to use another
excuse... then i'll be the first to turn my back on Pac!
Floyd is his own man and doesn't a have a promoter getting in
the way of things so he has the liberty of calling the shots from his end!
Beating Oscar ass can only take you so far in my book. That fucker ain't even fit to share a sig with Tito.
Floyd-Pac isn't happening. No need for hope not even a slim one.
Yeah, I know. Just sad as a fan. These things happen once in a blue: two top pound for pound superstars and fighters in the same division! Come on, Manny. What is it that is so scary??
:mad::mad:

And once again Mayweather shows his true colors.
Add Guerrero to the long list of opponents Mayweather has decided to avoid these past couple of years; Nate Campbell, Paul Spadafora and Matthew Hatton.
If he does not follow through and fight Erik Morales i'm done with this clown.
I couldn't have said it better myself. Dude is a clown.

Basically. How sad. As a boxing fan, to witness this happen before my very eyes, has been a painful experience. I wash hands clean of Manny. He's become a joke. And Mayweather's next fight will probably be a joke too--which makes me say "f*ck you, Manny" even more. Whatever. I'm still holding out hope though (as slim as it may be).
Holding out hope to what?
The Guerrero fight was not happening. Golden boy used to get some buzz on him and it worked. His name got out there. Now he's going to be on the VH1 awards. They did their job as a promoter by getting one of their fighters out there by linking him up to the biggest star in the sport.
I don't know what Floyd is going to do. Pac is ducking him and is the most blatant duck since Bowe-Lewis. So I'm not sure where he is going to go? Canelo and Cotto seem like the only realistic fights. But, I think those were the frontrunners from the get go.

Is not really a leap if you don't know who the sources are. The source could very well be someone from Guerrero camp who probably was told by Schafer(the original person that linked Guerrero to Floyd) that they're working in making such fight. Lets not forget that's how they signed Guerrero by promising him a fight with Floyd.
You acting like the media is bring up the worse opponents possible out of thin air. Every single opponent that Floyd been linked to has been thrown out by a promotional company who likes to pretend like they promote Floyd. Knowing damn well Floyd only uses them on a fight to fight basis. They have Mayweather under their fighter banner. Yet he is not on their stable.
If GBP doesn't mention the names of these fighters for Floyd. Then the media or Top rank won't link them together. But, every single opponent that been linked to Floyd except for Cotto the original source has been GBP.
the point is, to me at least, if the source is unconfirmed, then what is the point of going thru with the story? is this what passes for journalism nowadays? i mean steve kim does this regularly and from what ive seen, hes always wrong. what im saying is that is piss poor journalism. label it a rumor or something but when ur writing articles like that, to me at least, it makes u look like a hack. gbp as their job to do and the media has their job to do. i dont see why is should hold them to a lower standard esp when they are wrong time and time again and yet they continue to do the same thing.
Yeah, that's exactly what it is. I don't think Guerrero was ever an option and I think Canelo is probably a last resort. Mayweather has few options which is why he's ramping up the charge to get Pacquiao in the ring. I don't see him getting motivated for any other fighter not named Martinez or Cotto.

and once again, thats all fine and cool. but its one thing to go from guerrero is an option to "inside sources confirm guerrero is finalizing a deal with mayweather". thats a huge leap. and it happens everytime floyd annouces hes coming back. to me, its clear that certain members of the media seem keen on connecting mayweather with the worse opponent possible. and its funny how the source is never cofirmed but everytime they ask schafer or a memeber of team mayweather, then the answer is always no.

Exactly, it was Schafer. Who put his name out there. Not Arum, not the media, Schafer put his name out there along with Canelo. If Schafer wouldn't have thrown his name out there then Arum nor the media would have linked him to Floyd.
And, it worked for Schafer/GBP to link Guerrero with Floyd. It gives Guerrero some buzz that he doesn't have.
