If Mayweather is trying to market to fight fans, he should consider fighting at the Barclays on PR Parade week. I as much as every poster on this site want him to fight Pacquiao, but lets be real, If Canelo and Cotto go at it on the May Date, And Floyd refuses to fight Pacquiao, What are his market options. Is Oscar trying to get him to rematch Canelo so he can be at the fight this time to watch. If that is the case, Oscar would watch Floyd masterclass his boy again. I think he should go the Garcia route if no Pacquiao. It is something that would sell. It would do at least 900K and at most 1 Million. Would Floyd actually need Xylo to beat Garcia. I know NSB Hates Garcia a lot, but if he No Look Left Hook KO'ed Mayweather, he would be worshiped on this site. I think Mayweather beats Garcia 7-3. What do you guys think. Is it possible that this fight might happen on this date at the Barclays. Or does this happen at the MGM Grand.
There's no point in fighting Garcia after he obviously lost the Herrera fight and the Salka fight just made him look like a cherry picker. Oh and ducking Postol doesn't rise his stock high enough to face Floyd. Facing Floyd would just be humiliating but I wouldn't doubt that Haymon would make this fight happen.
i agree.
if floyd doesnt sign for pacquiao next then i think he'll try for cotto and that 160 title. without pac thats the only way he can outsell canelo imo.
if canelo gets cotto first then garcia in june in NYC is possibly the only feasible option.
However if mayweather vs Garcia goes head to head with Canelo vs cotto. It will do more than Canelo cotto because casuals will be huge when it comes to buying the mayweather ppv.
Sure it's possible. Mayweather fights whoever he wants to fight. Fighting the guy who KOed Khan two years ago seems to make more sense than fighting Khan and Garcia should be a popular choice with the fans. Garcia can punch and take a punch and has some speed and skills so it's a good fight that Mayweather would almost certainly win.

Before this thread gets deleted for forcing Floyd to get in the ring with Pacquiao as this site is becoming more and more fighthypescene rather than boxingscene...let me just say that we as a boxing sports fans need to figure out a way how to get Floyd in the ring with Pacquiao A S A P. People are talking about ppv numbers and how Pacquiao can't sell *****. The truth is Floyd won't fight Pacquiao even if the ppv share was 99/1 on Floyd's favor. Floyd wants none of Pacquiao since day one period.
We need to start protesting because I'm not watching Floyd fight Amir Khan, Devon Alexander, or Danny Garcia. Floyd's been fighting clowns for way too long. We need to do something.
Once Floyd announces another fighter other than Pacquiao I'm ready to go to that press conference with full gears on with signs that says Pu$$y Floyd and #FightPacquiao.
I'm no Floyd hater but this ***** has to stop. Yes boxing is business but it's also a sport. How do people let Floyd get away making millions fighting two fights with a flat footed Maidena? I want to know who's better. Pacquiao or Floyd?
D@mn Floyd quit ducking and fight Pacquiao.
And no I don't need Floyd's a$$ kissers and his blind followers to tell me who's Brandon Rios and Chris Algieri or Pacquiao needs to get rid of Bob Arum and all that bs excuses. I need them to find Floyd and tell him to fight Pacquiao!
Stop making up excuses. Boxing is a sport yes! But boxing is also a fight! You can't say before a fight...hey I want you to get rid of your wife and I want you to deal with your taxes and I want you to first fight that guy or this guy before I fight you. When you do that it means you're scared but whatever we all already know that.
Floyd if you're scared of Pacquiao...RETIRE plain and simple.
Boxing fans. We cannot let another year, another fight go by without Floyd fighting Pacquiailo. If you're a true fan of the sport of boxing we need this fight!
Pacquiao, Cotto 2, Khan, and Garcia (Thurman could throw his hat into that mix too, with an impressive win against Bundu and an impressive win early February) are the viable opponents right now.
Barclays Center, if the money is right, is a viable venue for any Mayweather fight, but Danny "Swift" Garcia has yet to be adopted as that "next Puerto Rican star" to even consider chasing the Puerto Rican Day Parade weekend.
And Mayweather could use this like how he uses the mexican holidays to this time sell to the PR Fans. Garcia has enough of a fan base for this fight to do decent numbers

He has PR fans. And a PR vs Mayweather is enough to convince PR fans to buy because a PR fighter is being given the opportunity to beat Mayweather. Would it happen, probably not, but Mayweather would be the selling point and the fact that he is fighting a PR American fighter is an added bonus.

If Mayweather goes this route though, He will eventually have to fight Pacquiao. He can use Brook having a belt as an excuse. Once he fights if he fights Garcia and Brook, he will then have absolutely no more excuses. He must fight Pacquiao. But if he decides to fight GGG, We really can't question him because it would show a ton of balls for him to fight GGG
Danny has beaten some good names on his resume but his last outing wasn't good and he's not a named fighter, or at least big enough for casuals. He will need to beat someone good at 147lb before Floyd looks at him. Honestly there is no other fight out there for both PAC and MAY other than fighting themselves to make money period.
Casuals in the area of Oakland California know the name Danny Garcia.
It will sell if they stack the Undercard, and that What Mayweather will have to do.
Main Event
Mayweather vs Garcia
Co-Main
Thurman vs Maidana
Undercard
Broner vs Ortiz
Salka vs Meza Clay II

If Khan didn't have such a sh1t chin, he would be a threat.
Nonsense
Khan's chin may not be the greatest, but fair observation will show you that it's more his gameplan that gets him in those situations. Floyd does not have the power of Garcia or Maidana which troubled Khan and I highly doubt it would turn into the type of slugfest that gets Amir in trouble. There is a reason many different boxers and people in the sport say Khan is trouble for Floyd.
To say it would end in round 1 is just silly and bandwagon hating on Khan. Danny would be absolutely clowned by Floyd, Khan would actually be an interesting fight.
IMO the style that gets Khan in trouble might actually work against Floyd....don't know if he would win, but I think boxing/brawling would be his best bet to pull it off.
style wise kahn is more of a threat than garcia ...
the only fight he should be considering is pac anything else is just another blatant duck.
If Khan didn't have such a sh1t chin, he would be a threat.
It's not Garcia's time yet. Think Al will be smart and 'advise' him towards Soto Karass type fighter next year. Then maybe he will put him in again with Khan. If he does well he will have a natural star that should be able to draw PPV.
At this time it would feel like a desperate move for Floyd to get another name in event that Pac, khan and cotto fall through. That wouldn't be fair to Garcia.. He has his own lane to worry about.
Floyd vs Garcia would sell more than Floyd vs Khan. Floyd vs Khan is 80 dollars and it would end in 1 round. No one wants to pay 80 dollars to see a fight end in 1 round. Khan gets sparked out in rd 1.

1) Floyd won't give up the May date. His ego is too big for that.
2) Puerto Ricans aren't exactly crazy about Garcia. Many don't even consider him one of their own.
3) Garcia is far from Floyd's only choice. Floyd vs Khan would sell way better than Floyd vs Garcia on any date. Pretending otherwise is nonsense.
