Lucas Matthysse: Floyd Mayweather was promised to me and taken away!

So Al Haymon played Lucas like he played Khan? Good for Lucas for staying loyal to Goldenboy. He said "they are like family (GB), they were loyal to me an I'm also loyal. I don't fight for money, I fight for glory and I have a title shot and pnxe I win the big fights and money will come." Aguante Argentina La Concha Su Madre! At the 4:45 mark of the video: http://youtu.be/OmeILcFdwlw On staying loyal to GoldenBoy: http://youtu.be/YiufPWwv_dQ "Danny Garcia's ducking me but I'm coming after him! (Spanish): http://youtu.be/gjdKRG5Jndk A lot of you seem to have got the wrong end of the stick, let me clarify. He knows he's lost so I doubt he's talking about a promise made in 2013. He is talking about last year where Haymon presumably told him a Mayweather fight is coming so he signed with Haymon however Lucas was fed up of getting Molina and Ortiz (not even a title shot) and as a result left Al. He's commenting on last year and not 2013. He's a smart guy, he knows he lost to Garcia and had to rebuild, I watch every move (and interview) Lucas makes and there's no reason to assume he's talking about an old promise.

Any version of Ruslan Provodnikov I've seen beats any version of Andre Berto and I'm not talking Guerrero/Ortiz level beatings, he fucks him up. Because they feel they were strung along, Mattthysse says he was promised, when you're made a promise and it's broken you get a bit annoyed. As fans we know better than for anyone to rely on Mayweather/Haymon but a lot of the fighters don't. Ok but he lost his biggest fight when he had all the hype and hasn't even moved up. He's a fool if he really thought he was getting Floyd after losing to garcia and staying at 140

I do not think that at all about Berto and I would ask that you not suggest I said this. My opinions are: 1. Berto is better than provo in every way IMO. 2. That he is doesn't make him worthy of the fight with Floyd, make the Floyd/berto fight good, or makes me think Floyd isn't going to fight again. OK, I will confirm after the LSC/Mares fight because If I lose that I can't cover 600 quad. Yeah and Berto would crumble under pressure from the limited fighter in Ruslan and would get knock the F out!

You know boxing is in bad shape when people are still crying over a fight from 2012. Nothing interesting has happened since then that you care to talk about?

Are we really still taking about Lucas deserving a Floyd shot? Really? The guy has never even fought at welterweight, never been a champion and he found a way to lose the biggest fight of is career, a fight he was the clear favorite to win. Seriously what am I missing? He didn't deserve a damn thing. Correct. I don't know how anyone can argue he deserves Floyd after losing to Garcia, and he has done nothing since to deserve it; he isnt even a 147 fighter!

How is that relavant? Molina beat Mickey Bey (who was recently a champion) and Hank Lundy, triangle theories are useless as Lucas would beat the living **** out of many of Floyds recent opponents. (Guerrero, Ortiz, Berto now). Lucus goes to war with each of those guys......life and death. Lucus is overrated as hell on nsb. Lost to washed up Judah. Struggled with Molina and Danny whipped his tail. Lucus is what he is.

yea because losing to Danny Garcia and going to war with fighters like Molina had nothing to do with him falling out the race for a fight with Floyd. Danny Garcia was front runner to face Floyd immediately after their fight but Danny turned to fight down. I don't think Matthysse felt he was getting Mayweather after losing to Garcia. I suspect he's referring to 2014 when Haymon matched him with two low-ranked fighters like Molina Jr. and Ortiz thus making any Mayweather fight impossible even if he won both bouts by R.1 KOs.

man why do all these dudes who want a Floyd fight sound like scorned ex-girlfriends when they don't get it smh LOL this is incredibly true. Khan saying he was "hurt" by Floyd when Floyd chose to fight Maidana instead. Now Matthyse saying Floyd was "promised to me." This stuff really does sound like they are scorned ex girl friends.

Why would he be promised Mayweather? Maybe if he'd beaten Garcia but he lost So what did Berto do to earn his shot over Lucas? That's what I thoughtlol these dumbass fl0mos are bending over backwards trying to justify berto getting the fight so much they are going to break in half.

GMAN_SUPREME

No berto got the fight because on paper its an easy win for Floyd that allows him to return from "retirement" undefeated for his return fight.you f@ggot what the fuk kind of justification is that

that's how al gaymon signed those fighters by promising them fights with gayweather jr but knew damn well they were never going to get it.Im glad lucas saw the light and left gaymon khan and thurman should do the same thing.the fact that berto got the fight over them must burn them up inside.LOL at al gaymon using gayweather jr as a pawn.

He lost to Garcia, I think that was were everything went wrong for Lucas. This sums it up You were being groomed for Floyd, then Danny beat your ass clean. Next. Why would he be promised Mayweather? Maybe if he'd beaten Garcia but he lost So what did Berto do to earn his shot over Lucas? That's what I thought
