Oscar is Going to be Salty!

Floyd keeps his name HOT using all of his former opponents when they are on FIRE. (Oscar, Alvarez, McGregor & now Packy) Smart move.

It's already a bigger story, every outlet is reporting it now including ESPN Nice, Floyd obviously knows what he's doing.

I don't think it takes anything away from GGG vs Canelo. It's the same great fight it always was. Is someone who was going to buy a PFV suddenly not going to buy it because Mayweather might fight Pacquiao months from now? Boxing Scene top headlines has said nothing about this fight so who knows if there will really be a Mayweather vs Pacquiao rematch? Not many fans even liked the first fight between them. They are 39 and 41 now.

He'll make his profit tonight, they just wont be discussing Canelo much afterwards, they'll move on to May-Pac in a hurry Of course he will but all media are talking abt that news. Even here in Canada the newspapers announce they could rematch...

Lol crazy huh. It looks 100% staged to me. What are the odds that Floyd ans Manny were in the same club in Japan? Poor Oscar. That's all boxing medias are talking about right now lol He'll make his profit tonight, they just wont be discussing Canelo much afterwards, they'll move on to May-Pac in a hurry

No, you don't snatch momentum by making that instagram post on the day of the fight. The promotion is all done and the buys are all but complete. What he did with the McGregor fight though? Yes, he snatched the momentum there as his fight was going to be much bigger than GGG/Canelo. I'm sure he would of rather announced it a few weeks earlier to truly grab momentum but announcing the day of still shows that he's going at Oscar, snatching some of that spotlight, either way I'm sure Oscar don't like it!

Really? I don't know, but it doesn't bother me. I like when boxing gets attention, as long as it's not too negative. It's already a bigger story, every outlet is reporting it now including ESPN

I don't think it will affect buys but it going to be a bigger story than Canelo-Golovkin Really? I don't know, but it doesn't bother me. I like when boxing gets attention, as long as it's not too negative.

Personally, I think it's pretty funny that Floyd keeps doing things like this. But I don't see what's the big deal, I'm still watching GGG vs Canelo tonight, and I highly doubt this announcement is going to have any effecf on the buys I think Red Foxx is right, he's riding the momentum of a big fight to grab some of that attention that's already in boxing today. I don't think it will affect buys but it going to be a bigger story than Canelo-Golovkin

If he'd done it a few weeks ago, it would have been genius. That was probably Pac holding that up, the tax thing

you guys are confused. He's riding momentum. Not squashing it. By announcing it on an weekend in which people are talking about boxing, it gives both events more attention and is a win-win. 100% accurate!

Floyd is a straight devious genius, he announce's May-Pac 2 on the same night of Canelo-Golovkin II, completely snatching the momentum from Golden Boy promotions. ODLH got to be raging right now, somewhere in Vegas yelling **** the Mayweather's! Floyd is a clever dude If he'd done it a few weeks ago, it would have been genius.

After he beats Pacquiao, Mayweather should call out DLH lol

It's not that clever. It's a pretty basic maneuver. Also the fight is gonna do huge regardless. It's not like no one's gonna order it because they'll be too busy speculating about a rematch between Floyd and Manny. Last year's MayMac was a much bigger threat since it was booked only a month before the first GGG/Canelo match, yet it still did 1.3 million buys on PPV and the third largest boxing gate in history. Because he's upstaging Oscar's event.... again, that's what makes it clever and devious. Floyd is brilliant at getting under Oscar's skin, I look forward to hearing Oscar speak on May-Pac 2 I'm sure there will be a lot of hate.....and comedy!
