Considering they had CBS air fight camp 360 after 60 minutes should tell you the money that was put into this fight wasn't worth it. He needs to fight Mayweather and stop fighting washed up bums.
How in any way, can you tell me that someone who fought extremely scared early in the fight, complaining to the referee every time Froch would get close, was barley throwing any punches, (and didn't start landing anything significant until after Froch was hurt) beat someone who was trying to press the fight and make it exciting? I give Direll credit for putting up a fight late and coming to Dirrell's home town, though IMO he lost.
This isn't a hate thread, and i think Andre will become a better fighter after this, but he was clearly out worked.
Froch didn't land anything on the front of dirrell's head. All behind the head, and no points were taken from him. Dirrell out boxed him early, then pounded him to death for the last 3 rounds. Froch got a home town decision bottom line. Froch proved he isn't shit, and Dirrell is the real deal.
Exposed
Cotto has been exposed already, that's the only reason Pac is fighting him. Why is he fighting the least threatening champ? We all know Cotto is the juiciest cherry in the WW division.
You are wrong because the fight wont happen. I would not be upset if Manny chose to fight Shane Mosley or a third fight with JMM instead of fighting Fraud. I wouldnt be upset if Cotto rematches with Shane, Margarito, or even Clottey instead of getting in the ring with PussyBoy. Floyd fans want to see a fight with Manny because it will generate money, none of which they will spend, not because it is competitive. THATS the shame in all of this.
Real boxing fans want to see Mayweather vs Pac because it's good for boxing. Just let it be known, if the fight doesn't happen it's not because Floyd is a fraud, gay, scared, or what ever else you want to call him, it's because your boy Pac is scared of eating right hand leads all night.
Floyd Sr sucks as a trainer, sucks as a father, and sucks as a person. Any reason he has to still be living?
Wow the nut huggers took it to a whole new level, lol. Pacquiao does kinda have that Jason Giambi look to his face in the past couple of years.
Look, everyone knew that Pac's people didn't want none of Floyd. They can talk all the sh** they want, but they don't fight guys like him, or me for that matter. Only way you get a Pac fight these days is if you have no movement and stand there like a dead man. If you can box and move a little bit, you can forget it. You ain't getting the fight. But it is what it is. I mean, who leaves $40 million on the ground instead of taking a few tests? Click Here To Read More]
I concur with this statement
WHAT A BITCH MOVE THIS IS.. FLOYD has a chance to be one of the GREATEST with 50-50 split?? Every GREAT FIGHTER takes down the TOP DAWGS in his era.. it doesn't make sense to throw away that OPPORTUNITY when the split is 50-50 deal !! ...
Floyd said he doesn't fight for legacy, but Manny does, so he should take the monetary hit for his legacy he cares soooo much about. Why should Floyd when he consistently outsells him, and is already earning Pac's biggest possible payday against other fighters.
I thought this claim about Mosley complaining about a bad tooth was before Floyd's fight with De La Hoya. Am I missing something here? And I never saw or heard Mayweather express any interest in fighting Mosley after he scored that jackpot against De La Hoya. The dude went totally Hollywood.
Nope the bad tooth was after that fight, when the only fight he could get was the DLH rematch. Cotto was there, but he wasn't trying to call him out, he was waiting for Cotto to call on him since he was #1 P4P, and the fight wasn't worth enough to deal with Arum. Mosely said he should fight Margarito a #4 or #5 WW at the time and had no clout besides hardcore Mexican fans......here's a link for you to read more info on it.

O love how people say that since hes the favprite he shpuldnt get credit. Dumb-Dumbs.
That means he's the best, if he's the favorite against the so called best, it means Money is really the best. Who would he be an underdog against unless he goes up 2 weight classes.
Isn't this the same guy who said he wanted to have 5 or 10 more fights before he fought Mayweather in 2019 or something. Now Mayweather has been ducking him for years, I wonder who wrote this article, probably some Pactard.
:rofl: I was as well... My voice went hoarse yelling with my cousins after the fight.. we had a ball. mayweather is the man:boxing:
vic had no answers. it was gonna be a ko anyway by around the 8-10th rd maybe sooner.
I think Ortiz chose not to get up. I've seen him hit with harder shots than that and pop right back up. He was getting beat to the punch and he had no answer, that head butt and not getting up was very Mike Tyson esque.
Wasn't Pacquiao the P4P king when he fought DLH? DLH had proved to be the "PPV King" just like Mayweather resoundingly proven to be. Mayweather deserves 60% Manny did the same thing when DLH asked for 70%, he always asking for 10% more than he deserves.
i'll go all in with you that mayflower/marquez sells less than pac/hatton
Pac has a lot of fans, but only a certain number of them buy ppv. As much as you wanna take Arum's word for gold because you like his fighters and he bashes Mayweather when ever he gets a chance, you have to realize he is a lying scum bag. He's still upset he didn't get to cash in on Mayweather when he blew up. Why would mayweather turn down money only when it came to only Arum's fighters? I know the consensius among haters is that he's scared, but unbiased people know the truth.
There's your great champion. Won't fight at 147, still wants the wbo belt, wants the biggest ring available to he can punch and run, and when he gets kod, he's gonna say that he's too small for above 140. This coward can fight odlh at 147, but not cotto? Hum, I smell fear from this fool! Cotto win KO in 10th
This sucks, Pac will run, and if Cotto can't hurt Pac by the 8th he will run out the clock. Funny how they accuse Mayweather of this, but at least Mayweather is punches if he backs up. If you look at the championship rounds of Cotto vs Clottey, Cotto looked like Usain Bolt.
Yes he is and he better be VERY careful. If floyd makes a KHan fight he will lose some of the upper hand if the fight doesn't sell well. If he makes it and loses he will squander all of his leverage. Boy, that would sure be something.
Floyd/Al need to realize they won that battle and now its time to try and get the fight made. Manny/Bob need to accept the decisions made backfired and he needs to take what is offered and fight.
They can still make the Khan fight, it doesn't matter. Pac sold 400k in ppv and immediately afterwards Arum started talking about Floyd's people and how they need to contact him even though they knew Floyd is fighting in May and Pac in April, in the same interview when asked for potential opponents he only mentioned Marquez and Bradley implying Floyd was never even really a potential opponent, in other words trying to use Floyd to promote the next Pac fight.
Bob Arum has had a hard on for Mayweather since he left top rank. Arum refuses to release the numbers from Hatton/Pac because it did worse than Mayweather/Pac. If Mayweather/Marquez does well, which it will most likely, how can he say Mayweather doesn't even deserve 50/50 split. Mayweather/DLH outsold Pac/DLH by 1 mill ppv sales recession or not, DLH was the main draw, but the Mayweather show aka 24/7 I think had a lot to do with it. HBO gave Mayweather 15 mill for the rights to Mayweather/Marquez fight. Pac has more fans and is great to watch, but Mayweather is making more money than him.......
That’s the problem of Gayweather he think:Thinkingo he is God, he always carry in his mind a racist thought. He believes because he is black people treat him bad, that is not the real true. There are many black good boxers out there that a lot of people like them:boxing:, but Gayweather has to live with this because he is a piece of shit that believe deserve everything because has a lot of money. He believes everyone is under him. Let me tell you something Gayweather you fight Mosley you will get a KO, you fight Pacquiao you will get a KO and you fight Cotto and you will piss in your panties before you get a vicious KO:bukkake:. There are many boxers in a welter division which can beat you up very easy, but you have to choose a light weight to get fat and slower to challenge you. You are just a piece a chicken bitch:loser:.
Until someone proves him wrong, how is he wrong to think other fighters are not as good as him. I mean he's favored in every fight. If he were matched up with Cotto or Pac he would be the favorite. So he should act as if he's afraid of other fighters, get outta here.
without the undefeated record and p4p title mayweather wouldnt get any big fights because he is so boring and a coward. even when dlh is washed up and hatton is past his prime they can still put the asses in the seats because the fans will always pay for the excitement a true warrior brings to every fight. its just plain and basic common sense.
This is one of the stupidest comments i've read in this forum.....so basically what you're saying is, if Mayweather wasn't so good he would be in the biggest fights? And what about the Pac wins against those 2? What did their careers re-incline just before Pac fought them?
Recently KOd.
Rios was the opponent.
Over seas.
No publicity.
Glorified ass whooping. Was never meant to be a PPV success.
Oh, so it was Top Rank's fault? Or HBO? I saw 24/7, I saw the same billboard I always see in Times Square, I saw commercials. I guess this is why TR and Pac are demanding the Mayweather/Pac be made "for the fans", producing horrible ppv numbers means small ppv cut for Pac, which he will refuse.
almost every one called you out so....:boxing:
Back it up, show some clips of people on tv after a fight calling him out.......Mayweather has put the blueprint out there, yet no one calls him out after a win. I KNOW Cotto is shook, and Pac's team is so shook, they write a script for him after a fight......Mosely only wanted Mayweather because he has absolutely no one else.
Mosley & Fraud jr both ducked each other at certain points in their career.
Only problem is like i stated before, shane has a better track record of fighting tough opposition than Fraud jr.
U can forgive shane for wanting to pursue a mega match vs a smaller opponent but not Fraud jr.
Mosleys resume & roster of opponents fought is a lot more formidable than Fraud jr's.
How do you figure? Is it because Shane lost? It can't be that he's fought in more divisions or won more championships.....Mayweather called out the best in every division he's fought in, and got ducked a lot. He took on the best fighters he could, not only beat them but destroyed them everytime. Mayweather's career is far superior to Mosely's.
Numerous sources coming out of Indonesia have advised BoxingScene.com that WBA featherweight champion Chris John is unable to move forward with his June 27 rematch with Rocky Juarez. The fight, set for the Staples Center in California, was the HBO televised co-feature to Victor Ortiz-Marcos Maidana. details]
Must be ticket sales.......
"pac obviously, shane mosley, and POTENTIALLY cotto"
Notice the POTENITIALLY next to Cotto's name. People are really starting to wonder if he'll make it past Clottey. I bet $50 on Clottey through bodog, it's gonna be a bad year for Cotto and Top Rank, just a feeling.
God Floyd just has zero class doesn't he? Thinks everyone can be bought off, just name your price. Shows no respect to JMM here at all.
If he didn't do that then you haters would say he is scared of Pac, now we'll see who is gonna dodge who.
Yea but he had the balls to get in the ring with true champs just like all the the PR boxers something u & floyd know shit about true heart win or lose & that's what men & champs r all about not looking for easy pay days
LOL, that is hilarious. Trinidad has always been trash, Cotto is the #1 vacant championship fighter in the world. What kind of balls does it take to duck Williams challenge, then fight Michael Jennings for the vacant championship Williams gives up because he couldn't get a fight with Cotto......
