Do you really think a man with Al Haymon's connections, status, and most importantly intelligence would ever allow himself to be strong armed? Haven't yuo read that Al haymon is close to finalizing a deal that will bring boxing back to the mainstream, and that is where all the money is.
Remember everyone is flocking to Al because they know something.
Floyd became popular because everytime the haters said he would lose he kept on winning which in turn was the driving force behind the unlimited hate. His villain persona also helped him especially against fighters like Gatti and Oscar who the general public adored tremendously.
Let's not forget about his undeniable skills and talent. The man can box, punch with both hands, fight on the inside, in a phone booth, from a distance, using offensive under Roger, and being defensive under Floyd Sr.
The fact that Mayweather always fought a guy coming off of a win also helped.
The fact that Mayweather left Bob Arum was probably the biggest reason for him blowing up. You see, most of you cats don't realize that Bob Arum hinders fighters. Oscar was with Bob, he left and blew up. Mayweather was with Bob, he left and blew up. Cotto was with Bob, he left and blew up. Do you see the pattern?
As soon as Mayweather left, He fought Oscar. As soon as Cotto left, he fought Cotto. So now, we wonder why the Pac fight isn't getting made, hmmmm, i'll let you guys think about that for a minute.
Yeah, but, he has never gone out the media and made that statement. He just says that he is his own promoter, he is his own boss, and that is why he has a different pay model and fighting PAC, who is signed with a different promoter just would not work.
Based on PBF's statement, he is a f**king hypocrite. Yes, he is his own boss, yet all his opponents for the last 3 years have been signed to a different promoter. lol GBP must be working for free then, lmao.
Mayweather says it all the time. The guys doesn't want to do business with Top rank, why is that so hard to understand. Bob apparently still owes mayeather money, bob and HBo tried to sucker mayweather into that 10 fight 20 million bull**** deal, and now he 's making anywawhere upward to about 80 million a fight, why the **** does he need to fight pac. Pac turned down 40 million would have been his biggest payday to date, he wanted to later fight for charity, come on man gtfoh with bob arum and Pac's bull****
You say guys get the lottery ticket when they fight pay but pav don't even get the lottery ticket when he fights. Pacific makes no where the money Floyd makes so if showtime is losing money well damn Floyd still gets paid while pav still doesn't. I like the way you guys talk like u know what the break even point is.
Who cares? Is she ever going to be the richest paid athlete? Probably not, so stop witht he uselss comparisons. The fact that Mayweather is doing what he does without major sponsorship is unheard of. Sponsors dictate when you sleep, what you eat and wear, how you behave, and when to jump. Congrats to Ronda for becoming someone else's *****.
people will say that GGG got old! and that the ref was on Mayweather's side. Mayweather can go up and beat a heavyweight and people will still find some dumb negative thing to say.
how would he get more money fighting pac if he pac`s fights don`t generate that much money? How much does Pac get per fight? He gets way less than mayweather but his opponents make much more, I doubt thought very much!
May vs Pac is the joke fight. Pac has been fighting c level fighters and he gets a pass, but Mayweather has been fighting champs and guys coming off wins and he gets crucified. When Mayweather busts up Pac like he did Gatti (RIP), he crybabies will say that Mayweather cherrypicked pac, and how he waited until Pac got old and all the other dumb **** you people say on here. Personally, I don't want to see the fight because I lost interest a long time ago. There are many other intriguing fights to be made, so lets encourage that, **** Mayweather and Pac, more so Pac for fighting Algerie and now he may fight Vargas. Why don't he fight Canelo, or Broner, Maidana, because Bob will never put him in there with the likes of these fighters.
I don't care for the fight anymore because When Mayweather toys with this guys called Pacman, you haters will still find fault and not give Mayweather his just do. So I don't know why he is even fighting Pacman.
Because everything Mayweather does in boxing, it has to have an equal. And we see that there is no equal at this moment to Mayweather. It took Mayweather a longtime to reach his current status, but now the boxing elite want to diminish by speaking about the next big thing compared to Mayweather Pac. You can't just make things up after a few fights, Mayweather has built it and people already would like to see it come down.
Khan has done absolutely nothing to get a fight with Floyd. He has Prescott problems, and that other English boy who beat up Porter has a belt that Khan can go get. There's Thurman, Porter, or go after Maidana, but he won't. I remember about 2 years ago a Khan fight was laughable, but now it is another weak ass fighter that is supposed to be the one to defeat Floyd. I he wants a payday like everyone else. Go fight someone else!
This is a bs fight. They freezing the black fighters out of the mix. It is clear they want nothing to do with PBC fighters.
I think Canelo beats the Charlo twins but for some reason he's avoiding them.
Go ahead and jump up to fight Kovalev when you got hitters in your own class.
Smoke and mirrors!!!!
In all due respect, Spence is in a loaded division with many very good fighters. He is calling them all out and no one wants to fight. Not Porter, not Danny G, not Thurman, not Broner, no one. What do you want the guy to do? He fought in Brook's backyard and still no one wants to fight him. How does it look that A lightweight is begging for this fight. All dem other welterweights are pus...s.
no catchweight
I hate when people keep on saying that Floyd is fighting canelo at a catchweight. He's not. Canelo can come into the ring at whatever he wants or at least he will be at around 170. Does that really sound like a catchweight? people are already trying to discredit floyd's win. People are crying about 2 lbs that canelo has to come down but I haven't heard anyone cry abouyt that 20- 25 lb disadvantage Floyd will be at fight night proving once again that Floyd is always in a no win situation.
I like the way people always say that Floyd should have fought guys like Mosley, De La hoya, ortiz, cotto, etc.. in their prime. Do you guys forget that mayweather is just as old or even older than some of these guys? We all know that mayweather is hated but let's leave out the dumb points trying to be made.
to be honest it doesn't sound like pacman has much options. He destroyed cotto, so why would we want to see that fight again? Margarito can't deal with speed and pacman is way faster than him, so why? Marquez, would have been better if they fought earlier now I don't think marquez would be as deadly. Berto, bradley, alexander, pacman will not fight cause they are black boxer who move. Pacman has only 1 viable option --mayweather.
What up?
You are probably right about Spence being too big and strong, but none of the welterweights are calling out Spence. If Mikey is serious, then go for it, he doesn't have anything to lose. If it gets brutal in there, the fight will be stopped.
Why are people still on this fight? Pac refused 40 million dollars, what deal do you think he will get now that his stock took a major dive? Mayweather wis not going to fight him unless he gets everything he wants. Pac refused 40 mil, to now wanting to fight for free. It doesn't make any sense. Him and Roach said that they don't need Mayweather, so why are they still crying for this fight. Pac had his chance, it is obvious that mayweather has moved on. It's funny that people never begged Calazaghe to fight any of the big names, but people are begging for Mayweather to fight Pac when Pac has no chance of winning. Then people will say that mayweather cherrypicked Pac, and waited for him to get old when Mayweather is the older fighter. Let's stop talking about these two fighting
everyone is saying that canelo will lose b/c mayweather cheated him out of 2 lbs. Are you guys stupid? Canelo will weigh in close to 170 lbs while mayweather will be his usual self 151 max being outweighed by at least 19 lbs and you guys have the nerve to say if mayweather wins it's cause canelo came down. Some of you guys are *******s! What if mayweather loses, can we say b/c he fought a super middleweight who should probablt being fighting in the light heavy weight division. You guys are *******s and just kill the sport with your dumb biases b/c you hate to black man maximize his profits
If you really think the PBC fighters are just hype, then what do you consider Crawford? He has fought NOBODY and you all claim that he the best, nah man. I think Crawford is a badman to be honest, but he hasn't fought anyone. If he felt as if Porter won vs Spence, then fight Porter. Ugas is there waiting for a fight, Garcia. Crawford played it safe by resigning with slave master Bob, who don;t know how to promote African American fighters, or nay fighter of color.
Bob Arum should just shut the **** up! When he and Pac were both at the negotiating table, Mayweather conceded to all of their demands, especially the 1 million per pound over nonsense. Mayweather asked for 1 thing, TESTING
