        Not really, Because all Floyd is doing is what De La Hoya, Roy Jones, SRL, and all the greats did...

        Floyd follow the success plan to Boxing


        1) Fight the easy fights. Burgers, chumps, etc... For experience and to build your record. (No disrespect to burgers and chumps).

        2) Fight other good prospects (undefeated, 1's and 2's, etc...) to separate yourself from the rest, make a name for yourself.

        3) Enter Club Elite. Picking and choosing, fighting the fights that mean something to your legacy and your bank account!

        Now think of any Great Fighter and you tell me who didn’t follow this Process to Success...

          yes, of course it's a smart business move, and i believe most guys would not turn down the huge payday.

          it still does not mean that as fans, it sucks.

            *Anybody can tell you as a fan I want Floyd and Cotto to fight….
            However, my thinking is not of a 100% fan
            I am 50% fan and a 50% Realist and I think as such....
            In addition, because of that I would fight Oscar again too if I was Floyd.
            And also fight Cotto too if I was Floyd, but the Oscar fight would have priority over the cotto Fight for obvious reason

            Some People would say: “r u going to tell me that mayweather-dlh 2 is more meaningful in the world of boxing than mayweather-cotto”


            No i am not going to tell you that, but I will tell you that every boxer in the world put himself or herself before the sport of boxing....
            Now you tell me who does not do that, and I will show you a liar...



            My Argument for Common Sense:


            Most you people on here are Plain and Simple in your thinking... Who don’t think outside the box... That is why probably some of you guys and you guys favorite boxers are in bad shape in your and their life...Because yall got too many Squares in your Circle



            When you think of Successful People in this world like Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Michael Jordan, Oscar De La Hoya they all have one thing in common

            They all transcended what they did.... Outside what they did by following a Simple Rule that they teach you in any Beginners Business Class

            *Business 101
            Maximized your Profit with the less amount of Risk Necessary and most publicity...

            However, some you guys do not think like that, you guys think with your Ass, and not with your Head...


            [Mayweather is breaking the mold...Cant you see that..[
            This dude is laying out a format in which you see Boxers are going to start following...

            TAKING CONTROL OF THIER own CAREER... and not being somebody’s investment like a horse

            Example:
            Margarito did this in order to fight Paul Williams


            You have to understand man, this is people lives:


            -Boxing is not a sport for them as it is for you and me-
            -Boxing is their JOB...- This is really, what feel their families

            This is why I can really appreciate what he is doing because I would do the same thing if I were him and boxing was my JOB...

            That is why I follow this rule of business of Maximized your Profit with the less amount of Risk Necessary and most publicity.
            Everyday when I invest my time and money in anything I do... Because I want to be like Ball Gates, Oscar De La hoya, and yes Floyd Mayweather.... Because they all are recognized as the best as what they do, and transcended what they do and are RICH DOING IT...



            *To understand boxing (the business), you have to understand the game!

            There are three stages to any good boxer's career.

            1) Fight the easy fights. Burgers, chumps, etc... For experience and to build your record. (No disrespect to burgers and chumps).

            2) Fight other good prospects (undefeated, 1's and 2's, etc...) to separate yourself from the rest, make a name for yourself.

            3) Enter Club Elite. Picking and choosing, fighting the fights that mean something to your legacy and your bank account!

            Now think of any Great Fighter and you tell me who didn’t follow this Process to Success...



            Put this now in Perspective:


            Oscar only has this year Left before he is not a draw no more

            Now if you was Floyd would you fight Oscar while he is still Viable for 50 Million right now

            Or

            On the other hand, you can fight Cotto anytime for 20 Million while cotto is still young....

            Cotto is only 27 he is not going nowhere
            However, Oscar is going somewhere and that somewhere is gone after 2008 Oscar is threw....


            Therefore, you would turn down a short time offer of 50 million Dollars

            For an Anytime Offer of 20 million Dollars..??


            Some of You acting like Floyd is 40 years old and this is his last fight before he really retires...he is only 30 years old...

            In addition, he has a chance to be a big star like Oscar...
            With another 50 million dollar fight with Oscar
            Moreover, follow up with
            A 20 million fight with Cotto

            Tell me that is not smart...

            I would do it and im sure, you would too...

            Oscar only has this year Left before he is not a draw no more
            Cotto still has 5 years left....



            If you are Floyd and you are trying to build up a promotional company, record label, keep founding your many foundations...and numerous other business options such as a "Casino" (which he said he wanted to do)

            WHY WOULD YOU TURN DOWN 50 million to fight Oscar when you need this money in order to fulfill all your DREAMS...?

            YOU would be a fool not to fight Oscar again...
            Horus, Floyd could fight Bruseles, a shot Castillo, Baldomir, and Zab Judah again, and you would somehow argue that its the best choice for Floyd because they all make more buys that Cotto, and that he should go after the money and not fight Cotto, as if you got money from spending hours a day arguing about Floyd. God you are more annoying than Dios.

              Floyd should fight Mike Tyson. Now THAT would be a good business move, if all that really matters is the $$$ and the popularity boost. hahaha.

              and to be honest, I would be more interested in that ridiculolus matchup than watching De La Hoya vs. Floyd again. I didnt even think Oscar vs. Floyd was that bad, in fact, I enjoyed it. but Ive already seen it, I dont feel like seeing it again...a rematch is worthless to me.

                  Technically...........you're right.

                  Because Tyson being active means he's still boxing's biggest draw. Hands down. Oscar would definitely be second to him.

                      people seriously underestimate cotto's ability to draw a crowd. and besides hbo, as well as mainstream media can hype up ANY fight they want to, so they would have no problem selling the #1 welter vs. the #2.

                      this fight (mayweather v. cotto) would do such big numbers, i just don't get it.

                      and i don't buy into that "floyd is scared of cotto" **** or "floyd hates arum" **** or "arum knows cotto will lose" bull****. i really honestly think mayweather's camp is just underestimating cotto's draw.
