Team Mayweather: "Cotto Not Important"

[NAPO]

You are forgetting that was in response to a point made by someone.

Look mate
If you had 3 options
1 You make $1mi
2You can make $0.9m
3maybe $0.5m

Which fight would you take?
You would go for the $1m and the $0.9 and wait who knows the $0.5 now could grow into another $1 next year.At the moment the $0.5 is not worth it.
Thats what Floyd is saying,numbers dont lie.These guys have done a net present value calculation and seen what Cotto is worth.

Everyone knows about the Product Life Cycle,Cotto needs to be developed further.noone ever question Cotto's boxing ability.What is questionable is the money that can be made.

u just don't see it right??? u don't really know who miguel cotto is right now?

is ok man keep believing urself that i won't argue anymore because is ur opinion...but ur going to realize the truth and u won't have any excuse..floyd is not ending up in a good way by the end of his career with money of course he would have money...with legacy............................................ .................................................. .................................................. ..............................

maybe in a year from now u will used an excuse like this.

"mayweather is too old to fight a guy like cotto,he doesn't have in him no more"


this place will turn into a mayhem just because a guy that u guys defend is destroying his career because its 'business" knowing that the money would always be there and for the sake of floyd and floyd fans make the fight happen by the end of 08.

Things like that happen.A fighter is as good as his last fight.It can be possible Floyd might not be what he is now and if they dont fight thats something else.

Dont forget however that Cotto had a chance to fight Floyd when they were at 14o but he said he wasnt ready.Cotto had a chance to fight Kosta Tsyu if he wanted,Sharmba Mitchell,Junior Witter.All these apart from Witter (whom he gave 2 weeks notice) were there,You know even Ricky hatton travelled to see Cotto in action and there was deafening silence from Cotto's camp.Surely if it was all about Legacy then Cotto would have cleaned up the division but no,its not.Even Arum knew whach fights to avoid for his product to have a long shelf life.

These Floyd nuthuggers crack me up. They sit here defending Mayweather for not fighting the best but for going where the money is and for being a "smart business man". The true boxing fan values a fighter facing the best competition out there not a guy who'd rather make money by fighting an old guy and a midget. Seriously *****s what fight would be better and more significant to the boxing world: Mayweather fighting people he already beat and will beat again or the biggest threat out there. I say again the true boxing fan values a fighter facing the best competition out there not a guy who'd rather make money. Do not call yourselves boxing fans if you're defending his actions. Call yourself *****s and in doing so me and a ton of other REAL BOXING FANS won't have any problems with you guys any more...

PS Props to whoever came up with *****s.

Sorry guys I'll stop now. Seeing as how rational thought isn't enough to dissuade these *****s just thought I'd fight irrational arguments and nuthugging with really large, bold, font size. And underlined.

Man I have great respect for you and your opinion.I can see the frustration.I was only trying to present things from a different opinion.

nICE POST.


BUT THE FACT IS THAT FLOYD WON'T FIGHT COTTO TILL THE MONEY RAISES TO A HIGHER PLANE AND THE REGULAR NON BOXING FAN ON THE STREET KNOWS WHO COTTO IS.

POINT BLANK PERIOD... COTTO IS NOT THERE YET.

Floyd bad for the sport of boxing.

If you call your self the best fight the best. Its as simple as that. Fighting hand picked opponents instead of fighting the best is bad for the sport of boxing. Floyd is bad for the sport of boxing. An insult to the true legends of the sport.

sourse please get me a source.....cotto not fighting the best at 140??? please get me a source.that's a lie and plus cotto's career at 140 was pretty good.

mausa(trash but former champion after cotto destroyed him)
torres(current champion after cotto messed him up)
malinaggi(current champion after cotto destroyed him)

corley,branco,pinto.

4 of those were undefeated when cotto faced them.so nothing bad could be talk about cotto in 140.

NOW I can see the points in that.

Usually an undefeated would want to fight another undefetaed and stay uncontested...

But floyd loves money more than that..

Even changed his name to that.

So close but no cigar.. well actually ya got the cigar but floyd won't let ya smoke it.

trust me bro i am not frustrated because i know cotto could get his legacy by fighting other fighters COTTO DOES NOT NEED MAYWEATHER remember that DOES NOT NEED HIM why?? because cotto has alot more options but guess what? floyd does not have many options.

No one ever called Muhammad Ali a coward.

No one ever called Muhammad Ali a coward. Thats part of Floyd's Legacy.
