Mayweather Jr. Defends Choice of De La Hoya Over Cotto

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Floyd Mayweather Jr. and his close adviser, Leonard Ellerbe, have spoken out on the reasoning for a rematch with Oscar De La Hoya, and why a fight with WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto does not make sense. According to both men, Floyd is chasing mainstream fame and the big money. Mayweather and Ellerbe don't feel Cotto is a big enough fight to take. [details]

His licence should be revoked, he brings nothing but shame to the sport.

"No disrespect to Sugar Ray Robinson, but was he undefeated?"

Thats it Floyd, keep digging urself a hole.

My god he's ******.

If he wants mainstream success he should become a pop star.

[The Noose]

Its beyond me how anyone can be a fan of Floyd. He isnt a real fighter, he is just hoarding mountains of money.

Actually, he is a whore, selling himself to the biggest purse. A fight with Cotto is what the fans want to see, and without boxing fans Floyd wouldnt have all his money.

From a big Floyd fan I have to say.......What a disgrace!

But he's the best fighter today, he doesn't have to prove it, he just has more money than you so you have to believe it when he says he would beat them, easy money, easy work. Thats FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR DAGGUMMIT !

[Silencers]

Something about this statement just seems wrong.

[warp1432]

If Floyd is an entertainer then entertain the fans by giving us what we want. I don't think he quite realizes yet that Cotto-Mayweather would probably do over a million buys.

[Stickman]

I hope the rematch bombs in buys. I sure as hell won't watch it, neither will anyone else I know.
