Mayweather vs. Cotto Just Doesn't Make Sense

[Vladimir303]

Floyd isnt doing anything to bring Boxing to the mainstream, he's doing everything to bring Floyd Mayweather to the mainstream. Nothing he is doing right now is going to convince people to invest their money in watching other fighters other than Floyd. Especially after Baldomir and DLH. both were considered to be let downs by the casual public. Hatton was decent.

the only business Floyd is growing is his own. He said it himself. "I dont love Boxing". So why keep lying like he's trying to be the jesus christ of boxing?

That's true....Floyd is doing things for his own selfish reasons.


With that said, I don't blame him. Alot of fans get their panties in the twist over Mayweather's choices in and outside the ring. He is hot right now and just trying to pocket in as much as coin as he can the easiest way possible while the flame is still burning. Some Floyd critics say "why do you care how much money Floyd makes". I don't, I just understand that us fans have a job that we get paid for and boxing is just a hobby/entertainment to us. And boxing is a fighters job. They get no pensions after they retire. So it's understandable why they don't have the same mentality towards boxing as US the fans do.

To quote Jake LaMotta:

"I recently asked LaMotta what he thought of Mayweather. (Robinson died in 1989.) He said: “I fought 13 years, 106 fights, and I made $750,000, total. Fighting all the time keeps you strong, makes you able to take a shot better, but I would have fought less if I made more money.” He added that he would have wrestled, danced, whatever, if anybody had asked him to and paid him for it

No, he wouldn't, it would be his dream come true.

He can declare Cotto a bum who was never worthy anyway, and say Margarito still isn't a big enough draw and that way he gets out of fighting either of them.

Mayweather makes me sick.

you last sentence says it all..........if it were up to you, you'd probably get a tatto of "floyd makes me sick"..............lol.....snicker............you must be bob arum's son........
