Reality has to set in sooner or later and all his stans need to stop counting his money for him and start realizing that the man they hold in such high esteem is a coward. Mayweather acts like he grew up so hard, hangs out with rappers, has thugs as part of his entourage, but when he's called out he makes every excuse in the book not to fight. He'd rather make money fighting a guy he already beat and then has the nerve to call it smart business, hate to say it but isn't that what whores do.... chase money? When did boxing become wall street? I thought the idea of boxing was the best were supposed to fight the best?

Boxing has always been business-like.

Fighters have always chased money.

They don't get their heads bashed in for their health and to not make their lives/family's lives better.

I can agree with making money. I never had a problem with that. However you can't run around screaming P4P #1, Creme de la Creme if your not willing to defend your position and you certainly don't compare yourself to Robinson when you haven't fought the best possible opposition out there.

IMO, FMJ is the p4p best right now. if he doesn't fight the winner of cotto/am regardless of how either of them wins the fight, he's just a chicken **** wanna be.

Well I hardly take anything Floyd says seriously and I don't see why others do. But people seem to want to pick and choose what to take seriously regarding him.

I'm talking about how people act like boxing being business-like is something new. It's not. Fighters have always been avoided and there's always been cases of guys going after the bigger paydays instead of more qualified opponents. Even with the consensus greatest ever in Ray Robinson. Business decisions and money are why Larry Holmes was stripped of his WBC belt, because he could make more money elsewhere, and not under the promoter he was with for years and hated (sound familiar?).

Furthermore, why are people acting like if Mayweather did want to fight Cotto right now, that we'd definitely get it? De La Hoya and Schaefer have said they would like a Cotto-DLH match, and it's the biggest money fight for DLH other than PBF, so I doubt that's just talk about wanting to fight him.

Do people actually think Arum would rather have Cotto fight Mayweather than De La Hoya?
