  • 7 Sins Blocking Manny/Floydy

    Big roadblocks ahead:

    1. Floydy still retired. Not a peep out of him. Rumours multiply like rabbits in spring over his comeback. DUH! Problem being that re-retirements have the edge over comebacks at this point.

    2. He has no promoter and backed out of mid promotion of his last fight to retire, complaining about slave wages that he says made him a billionaire. Who would risk money and effort to have him pull another retirement?

    3. Arum. Floydy used Arum as the reason for not fighting Cotto and Marg. Nothing has changed.

    4. If he's the best of this era, has a billion bucks in the bank, and was tired with the sport, where's the incentive to come back? Is he tired of being the bestest and only billionaire boy boxer in history?

    5. Manny/Ricky is a done deal. With the money on the table and ready for deposit with two willing warriors in perfect alignment, well, promoters don't sacrifice multi millions in the bank for ethereal Floydy in the skye porky pie styled fantasies.

    6. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Floydy claims to have it, and in the middle of global financial meltdown, no way can Floydy match his previous projected 20-30 million that he already retired rather than collect.

    7. Fans: Manny has herds of them all over the world, and Floydy has them in 50 cent's designer hiphop shorts. Can Floydy endure the humiliation of being booed in his hometown of Vegas yet again?

    Maybe the fight happens, but Floydy gonna have to show he's ready to fight. Arum has mapped out a golden goose retirement program for Manny who wants to become a politician back home. It don't include Floydy and why should it? He already went through this nonsense with the Gatti fight. Nothing has changed, nor will change unless money is on the table. Problem being, now we're back to #1, money being retired, not on the table waiting to enter the ring.

    Why on earth would Floydy want to give all this up for hardships of training for slave wages????

    Reasons for Floyds comeback:

    1: Because an old circus horse misses the circus.

    2: He's still in his prime and he knows the clock is ticking.

    3: They always comeback. For every Marciano, Ottke there's 100's of Ali's, making comebacks after initial retirements.

    The issues you draw up is stones on the road. The issue is desire. If Mayweather has the desire for the glory and bright lights he'll be back.

    It might not be Pac initially but it likely will be eventually.

      It depends: Maybe Floyd is really burnt out. Hand Injuries causes him to throw less...or so some say. He is said to have back problems now. He doesn't fight the same. Mentally he has changed by his own admittance.

      He's been doing it since he was a kid and even said he was basically forced to stay in it...or in other words: My Daddy kicked the **** out of me and made me run and go to the gym every day.

      Child prodigies tend to burn out.

      He could always come back of course, but....who knows.

      He might be such a perfectionist that if he knows he is slipping, he may be done for good.

      You have to be Mentally and Physically well to fight; you have to be connected; you have to be motivated...you have to love what you are doing. Does Floyd still have it? Only Floyd knows. He hinted: NO

        This is what I'm talkin about. If he fights Pac when he refused to fight Cotto and Marg cuz of Arum he'll forever be branded a *****.

          He will be back to fight. Reason why?.........MONEY! Floyd will eventually run out of money due to his "flashy" lifestyle. He will need to come back to make some more millions so that he can support his lifestyle. Guaranteed!

            ** Sir, can you comprehende one billion dinero$,$$$,$$$,$$$.00?

            Floydy can give away 10 grand every day for the rest of his life and still have enough left over to make his kids multi millionaire heirs.

            The only question is, who comes out of retirement first, Leonard, Ali, or Floydy? Nary a peep from any of them.

              What? Is this an accurate statement? Are you his financial advisor or his accountant?

              Do you even how much it costs to maintain his 'flashy' lifestyle? How do you know Money May will not run out of money?

              You never know though, Floyd seems like a very smart fellow, with a lot of connections to go into different business ventures.

                  And why did Pac fight Oscar at 147?
                  And why isn't he fighting Cotto, Marg, and Williams?

                    why didn't floyd?

                    pacquiao is NOT a WELTERWEIGHT!!!!!

                    please try your best to understand that.

                    pacquiao is no more a 147 guy than floyd is a 154 guy.

                    it's okay for floyd to fight at 154 for oscar but then come back down to 147 but manny has to stay at 147? wtf?
