Mayweather Wants $20 Million For Pacquiao, Mosley Bouts

[The Gambler1981]

(He took the fight, signed the contract if he had so much on his mind why take on such a challenging fight. Also it was still in his best interest to win, so this argument means little to me)

Having a warrior mentality does not mean you are at your best, does it?

(Hind sight is 20/20, Floyd had more to do with the way Corrales looked in the ring then any other factor. )


(how does it prove that he was not, speculation is speculation. According to his brother Genaro never loved the sport anyways it was just a job.)

So he was in is last fight and never loved the sport. Hardly inspiring to be at your best.

(You do not need to love your job to be very good at it. Also for this to have any meaning he would have had to been sure this would be his last fight, before the fight. He took a pretty bad beating, and did not love his job, if he thought he could never beat Mayweather why go on)


(You can not use teh bigger man argument, on a man who was smaller for a vast chunk of his career. It does not make any sence.

Of course you can. People carry weight in different ways. Besides, Floyd had shown he was able to deal with a top welter, while Ricky struggled in his only other outing there.

(Floyd is not a bigger man then Hatton, he is longer and lankier. Being skilled enough to move up and win at higher weights does not make you a bigger man. It means you can fight bigger men better.)


(Was the same one, pretty much anyways. He was very motivated for the Floyd fight comming off a loss.)

This is a fair point. But he could have also been questioning himself as how he could lose to Baldo, so how could he beat Mayweather. Im not saying thats the case, just throwing it out there.

(Just going by how he looked, he knew it was a massive oppurtunity for himself. He knew Floyd well because they had sparred and were friend at one point, so I think he had a good idea about what he wanted to do against Floyd. It worked well early on, until Floyd changed things up and beat the **** out of him. Judah was very good that night but Floyd turned up great.)

I think Floyd wants 15m and said 20 so that he can get something around there

15 million plus the bigger cut of the upside would get it done I think.

Floyd doesnt want to fight.

End of story!!!

You are missing my point. Floyd won all these fights because he was the better fighter. Im showing how easy it is to manipulate any fighters resume if you choose to look at it a certain way. That can be either good or bad. Because I don't like Floyd or think he is this era's best does not make me blind to the point of how talented a fighter he was. Many think he was the best of this era, but it is easily arguable.
