HBO President says: FLOYD means more to boxing Than KOBE or LEBRON to the NBA !!

Like i said last night, these new guys are not entertaining. The sport needs character and star power like guys like Mayweather bring to the sport. These new fighters will never be mega stars. They'll go down quietly.

Whos Floyd Mayweather Jr.?

[PrettyBoyRoy 88]

Floyd's mangers and family confirmed he isn't retuning to boxing, leave the guy alone. He just wants to live his life and spend time with his kids.

Floyd's manager confirmed he is not returning. Floyd's family confirmed that he is returning. His grandmother informed grand rapids press that Floyd called to say he is returning. Ellerbe is a ***bag that has said Floyd is and Foyd is not coming back like about 5 million times this year, Don't beleive what Ellerbe says.

WHY MAYWEATHER NEEDS A TUNE UP

It would help if Mayweather's comeback fight were on HBO and not on pay-per-view. In the current economy, it would translate to more eyeballs catching the fight. And it would be smart for Mayweather to take a tuneup bout rather than jump right in against one of the current welterweight champions. Even though he has been in the gym working out for weeks, he hasn't been in the ring for 15 months. The last time he took an extended leave from boxing (seven months in 2000), Mayweather returned to score a ninth-round victory against Emanuel Augustus but got off to a slow start.



Mayweather won't do himself or boxing any good by trying to come back against a killer, only to appear to be a faded has-been. He needs to work his way back; it should take only one fight to regain his dominant form. Then he can step up to a megafight more in his wheelhouse, which likely would come against Pacquiao (provided he beats Hatton) -- the man who took over his spot as pound-for-pound king.



Now, that would be reason enough to welcome Mayweather back to boxing with open arms.

This is why I said this:


the point of a tune up is not to be in a tough fight...
the point is to tune up your skills and get a easy win because your next fight is going to be for real. A tune up is basically Paid for public sparring session/

People Saying Mayweather needs to fight berto as a tune up is a joke.
People Saying Mayweather needs to fight JMM as a tune up is a joke.

Those fights are not tune ups period.

A tune up is Margarito vs. Golden Johnson
A tune up is Cotto vs. Jennings
A tune up is Cotto vs. Gomez
A tune up De la hoya vs. Forbes
A tune up is Pavlik v. Serigo Mora

A tune up is not Fighting the #2 P4P fighter in the sport.
A tune up is not fighting The WBC Welterweight Champion of the world.


I swear you guys standards for Mayweather is crazy....


His tune up should be anybody who resembles his next opponent. period.
If he is fighting a southpaw next his tune up should be a southpaw.
If he is fighting a Orthodox fighter next then his tune up should be a Orthodox fighter.

For example if Mayweather plans on Fighting Pacquaio in November or December... His Tune should not be JMM because Pacquaio and JMM are 2 completely different fighters.. a perfect tune up for pacquaio would be a fighter like Yodsanan who is Asain southpaw just like Pacquaio.


A tune up in boxing is the same thing as a scrimmage in football..but the only different is in the tune up we keep score.

The new guys, the one's that are constanly getting beat up by the old guys that "need to retire".
