You can see the questions where I have the #1 and #2 beside them. Below them I give my own opinion but you dont have to read that. Just read the question and respond if you want.
1- Will the layoff hurt Floyd and or be a factor in the Pac fight? On alot of the different web sites and TV shows, alot of the people's main reason for picking Pac is that they think Floyd either wont be the same after the layoff or it will take more then 1 fight for him to get back to the same. Alot of them say that there is no way he can come back from that layoff and beat a guy like Pac who is blazing right now and is active. Some of them also think that Floyd is maybe too popular and has made too much money to be hungery enough to beat a young lion like Pac.
Me personaly, I disagree with the last part. If there's one thing that everyone can give Floyd, its that he trains like no other so I dont think him having the silk robes as the say, will cause him to start getting lazy or not taking things seriously. He's not that type of guy. As for the layoff, I use to never be concerned about it but so many people have said it that now Im actually starting to change my mind. Then I just remember rewatching "The Thrillia in Manilla" after Ali had that layoff and loss but that was twice as long as this. Some think Winky looked good against Williams but I thought he didnt look like the same Winky. Ofcourse Williams was horrible for him but you could still tell that he wasnt all the way Winky. He's older so that could be a factor but Floyd isnt exactly a spring chicken and will be just shy of 33 by time that fight comes around, which others on TV have also said will be a problem. I dont know, it could be bad for him coming back to fight this young speedy powerful kid after that long layoff. The good thing is atleast he's having 1 fight 1st. I use to want him to go straight to Pac but now I dont think that would be a great move so Im glad he's fighting JMM 1st which could also be dangerous after the layoff.
2- I saw an article where it was saying that Pac's team is shocked that Floyd is taking the JMM fight and they think he's a fool because they feel that the fight wont have much PPV success and that will hurt him badly when trying to negotiate with Pac. What do you guys feel about this?
Ive commented on this right when the fight was made. I said that Floyd was taking a big risk by doing this because JMM isnt a mainstream name and the fight is almost here. You dont have much time at all to sell it and do you even have time to go on a media tour? Arum use to say that you need a long time and months to sell a PPV card. Is Floyd being dumb here? The good thing is that he hyped it some by having the press conference during the Pac-Hatton night. I also think people will be interested when 24/7 hypes up the fact that JMM is the only one to give Pac hell and you know Floyd will say that he beat Pac twice. I also think alot of people will want to see how Floyd looks so they can see how he matches up with Pac. Some say that it doesnt warrant a 24/7 but I think they definatly will have it. I dont know if its true but Floyd always says that he's the original one to come up with the 24/7 ideal and the best part of that show is always the Mayweathers. You know Floyd would sell the hell out of it. I actually think that Floyd kind of agreed with Pac's team and thats why he wanted to have it on regular HBO but he loves money even more so he's willing to take the risk of having it on PPV because he wanted to get paid. He better hope that it pays off or Arum will try to **** him at the table. Still, Floyd can say something that owns Pac. He can say that he's still done more sells with JMM then Pac did, he's had more sales with Oscar then Pac did, and he had more sells with Hatton then Pac did so how can he get the most money? Thats a great argument.
