    Because SSM isn't the best fighter in the sport, Pacquiao is. Mayweather is looking to gain Pacquiao's kind of status

      I don't think so, JMM isn't established at 140 either, it wouldn't have made a difference.

          jim rome asked floyd this yesterday, and he said.....

          "i fight for checks, not bragging rights..."

          get over it. dude will continue to take the "most lucrative fights," even if they're not the most "challenging."

            In my opinion, JMM never stood a chance. People are saying 147 have decreased Marquez's chances, question, what chances? He never had one

                Wheres that picture in your avatar from? Is that kobe getting punched? I'm not a huge basketball fan since I root for philly teams and the sixers have ****** for the most part... I used to watch them when I was younger in highschool and middle school when Iverson helped get them a bit far but then they failed when it mattered most.

                  If he didnt have one..............why stack the odds even worse?

                    Mayweather has worked hard and build himself into a WW, why should he drain himself for a fight, in which he was never gonna get any credit for? Why rebuild yourself for someone who has called you out?

                      Floyd doesn't really care about legacy. It's all about maximizing his returnsand minimizing any potential risk at the same time.
