to the people who wonder: "why didnt Mayweather fight pacquiao or cotto for more $$$"

[MindBat]

Of course the money is different and it will also be different for Pac now fighting Cotto , it should be crystal why Floyd would want a tune up before taking on the very biggest fights , what bothers me is the double standard in the legitimacy given to a Pac fight and then total about turn that portrays JMM is a waste of time and no show , it dont make sense to me , I see JMM as a smart fight by Floyd and see it as a stepping stone to Pac and a very big one because of the history between Pac and JMM , I think the whole deal is a long term plan for a superfight of mega proportions based on Pac and Floyd winning , these fights are just the precursors .

Well said.

Lol..

Why JMM tho?..why not Collazo, Berto, or even Mosley?..

a he'd make $$ or $$$ with either one..cuz we ALL know..Floyd Mayweather is a HUGE DRAW..he ain't gotta worry about sales..right?..

Neither Collazo nor Berto have a big enough name for HBO to accept as a ppv fight and what elite level fighter would be ****** enough to fight Mosley coming off a year and a half layoff?

Bottom line is Floyd only wanted to get paid double digit mils yet fight a not so hard opponent. If he wasn't so greedy, he could've fought Collazo or Berto on regular HBO for some good money.

**** the money how bout floyd fights manny or cotto cause they are more competitive fights for him

For how much money floyd claims to have he makes way to big of a deal out of how much he makes for each fight

some of you arent really smart business men.

FACT: in about a month, floyd is already set to cash in on millions of dollars. not just from the guaranteed purse but like he said, hes his own boss, and besides the fact that he doesent have to share his purse with a promoter that handles him, his promotional firm will bank in on the fight too.

FACT:next month floyd will be millions of dollars richer, and will then have the option of making that decision you all think he should have made of fighting pacquiao to stuff even more millions into his pocket. or do the same fighting mosley or cotto, who ever he fights he will make millions. doing all of this while enjoying the millions he got from the marquez fight, and expecting more to come in from a his next fight.

so question for all of you, why would he pass on the millions that he will have on by the end of the night on sept 19? if he had fought pac, mosley or cotto, he would have been missing those 15+ million he is going to make in a month, so why not add to the other purses?

sharpen up people.

who cares... I just wanna see floyd fight good competitive fights.
