    Mayweather's postponement-on purpose?

    I think Mayweather may have postponed this fight deliberately. Why? Because September is the month where the fights sell. More so than July. Am I wrong? Several of this decade's greatest fights happened in September, Hopkins-Trinidad, Mosley-Delahoya 2, Hopkins-Delahoya...everybody knows that a lot of people are busy with other things in July and aren't very interested in watching boxing. But when September comes it's another story.

    So Floyd was thinking of money, as always.

    Maybe he was injured happens to professional athletes all the time , Roach was talking about Floyd and the injuries he carries from a life of extreme training , but yeah the conspiracy theories are better gossip .

      No way could Floyd be injured in a sport where people die.

        Its no coincidence that it's during Mexican Independence Day.

          Of course it was intentional. They didn't get the sales they wanted, so they postponed to Mexican Independence day. Not really a question if you ask me, just clever, deceitful business move.

                Colombo.........lol All we know is he got injured, Dont know why people give Mayweather too much credit when it comes to stuff like this, Maybe JMM actually wants it postpone to mexican day??? Maybe GBP wanted on mexican day??? Or maybe HBO wanted it on mexican day but noooooooooo its Mayweather that would/can postpone the fight all on his own.

                    It was on purpose and the fight still isn't selling well! They want too much for the ticket prices, when its competing against a fight like Cotto/Pac that happens in what like November? People rather go to a more entertaining fight then a chess match.
