Why There Was No Demand For Floyd-Timmeh

[OnePunch]

Bradley didn’t have a big enough fan base to make it worth the risk.

it was more about the fact that whatever fan base Bradley had, well they were probably already mayweather fans. Bradley would not have added a single PPV buy that wasnt already buying it anyways. Floyd didnt really try to fight other african americans, he always looked to fight other ethnicities, to try and draw their fan bases. Since 2001, out of 26 fights, Floyd only fought 6 guys who you could consider black, or african american. Philip Ndou, Chop Chop Corley, Sharmba Mitchell, Zab Judah, Shane Mosley, and Andre Berto. Every other fight was with a fighter from another demographic.

From a business standpoint, it was pretty smart.

And what was so great about Tim exactly? His best win at WW was Marquez. Tim was a good JWW but average at best at WW.

He was more respectable than Guerrero, Madonna, Ortiz, lightweight Marquez, Berto.

It's not our fault that Floyd fought the best guys past their prime. Floyd was in control of his career after Oscar.

It's easy to say you fought this name or that name but the truth is guys you want to prop Floyd up with, they already were past their best, had already been ko'd, beat down, by more than one fighter. That's a tough pill for a lot of you Floyd fanatics to swallow and you try to circumvent reality until it is comical.

Hatton, Corrales, Canelo to a lesser extent ok those are top guys that Floyd beat in their prime why is it so hard for you to accept these guys. I tell you why because those names don't sound good enough against Shane, Cotto, and Manny.

yet you praise Manny for beating

Cotto-already ko'd and damaged by Margo

Margo-already ko'd by Shane

Shane-several losses coming off of a loss and a draw

Barrera-Had a damn metal plate in his head

Oscar-way passed prime weight drained

Morales-coming off of a lost to Raheem

Hatton-Floyd stopped him already

Thurman-3 fights in 4 years..injured

Broner hadnt won a damn fight since when??

just trying to see the difference here ..why praise Manny but slam floyd who beat a younger Manny

call it both ways damn

[The tucker]

He was with Top Rank..see how hard it was just to make the fight with Manny

This exactly. Floyd and top rank hated doing business together so why would do it with Bradley when the goal was pacquiao.

He was more respectable than Guerrero, Madonna, Ortiz, lightweight Marquez, Berto.

you make 0 damn sense..how is Tim beating an old as Jmm better then Floyd dominating the younger one?? wtf??

Say what Marquez was a lightweight 1st fight at ww when Floyd fought him and here you go pedestalizing mediocrity.

See you exaggerating.

Cotto and Hatton had only 1 loss Margarito maybe 2 that hardly constitutes they are past their prime.

And where was Floyd when all these guys were going toe to toe? On a two year vacation ducking the whole division.

After the smoke clears now all of a sudden it is easy for Floyd to make fights with Shane, Cotto and Manny when they are clearly past their best.

Thurman was undefeated, held two thirds of the belts he was the man, beat prime Porter and Garcia to get there. 42 year old Manny beats him you absolutely right he gets full credit for that.

Manny was fighting whoever they put in front of him. Floyd was cherrypicking who he was fighting and when it's a big difference.

He was more respectable than Guerrero, Madonna, Ortiz, lightweight Marquez, Berto.

He’s on that same level. Tim’s best punch was his head.

[djtmal]

He’s on that same level. Tim’s best punch was his head.

Na he was a step above and wasn't shopworn. That's a no no in Floyd land.

Floyd's best punch was the swing miss and clinch

[Amir Imam]

He was too big of a risk for too little of a reward.
Floyd just wanted easy fights man isn't it obvious

Yet Pacquiao fought more catchweight fights, fought for more vacant titles, fought more opponents coming off loses. Pacquiao never took risks like Floyd did. Thats why karma gave him 8 losses. Floyd is the superior fighter and it isn’t even close. Pacquiao needed a trilogy with Tim Bradley that’s sad
