Comments Thread For: Broner Wants To Fight Mayweather In Exhibition: 'Why Not Get In There And Make Nine Figures Apiece?'

[Smash]

imagine broner with 9 figures in his pocket, what a party that would be, he might even be able to pay off the biitches he gets involved with too

[pugil1st]

Floyd said he is fighting a real fight next year. What does Japan and Saudi have to do with that?

He is fighting in Vegas. He needs a opponent that makes sense and cents. Broner fits that bill


You disagree? Thats Cool. But give me names.

Honestly, I can't begin to know his thinking on that. I think he's going to stay too long and get embarrassed. However, Floyd is the common denominator with the highest grossing PPVs. Pac and Oscar couldn't do it on their own and neither can Canelo. He doesn't need Broner and never has.

[SplitSecond]

I can't stand Broner, he's the biggest waste of talent in modern boxing. I would spend money to watch Jake Paul fight before I would pay any money to see him, especially in an exhibition.

The guy comes in tremendous shape. Definitely not a waste of talent. Just not that good.

We know Floyd is the ppv king. But he did 400k ppv in his final fight against a pro boxer (berto)

So who in the boxing world can he do 1 million ppv against not named errol, bud, pacquiao or canelo?

The answer is broner. And that's even with nobody expecting broner to win. They will still do 1 million ppv. It's the only fight that makes sense if he ain't coming back for one of the top dogs at 147.

But again, give me some names you think make sense for a Floyd comeback fight. I'm open to change my mind.

But one thing for sure. I prefer Floyd vs broner over Floyd vs Mcgregor 2 any day of the week

I thought Berto was 550k?

Either way, you make a good point with a potential fight with Broner. Another option would have been Amir Khan.

I personally just hope it isn't true and he stays retired or doing exhibitions.

Just because he had a great win doesn’t mean he’s prime. Obviously he wasn’t in his prime then. Still a top fighter of course, top 5 P4P at the time, but obviously not in his prime. His prime was about 6-7 years prior.

Floyd domainted Canelo at age 36, was he in his prime?

Hopkins dominated Pavlik at 43, was he in his prime? Duran was 37 when he beat Barkley, was he in his prime?

The list goes on.

Your argument would hold weight if you had used better examples.

Floyd’s prime has never really been established. At no time did Floyd’s conditioning or skills diminish or hit a plateau.
Hopkins went on to have great wins after Pavlik.
As for Mosley, he had some big losses in his “prime” - Winky and Forrest then lost to Cotto in 2007 I think so based on that, a lot of people thought he had no shot at beating Margarito.

As you already know, in boxing, one is always one big loss away from relevancy yet Mosley beat Margarito and earned a shot at Floyd. Now, Mosley fighting PAC can be argued that he was past his prime because he had lost decisively to Floyd and struggled with Sergio Moraa.

You seem to ignore that Floyd vs Cotto, Mosley, Ortiz, Guerrero, Hatton all did over 1 million PPV.
Berto was a joke of a fight but I don’t dwell on it.

Nobody cares about Broner. Broner is a joke and Floyd fighting him would be a joke too.

Mosley was 12 years ago
ortiz was 11 years ago
Cotto was 10 years ago
Guerrero and hatton did less than 1 million

But all of that is irrelevant and you obviously don't comprehend too well. The first words of the post is we all know Floyd is the ppv king but his final fight versus a real boxer did 400k. Where is the debate on those facts?

A Mcgregor rematch is a joke fight too. Anybody Floyd comes back and fights is going to be a joke fight. So who better than broner? They actually have history.

You dont like floyd vs broner. Ok that's cool. So give me names of who he can fight in a comeback that will generate more ppv buys than a broner fight.

And dont say spence, bud, Canelo or pacquiao because we know he isn't fighting any of those guys.

I don't know, I disagree. I think he has the speed, and like you said he comes in great shape. Seems to me that he could be much more accomplished than he is if it wasn't for all the out of the ring stuff.

From the outside looking in it seems like he's naturally gifted, but never but the time in to take it to the next level.

You seem to be under the impression that if you have good wins or go on to have good wins then you are still in your prime. When that's in fact, not the case.

I used those examples because they're three obvious examples of fighters that are clearly NOT in their prime yet still put on great performances, there are a plethora of examples like this; Ali vs Foreman, Robinson vs Moyer, Leonard vs Hagler, I'd be here all day if I had to list all of them.

Shane Mosley in 2010 was no where close to his prime, he was around 6 or 7 years removed from it.

Was he still a top fighter? Yes. He was a P4P Top 10 and a world champion, #1 at WW.

Was he in his prime? No.
