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

[Oregonian]

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.

What exactly is your point by listing the time frame of the fights I listed? They all sold great PPV numbers. The Berto fight wasn’t great that why it sold what it sold. Had Floyd fought the undefeated Thurman, I think it would have done close to 800k PPV but that’s just speculation.

More important, Floyd is 45 years old, why the hell would he make a comeback against any active boxer? He is 45 years old!

It’s not like Floyd wouldn’t fight any of the guys you listed because he doesn’t want to. Floyd is 45, Canelo cannot make 154, Spence is an active boxer and perhaps the best WW out there, and PAC is retired like Floyd so what’s the point of mentioning those guys in context of suggesting Floyd will duck them?

Lastly, whatever history Broner has is diminished by him being a pathetic irrelevant guy. If it’s an exhibition, I’d rather watch Floyd vs Khan but Floyd is retired

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.

Perhaps I’m misreading your posts. When was Floyd’s prime? Floyd’s never had a bad performance or an off night neither has he showed ring rust or age so when exactly was his prime?

Youtubers would celebrate in the streets if this fight happens.

It should be an entertaining fight but Money May don't like fighting bruvas because none of them are as marketable as he is. if Floyd wants to throw AB a lifeline fine. However, it's not the way he usually conducts business.

Around 2005-2007

Floyd from as early as 2010 looked considerably slower, less sharp etc.

By 2012-2013 he was clearly visibly well beyond his best days.

2005 is when he moved up to 140 and he was 28 so he was still in his youth in the physical sense but in 2013, his technical master class performance against Canelo was as good as ever. He was sharp, quick and mobile.
Also, as much as I shít on PAC, PAC is an incredibly quick explosive fighter with perhaps faster footwork and Floyd made him look average.

The only time I’ve seen Floyd look average was when he fought McGregor but that’s because Floyd chose to change his style by being on Connor’s face all night.

Exactly why I said 2005-2007. At that point he'd been a pro for 10 a so years, was at his physical peak and also had a plethora of experience. That's a prime Mayweather.

In 2013 he was 36 years old and no where near his best. Again you can't seem to separate a great performance of a fighter who's past his prime with that meaning the fighter is in their prime.

Just because Floyd dominated Canelo doesn't mean he was in his prime. At that point he'd been a pro for 13 years, at world level for 12. He was considerably slower, especially his feet. Next to no killer instinct, very few combinations, riddled with injuries. No where close to his peak years at that point.

Exactly the same scenario as Shane Mosley in 2010.

You only have to take a single look at Mayweather in 2006 for example, or Mosley in 2001, and see that they're clearly miles better versions of themselves than the 2010 and 2013 versions.

Floyd said he is coming back for a real fight in 2023. Not an exhibition. That's the whole point of my thread. So wtf are you talking about?

Floyd ain't coming back against a top welterweight. That's why broner is the topic. All that other **** you said Is pointless. Never did i use the word duck. And if you comprehended better you would see my first post said he isn't fighting these dudes at age 45. This is why I said broner makes the most sense.

Stop being a d rider and read my post objectively. I say broner should be his comeback. Its lucrative and safe. You say khan. But he's retired.

So again. If not broner. Who? Rumors say Mcgregor rematch. I prefer Broner over Mcgregor.

This aint a mayweather diss post. This is a potential mayweather opponent post. So give me a potential opponent that's active or stfu.

Pure, unbridled desperation
He should see what Pac is up too.
