    hey 2 guns quit making excuses. if floyd had came in at 144 the same dam thing would've happend.marquez could've weighed 10 pounds more and the same dam thing would've happend. jmm is a mexican warrior but he's not in pbf's league.this does'nt make pbf a better person floyd's a better boxer.

      um you're wrong... the same thing would not have happend.....when Castillo/Corrales fought for the second time and Castillo didnt kill himself to make the weight..he KO'd Corrales..early in the fight with one shot

      you just have more power, energy and stamina when you dont have to lose those extra pounds....would Floyd still have won? SURE....he was fighting a LW for crying out loud....

      but he may have not dominate or been able to take some shots as well as he did on Sat..

        If they had held the fight in a major urban area... New York, Chicago, LA... then the live gate would have sold out easy. Floyd has more fans than you all want to admit.


        Are you saying that Floyd have more fans anywhere else other than Vegas where he lives? That makes sense...

          Now, knowingly that Mayweather is not a draw would he accept 15% / 85% split with either Pacquiao or Cotto?

            don't think so ,if floyd would have made 144 he would have been lighter
            and then it would have been more of a fight,marquez was discouraged because he would hit him and floyd wouldn't even move.its not that marquez couldn't hit him cause he did,but seeing that mayweather was that heavy he chose to just finish the fight and collect.i'm not saying floyd isn't a good fighter.it's his actions that make me not like him.

              I'm surprised it even did that much. It was easily one of the worst matches of the year. The whole thing with the weigh-ins made it a WWE type of circus.

                I think that if this fight does huge PPV numbers, it is going to give Floyd a pretty big bargaining chip. I just wish he would use it in a positive way, and not rob us of great fights.

                  Cotto vs pacman it's already sold out. You can pretty much see what the boxing fans want as a fight.
