Devin Haney Blames Floyd Mayweather For “Messed Up” State Of The Sport

Actually knowledgeable, older, educated fans point out how SRL and ODH did this long before Floyd did.
Its the newer and leas knowledgeable fans that think this started with Floyd.
Haney uses Floyd because his name still gets media reactions.
Is what it is.Last edited by The Big Dunn; 07-12-2023, 02:19 PM.Comment

The Baldymir fight was one of Floyd's worst. The arena was half empty before the 12th round.Last edited by djtmal; 07-12-2023, 03:09 PM.Comment

Bob said he wouldn’t make the ODH fight. Floyd wanted that fight. ODH was the better opponent, tougher, and brought more money.
Floyd did what he had to do to secure the better fight.
Yes, GBP agreed to pay him that amount for Baldomir to build for the ODH fight. Then Floyd took a bad deal for the ODH fight to make sure he got it.
Yes, he dominated Baldomir. That created more incentive for the ODH fight and got him a ww title.
What is wrong with that?

Shane told Larry Merchant he had tooth issue on TV when Merchant asked him to fight Floyd. Shane didnt fight Floyd at the time because he was very high risk, low reward. Soon as Floyd showed he could generate massive ppv sales with ODH and Hatton, Shane came forward.
Shane said after two tough fights with Vargas that he was taking a vacation. He said it before and after the rematch.
Same excuse Floyd used when Merchant asked him about Cotto, Williams, and the rest of the welterweight division after Hatton, that he was going on vacation. Only difference was Floyd's lasted 2 years long enough for the whole division to beat each other up.

Bob is on record as saying Cotto wasnt ready. That has been posted on this site many times as well.
Yes, Floyd said his hands were hurt. He said he was taking a vacation. So?
The rest of the division did what it always does- fought to determine the next challenger to the champ.
Well obviously you will not lose when youre not fighting. You also will not win.
Was Manny protecting his 7 by being off 2 years between Thurman and Ugas?

2. Thats the exact same standard you apply to Floyd when you talk about guys calling him out when he was the cash cow.
3. No name? Floyd wasnt a big revenue generator but he was a top 3 p4p boxer.
You have a very biased double standard here. If its ok for ODH to ignore call outs its ok for Floyd. You act as if Floyd has to respond to every call out.Comment

He led the interview off by saying he planned on taking a vacation, said that he would take a Floyd fight a year later.
Pull up the video. All you heard was the toothache part and every Floyd boy ran with thatComment

The video above shows the deal.
So was Manny protecting his 7 when he sat out 2 years between Thurman and Ugas?
