Mayweather vs Alvarez in Mexico? Schaefer Says Maybe

[Libido Sanchez]

The article says "maybe in a few years" and that Alvarez is a "dark horse." Dark Horse = Long shot.

I agree with people that this is a way to get Alvarez publicity basically for free. (The gate for 100,000 fans would be ridiculous though... hell, even half of that would be crazy.)

The thing is, doesn't it say a lot about Mayweather and how he carries himself that some people actually believe he would take this fight next year? If Mayweather fought the best elite welters this story would most likely be dismissed by the majority of fans on here, IMO.

***ing wake up idiot , as if Floyd is gunna fight this fella , geeezus you ***ers are nothing but sheep .

The only reason people believe this is because of PBF's past pattern. If he didnt do things like this before nobody would even care. Bruseles anyone?
Add to this the fact that if it actually took place in Mexico the ticket gate money would be astronomical (Money is all he cares about) then one starts to think, my God this could happen.

We know the main players to land Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2010. The list includes Manny Pacquiao, Miguel Cotto and Shane Mosley. During a recent interview with Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, he advised BoxingScene.com's Bill Emes that undefeated welterweight prospect Saul Alvarez (29-0, 22KOs) of Mexico is a dark horse to land a potential fight with Mayweather in 2010.

The fight was named as a possibility (yes long shot) for next year. The "maybe in a few year" comment was written by the writer, referring to when he thought Alvarez might actually be ready for a fight with Floyd. But you're right, people are getting pretty worked up over a long shot.

No way mate , the only people entertaining this is the haters , the fans know Floyd is too big for these type of fights today , why dont you guys have a go at Hopkins his fight with a nobody is real , funny how a bull**** rumour concerning Floyd gets more attention than a fighter like Bhop really fighting a nobody , the double standards are amazing .

You mean 45 year old Hopkins? Amazing how people could hold Floyd to a different standard.

Alvarez is no joke. I've seen him ko guys left and right. It would be interesting to say the least and for all you who dont know who he is, look him up, a few years ago you didn't know who edwin valero was and other boxers so don't hate if you havent even seen him box.

Yeah amazing HOF fighter Bernard Hopkins fighting a total nobody for real , and a ***ing bull**** rumour about Floyd that has no chance gets all the criticism , double standards all right the haters are ***in full of them .
