Saul Alvarez is a Welterweight

[Alibata]

Floyd does not like facing elite fighters in his weight class. I was neutral about Floyd but this revelation about Alvarez has me tilting towards being a hater.

[DrewWoodside]

I don't know what you're talking about Jr. Read the line where it says "I'm not too happy about this neither".



Just want to know what exactly has the fans angry this time since he is a WW.

This is definitely not a good press release to defend. Best bet is that it doesn't get mentioned again for a while. To be fair, as audacious as Mayweather is, even wouldn't take this fight. I don't believe it for a second. However, the fact that the name was mentioned is still an embarassement.

I don't care if he's at Welterweight or Yourmommaweight, Floyd should be fighting Mosley or the Cotto-Pac winner. End of story.

Arum is talking the fight down and truly believes that Pacquiao can do more money fighting someone other than Floyd. this is a business move to show Arum that Mayweather can make money elsewhere, to make him think twice about what he's saying.


^Most likely.

hahahahaha!!!

I took out "in their prime" from the quote because neither Alvarez nor Marquez are in their prime. Mayweather has to fight Michael Katsidis next so he has not only fought a world class fighter and a welterweight but also an opponent in his prime.

Of course I'd prefer him to fight just one opponent who is all of the above.

Everyone is nitpicking the thread.

Alright, so the Dodgers are gonna beat the Phillies in 6.

Yanks are gonna take the Angels out in 7.

Yankees are gonna beat the Dodgers in 5. True Story.

There's no problem with the Latin channels, they produce some good fights. Solo Boxeo was raw.

Why is he representing latin channels anyways, he looks mixed theirs no way he is full mexican blood with red hair... I don't think thats possible. Plus, can't they do latin channels and espn combined?

Money with Alvarez? LMAO jajajajaja


The **** this *****s try to defend is ridiculous!!!

[El Jaguar]

He fights on **** channels, I mean this is the guy Floyd wants to fight? Someone who doesn't even fight on the normal fight channels like espn? Thats ashame, because he probably is talented but if we can't see him fight on tv and only live-streams then thats ****!

Well the so-called **** channel Televisa like you said.

Has made him a star in Mexico, Millions and Millions of Mexicans watch his fights on Televisa, one of the Most Powerful TV Stations on all of Latin America.

Even Anna Kournikova is sold on the Kid thanks to Televisa
