[George W Bush]

You mean Floyd Mayweather World Tour was just a bluff?

Translation Part II:

This second part is a tough one to translate.

Q: Floyd, how about Miguel Cotto, there's a big possibility that he would win his fight with Manny Pacquiao, would you consider fighting him next?

A: Floyd: Ha-ha-ha! C'mon now girl, you almost made me wet my pants, for several reasons. First of all, Miguel is a good fighter, he's a real Welterweight, and more importantly, i'm just too much of a *****. So add those three together, there's just no way in hell i'm stepping in the ring with that man. I might actually even consider fighting Manny first before i even consider Cotto.

Q: So who else is there for you to fight, especially in the Welterweight division?

A: Floyd: Well there's plenty of fighters out there to fight. Anybody that's under 135lbs and is only 5'7 or shorter and is willing to go up to a minimum of 144lbs no less, i'm fighthing them. As long as i don't have to go below 146lbs and i'm not paying no fees this time, bring it and see who's The P4P King.

[pac oww]

this could happen.

If Pac wins againts Cotto it will definately be a 60 40 in favour of Pac. What has Floyd done if he thinks he deserves more than Pacquito.

Let me sum it up for you! 2.2 million PPV against De La Hoya vs. 1.2 for Pac/De La Hoya; 875,000 PPV against Hatton vs 825,000 for Pac/Hatton; 1 million PPV against Marquez vs 400,000 for Pac/Marquez. That is why Floyd deserves more. Also, Floyd will make $15 million in his next fight regardless of who he fights. Pac can play hardball against Floyd and fight Marquez or Timothy Bradley in his next fight for a 60/40 split and make $4 million instead of the $15 he would get against Mayweather in a 60/40 split in favor of Mayweather.

Please spare us the pompous bull***t.

He can't help it. Every time he opens his mouth, nothing but bull**** comes out!

[big_james10]

Please spare us the pompous bull***t.

Add the fact that Pac has a lot more options than Gayweather and is willing to take more riskts

Personally Id rather have Pac fight Mosley at a catchweight coz its gonna be a war.

Gayweather is practically begging Pac for a payday.

You are right. Pac has a lot more options. He can fight Bradley or one of the top contenders at 140 or he can fight Mosley, a third fight against Marquez or a rematch against Cotto. He can fight any of them and make $3 to $5 million. Mayweather's only options are one of the top guys at welterwight, for whom he will get paid a minimum of $10 million.

You are also right about another thing. Mayweather is begging Pac for a payday! Even though he made a guaranteed $10 against Marquez and will make $15 million in his next fight against whoever he chooses to fight, he desperately needs Pacquaio to give him a payday!

there's no point in floyd fighting an inferior fighter like pacquiao. pacquiao would not only need a few more fights to prove himself, but way more years of experience to at least become a respectable and deserving opponent.

manny pacquio hasn't proved himself in the ww division yet and it's obvious the cotto fight won't help his cause either. imagine how he'll look once he gets knocked out on the 14th? does he deserve a shot at a guy like floyd, when he didn't even deserve it in the first place? i'd be a boring fight cause floyd would ridicule him due to his superior skills and overall talent. pacquiao is not on that level yet, cotto is however. can't wait for talks about cotto-mayweather after the pac fight.

yeah pacquiao is a notch higher than mayweather.Manny risking his career fighting bigger guys instead of fighting smaller lightweight like Floyd did. Floyd's fight is boring while Manny's fights were all entertaining. Manny dont need Floyd. He can fight Mosley and make a lot of money. Manny will definitely getting 60% of the purse if ever he beat Cotto.

[shogunn]

mayewather will want 90-10%. When Arum and Manny refuse, he'll claim they're afraid of him, and that he'll be forced to take on on other warriors in teh lightweight division.

15 million guarantee is a lot of money. I wonder if he could get that against SSM or Cotto because that seems like a ton and they would be sacrificing quite a bit.

Clearly promoters want to make money on the fights so that guarantee seems very high considering.
