    FFS Horus, if your own mother said to you "Mr boat buyer is not the gr8est thing since sliced bread and I do not accept him as my lord and savior" you'd jack her in the face wouldn't you homey?
    The point i was making in asking you that question, is that if the reward is wroth the risk Mayweather would fight anybody!

    and Like I knew you would, you agree with me.

    Mayweather is a prizefighter
    So is Pacquiao
    So is everyone else.



    What is clearly the goal for every Prizefighter?
    even modest contenders will often accept a fight
    "only if the money is right."


    It's been stated by many critics that Floyd is all about money and has tarnished the sport. Take some time to consider, however, how a fighter like Juan Manuel Marquez could end up fighting and losing a title shot in Indonesia for 31,000 dollars. You have to be smart as a prizefighter, you can't just accept fights because promoters, sanctioning bodies, networks, or even pushy fans want you to. Too many fighters have become ****** and puppets to the system. The big promotion companies are well known to have taken advantage of many fighters throughout the years. How much bad press has Don King, Bob Arum, and even the upstart Golden Boy Promotions received when it comes to actually paying their fighters and treating them with respect? Every week we hear about another fighter leaving their promoter, or buying out their contract, or being dropped from a network. Mayweather long ago freed himself from the corruption when he rejected HBO's offer as a slave contract and subsequently bought out his contract with Top Rank promotions. As a result, he has flourished under his own guidance; yet unjustly criticized for being successful.

      It's funny that Mayweather comes back out of retirement right after Paul Williams moves out of 147. Shane is ducking Williams too. That, however does not change the fact that Floyd is ducking BOTH of them.

        floyd has better timing---better footwork--better speed---better lateral movement--batter balance--throws sh****r punches---throws to he body better---has a better jab and lead hand---hmmmmm...let's see---should i end here--no wait---floyd has better defense---much more control---is much more fluid---in hindsight---floyd does everything better than quitana and add to this---paul fights small---which is why he lost to quitana--started to struggle with slowmo margarito--and was hit sooooo clean by phillips---add to this---floyd has way more skill than paul and has better discipline---maybe i should stop here---nah---floyd has better intuition in the ring and fights more natural than paul does which is why he makes his wins look easy for the most part---even against bigger/taller opponents---paul would be no different---he would give floyd the best competition in a decisively losing effort albeit---but floyd would school that cat---and i've always said this---paul isn't floyd's kryptonite----another victor for floyd---floyd knos how to fight small against bigger opponents--like he should---paul doesn't like to fight big against smaller opponents--and all of those punches and the fact that his movement is suspect and he leaves his long body open would give floyd soooo many openings against this cat---

            if williams were smart enough to keep the fight at a distance, i think he could get an easy UD... BUT he cannot resist getting inside and bringing the fight, and FM would take him to school that way...

            so at this point, i got floyd UD

                how is he ducking them ICE?
                explain?

                Is Shane Mosley or Paul Williams P.P.V Fighters?

                Listen.
                Boxers are PRIZEFIGHTERS !!! Not Animals.

                This is why fights like Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Aaron Pryor never happen.
                MONEY. The REWARD wasnt big enough to match the RISK.

                This is why, People dont race for pink slips with bull**** cars.
                This is why, At million dollar poker games you have to buy your way into game at usually 100k RATHER than it be open to the public for free.

                There is no healthcare in boxing.
                There is no retirement package.
                this is a business. this is why we pay to see them fight


                Professional Boxing is obviously a very competitive "industry". Every year, hundreds of fighters turn professional, and every year the people who were usually on top of the sport the previous year fall victim to new fighters that intend to take that fighters spot. The number of openings is always shrinking, and the number of candidates continues to grow every year.

                What this means is, If you are on top You need to strike while your rod is hot.
                And take advantage of every advantage you have, And do not take a cent less than what you are worth. Because at the end of the day, it is only you who is in the ring, and Boxing dont have social security or a health care plan to fall back on like other Professional sports leagues do.

                So what they make now, is what they are going to have to live on when they are old. That is why risk vs. reward in boxing is so important.
                Because boxing unlike other sports. Does not have a safety net.

                HBO and GB need to put the money up to make the fight happen. So they can make the reward worth the risk.
                but they know like Most of us know, Mosley at this stage of his career is not a GOOD investment. neither is Paul Williams
