Mayweather played this all out nicely

[Horus]

He let all these top guys eliminate each other.

Now he will fight Pacquiao, and if he wins it will be like he also just beat Cotto without even beating Cotto.

Not the most courageous move, but smart none the less.

Here we go with the Conspiracy theories, you must think the world is going to end in 2012 also?

Pac's aggressive style also plays right into PBF's hands. Floyd will run and land enough jabs and straight rights to steal enough rounds too win, NO way Floyd's going to engage Pac, unfortunately...

[BOX-A-LOT]

Floyd came back 'cause he needed the $$$$$$. It wasn't no strategy about him seeing how things play out. He needed to get the $$$ back the IRS was taking from him.

Floyd is not as dumb as he talks sometimes, but y'all giving him too much credit for this so-called "strategy" of his. Afterall, this was a guy who just gave up $6,000,000. just like that, lmao

it's not that he planned this out....

he was asked before, why not margarito, shane, or cotto? and he said these guys are beating each other....shane beats margarito, who beat cotto, who beat shane. mayweather was saying nobody has distinguished themselves enough to make a fight a huge enough fight for him. dude fights for money, not legacy, we all know this.....he only do the biggest fights he can.

pacquiao has distinguished himself.

yep, thats what i said, floyd hang back and lets all the competition beat and soften each other up, then he will fight the damaged goods, claiming he is the greatest ever...............

well my friend you have just exposed floyd like the rest of us have, IT'S CALLED CHERRY PICKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the only people who have done it better are , hamed, hatton, and calzaghe, all frank warren's little money makers, although, they did it a different way but the results still the same, a good looking resume, being the favorite in every fight and always having the advantage.......... that is of course excluding their loses, minus calzaghe.

Conspiracy theory?

Obviously you believe in Conspiracy theories, in order to make this thread.
Because it is based on a Conspiracy.
