Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Saul Alvarez Actually in Talks?

wtf??? theres 6 different news sources saying hes fighting mosley on may 1st!!!!!

I'm not sold that Mayweather-Alvarez will happen. Golden Boy and Top Rank are both after this kid. He makes a lot of money in Mexico and sells thousands of tickets. He is a future goldmine in Mexico.

The question is not whether Mayweather will fight him but whether Alvarez's handlers will take the fight. The kid is only 19 and makes everyone around him a lot of money. It would take a heavy, heavy purse to give him up to Mayweather and even then I think it's a 50-50 shot.

Would there be any problems getting a commission to sign off on a 19 yr. old with limited opposition vs. a 33 year old top 2 fighter in the world?

I just spoke with someone in Alvarez's camp who swore to me that De La Hoya is flying in for a private meeting with the kid to discuss a Mayweather fight. I'm waiting on Schaefer to get back to me to find out what the story is but Maldonado is their associate in Mexico and I find no reason for him to lie about anything.

WOW!

lol

Saul is still in napies for **** sake. Why not wait for the winner of Berto/Mosley which is not far off.

Even in a defeat, should he give a good performance he might get the publicity he deserves outside Mexico.

have u even seen alvaresz fight?? the kid can fight! most elite mexico fighters become a big factor here , they only own more championshpis than anyone else, even if he loses hes only getting better, and i dont see featherfisted floyd doing long term damage if he does lose, wtf, theyre sayin mayweather fiten mosley may1st what gives???

There is NO way this is acceptable, I already gave Mayweather a pass for a tune up against Marquez. A fight against Alvarez would be a farce.

Rick, where are the quotes? You were hellbent on me finding quotes to confirm that ARUM said Pac-Clottey was going to be on HBO.

Well Rick, where are the quotes from Schaeffer, DLH, or any Mayweather that they are even considering Canelo?

Sloppy journalism at it's finest. Funny how Pacquiao never seems to have any of this bull**** flung at him. As the owner of the largest boxing site on the internet, you should try a little impartiality.

Because he went after Clottey not Alvarez you jackass. If you like the way Pac handles things better than May switch your allegiance.

this is insane, mayweather is losing credibility, now I take pacman's side and would rather buy his PPV date, pbf should fight cintron or bradley on 03/13 otherwise he is cherry picking protecting his ass from losing....and not getting the fight thinks he wants (pacman_

[boxingfan76]

saul young but even if he loses hes goin to give mayweather hell i can garuntee u that.
