Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Pacquiao Can Forget 50-50 if Our PPV Wins

[Rome-By-Ko]

It wasn't because he knew he wasn't a welterweight. He just didn't prepare properly for that fight against Collazo. It was not the weight, so kill that excuse. Here are the words of his trainer, Graham.

lol face first hatton should not even be in pac mosley or money same breath he was a over hyped fighter and if you give floyd alot of credit for beating him don't money get's credit for jlc hoya and judah that's about it for me in imo

Ranked higher by who, biased sportswriters, prejudice fans,etc.? Real fighters like Lennox Lewis, B-Hop,etc know who the P4P best really is. How can a man who has lost fights and won controversial decisions be fighter of the decade over a 5 division undefeated champion? Did Floyd make the catch-wt or did Marquez ask for it? You got it twisted.

Get your facts dude. You cannot compare Floyd's resume to Pac. What does he got? Cherry picked opponents from lower divisions?

Tbh I was surprised Pac got 50-50 the first time around.

get over it, pac is ranked number 1, floyd isnt. how can you claim to be the greatest of all time when you dont fight anybody in your own division and fight people from 1 and 2 divisions below! and you can make the case that castillo beat him in the first fight. did floyd sign the atchweight? yes. did he make the weight? no, thats is just as good as cheating.

You fail.

Hatton fought TWICE more after that Luis fight at 147.

Floyd was "retired".

Stop looking silly.

i guess he beat some top guy's at 147 huh did he beat a top 5 or even 7 guy lol come on get face first hatton other here you tryin to put this guy as a good opponent is just funny the man is and was hype (and so is khan)

too long to read..here's the summary


Quack, Quack, Quack

I'm no *****, but it's hard not to admire Floyd's business accumen. We all know if the shoe was on the other foot, and Floyd and Pac's opponents were reversed, Pac-Mosely would dwarf Money-Clottey. By passing on a Pacquiao fight, and suckering Manny into a fight with Clottey where he has to provide ALL of the PPV numbers on the merit of his own market value, Floyd assures a better bargaining position in terms of percentage split when Mayweather-Pacquiao talks resume. I don't necessarily agree, but on paper, Floyd will undeniably have the stronger argument. VERY GOOD BUSINESSMAN!

actually you fail, he didnt fight twice at welterweight after collazo.

if you want to quote billy , what about straight after the fight, when he said ricky hatton is a LIGHT welterweight. if weight had nothing to do with it, why didnt he stay in the division seen as tho he was a champion? why were 45 of his 47 fights at light welterweight man. come on , there is no way you can try and justify that hatton is a welterweight.

I'm NOT justifying that he is a welterweight.

What I AM doing is dispelling the notion that the weight was a problem for him when he fought Floyd.

They WANTED to fight Floyd at 147.

Hatton has fought in the welterweight division on numerous occasions, but his last two fights - against Juan Urango and Jose Luis Castillo - have both been at the lighter weight.

Mayweather has also fought at different weights, stepping up to light middleweight for his most recent bout against Oscar de la Hoya.

"I've always said Ricky wasn't a welterweight and I wasn't interested in going back up to that division unless it was [against] Floyd because he's not such a big guy," added Graham.

Plus, Hatton has a history of ballooning up weight in between fights.

So logic says, that it would be easier for Hatton to make 147 than 140.

Besides, Floyd was the champ in the division, so Hatton HAD to move up to fight him. The same way when Hatton was the champ at 140 and Pac HAD to move up to fight him. The same way when Oscar was the champ at 154 and Floyd HAD to move up to fight him. The same way when Ruiz was the champ at heavyweight, Roy HAD to move up to fight him. It happens in the sport. I just get upset when you guys are not consistent and don't look at the facts.

Oh boy here we go again. It's obvious May-Mos will blow Pac's PPV out of the water but that's not an excuse to automatically ask for bigger PPV buys because of it. Here we go all over again.
