Boring Mayweather has neither belt nor title with which to tinker

[jasbar]

Worthless non-title fight. Im starting to lose interest for this fight. Floyd thinks he is above the sport and is slowly destroying boxing because of his childish demands. The fight should be a title fight for the sake of boxing.

Come on *******s, now you want Floyd fight no namers who cant last a second in his world? Didnt you haters keep repeating floyd is dodging this and that guy? now you want him to fight no namers? I dont know what u guys have in your head lol, hes here to fight the best and for the big fights, but still you find a way to hate. Amazing.

He made a great statement, **** those ABC belts, there should be only 1 belt per weight class. He doesnt need a ABC belt to be himself.

lol. If he doesn't want a title, that's his problem.

because you watch a fight only to see a belt raised at the end of it right?

Quite frankly Floyd said something worthwhile finally.

i read your earlier post, and took it as you saying the dude was somehow scared to fight "upstarts," even tho he's clearly going after the best fighters in the division, who are already established....

if that wasn't your stance, then my apologies, i misunderstood.

bottom line is that floyd has been fighting for a long time, and i honestly don't think he's on some kind of 3 or 4 year return trip. i think he came back to fight the best fighter (manny pacquiao), then leave for good. through circumstance, shane got in the way, so he's gotta take care of him first....floyd's really not at the point in his career where he has any interest, or needs to prove anything by fighting upstarts....that's now berto's job.

floyd was sitting on his couch, saw manny destroy oscar, and thought, "ching-ching!" to himself. that's why he came back. not to fight the collazo's, clottey's, alvarez's, and jones's. he came for the guy being billed as the "top" guy, then he's out.


paying a sanctioning fee, for a belt he has no intention in defending is pretty pointless, even you'd have to agree with that.

Co-Sign... i agree with that statement 100%

Who's supposed to be carrying this fight anyway? He takes credit for carrying the De La Hoya and Hatton fights (which are obvious lies) .........

The emperor (Mayweather) in this case wants better than 50% of a purse against Manny Pacquiao? This should be an easy negotiation for Bob Arum because these boys are all bluff and have to be concerned with beating Mosley now.

Fact: Mayweather v Juan Manuel Marquez did 1 Mil ppv buys

Help me understand your thinking freeloada......

Who carried the ppv draw for both Pacquiao v Juan Manuel Marquez fights?

If you say PAC then why didn't he sell more ppv buys in two fights than Mayweather did in one?

If you say Juan Manuel Marquez then you admit that PAC isn't a top level ppv draw.

You can't claim that Mayweather is a ppv fraud without hurting the credibility of your fighter PAC.

Here are the PPV facts:
Floyd v Hatton 915,000 PPV buys (Pac v Hatton 850,000 PPV buys)
Floyd v DLH 2.4 Mil PPV buys (Pac v DLH 1.25 Mil PPV buys)
Floyd v Marquez 1 Mil PPV buys (Pac v Marquez2 400,000 PPV buys....Pac also had the benefit of Pac v Marquez 1 to sell the second fight)

In each case the public voted with their dollars and more people prefer to watch Mayweather vs. common opponents over Pacquiao.

You are going to have to come to grips with the fact that if Pac ever wants to fight Floyd he is going to have to take a drug test according to WADA or USADA protocol AND (because he didn’t agree to the fight in March...) now he is going to have to take the lesser end of the purse split (60/40 minimum) because Mayweather has already proven he is the bigger draw and with the May 1st fight expected to do more than twice what Pacquiao v Clottey did..... I'm sorry to say the negotiations just got a whole lot tougher.

Floyd doesnt want to fight for the belt just incase he loses he can still say he "only fights for money" which of course he will still get if he loses. If he wins he wont have to face a mandatory sooner or later which would be a top contender and a legitimate threat to him. He only wants to pick and choose who he thinks he can beat - this is not the mentality of real champion.

Floyd Mayweather is a *****hole.

Your problem is you think he ponders over losing. If he wins there is no better position to be in buddy. When you beat the best there's nothing wrong with having a list of demands. A big problem now is the alphabet soup of belts that hold fighters hostage and create undesirable match-ups. News flash!!!!! He thinks he can beat anybody. Isnt that the mark of a champion? Im seeing a much bigger picture and the steps he is taking for himself will spread to other fighters and allow them to control their own in the future.

Sorry dude.. this wasn't a article that i wrote.. i found it on a different website.. if i didnt put the link then sorry.. i usually always put a link..

400,000 buys and some change, not a million buys. Brad Cooney already exposed this myth. Floyd's words ad actions bring the worst out of Floyd haters. Even casual boxing fans hate his arrogance

If you have proof then provide it in the form of a link or name and date of publication when the story ran.

Here is where I have a questions about Brad Cooney's objectivity...

Journalist Brad Cooney reflects on his time with Team Pacquiao
November 13, 9:03 PMLas Vegas Boxing ExaminerChris Robinson

"After his initial meeting with Roach, Cooney would establish a friendship with the trainer that still exists to this day. That friendship would lead to Cooney returning back to Los Angeles time and time again for training camps with the man who would end up being Roach’s prized pupil, Manny Pacquiao".

So is Brad Cooney a journalist covering Roach and Pacquiao or Roach's friend? I wonder if some objectivity is lost when writing about a friend.... (not being a journalist I wouldn't know).
