Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Jr. Interview on Fighting Shane Mosley

[Tweezy316]

just take out dela hoya's name on that list and you'll be fine...and pac too because it's still too early to talk about that.

why take out de la hoya? didn't he make his most money with mayweather? why take out pac? didn't they say mayweather vs pacquiao would be the highest selling ppv in history??

[Sugar Q]

Its really funny how people just accuse fighters of "ducking" other fighters...your saying he pretty muched ducked Mosley and JMM to fight Cotto...But if he fought Marquez, you would say he ducked Mosley and Cotto. and if he fought Mosley, you would say he ducked JMM and Cotto.

You see the logic? you can only fight 1 guy at a time, so haters like you will keep saying Pac ducked someone no matter who he fights. If he fought Mayweather on May 1st you would say he ducked 5 others guys.

Let it go already

Yes Im saying he ducked them to fight a WOUNDED Cotto after wars with Zab, Shane, Margacheato then Clottey. Don't you recall Manny telling Arum "I want Cotto now, get him right now". He didn't want a well rested, healed Cotto. He wanted Cotto coming off those brutal fights. If he would've fought Mosley that would've been a good thing although to be P4P he has to face PBF. Your logic would have merit if Pac's trainer wasnt on record turning down the Mosley fight twice. Manny never intended to face Floyd period. He would've gotten more money for Floyd or Shane but instead he fights Clottey. You guys are hilarious.

Sorry didnt know this was the SpellingBeeScene.com

All im saying is Floyd keeps telling us that Oscar had his biggest payday with him, while neglecting the fact that he earn his biggest payday with Oscar. Plus the fact that Oscar made more then him in that fight. Im not sure but in most fights the biggest draw doesnt get paid less, but i guess Floyd is an exception

At the time Oscar was the bigger draw noone is arguing with you on that. But after that fight Floyd CLEARLY replaced Oscar. Even with all Oscar's ppv success he never sold as many ppv's in 2 fights as Floyd Mayweather that's FACT!

haha floyd doesn't fight lesser competition. like pacquiao who took on clottey in a fight NOOONE wanted to see hence the weak ppv numbers for the p4p king and fighter of the decade LMAO!! Floyd did more numbers with Marquez in 1 fight then Pacquiao did with Marquez in 2 fights!! So where was that big Mexican fan base when Marquez and Pacquiao fought huh? or how bout that big Filipino base for Pacquiao. Hell with those two bases together it should of been well over a million don't ya think???

Let me guess, you take a rudimentary approach to Floyd receiving criticism and assume everyone who criticizes him is a Pac fan? I haven't brought up Pac once, but you do it consistently as if it's your defense mechanism kicking into high gear. I think Floyd is the best boxer on the planet, so what exactly is your point?

Putting that aside, I think it's difficult to compare the roads of either fighters without putting their careers into context and looking specifically at how long each fighter has been at welterweight....one fighter has been a welterweight for a year, and the other fighter became a welterweight in 2005 when he fought Sharmbe Mitchell, you bring up the most general examples to backup your points, yet all without context and all of which are easily taken apart when examined further.

exactly they try to give de la hoya all the credit for the big numbers even tho floyd was p4p #1 and undefeated they act like that had nothing to do with it. And they say Pac is the bigger draw and him and de la hoya did half of what mayweather did. And now they wanna give the Marquez credit for the ppv numbers because of the mexican fan base? even tho that fan base was nowhere to be found in his other fights lol

You cant be serious right? That is exactly what Floyd is saying that It was Floyd that sold all those PPV and DLH had nothing to do with it. I agree Floyd was a huge draw in that fight but not as big as DLH and their paychecks reflected that.

well you know what i think i'm gonna have to check other threads...we're just going on circles here

[switchsouthpaw]

do you guys want some cheese with all that whine?? lol or how bout your bottle?

I put a bottle in my mouth, but you put a grown mans' nuts in yours, which is better? lol

And that would be cheese with "wine", not "whine".

[Sugar Q]

Well isnt Marquez a Conquered fighter? Plus what does that fight have to prove anyway? In the first fight he wouldve won if not for a judges scoring error, and the second fight he won....i dont care how close you think the fight was, a win is a win.

And your telling me you actually wanna see Pac vs JMM 3?

Weak spin my dude. The world wanted to see Marquez 3. Everybody but the judges thought that Marquez won that 2nd fight. Remember the first fight was a draw. Manny has unfinished business with Marquez. So what's your Manny excuse for not fighting Shane? What about the whole light-wt division? Hey, what about Bradley @140? What about anybody on a winning streak? Instead we'll get Margacheato. I'm sure you see the pattern.

Manny can move onto bigger things figuratively and literally, he is a welterweight and at this stage much improved since he last fought Marquez, what weight would he fight Marquez at anyway? Marquez can't carry 147 and not even sure about 140.

I got a strong feeling your weak ass case is gonna be closed next weekend. Who will you give credit to for May/Mos huge PPV numbers next week?
