Why is the Fighter of the Decade an Underdog and Making Less Money Than Floyd?

[fdotorres]

If Floyd didn't take the sport seriously then maybe I could find the time to hate his greed and money grubbing. But the point is he respects the sport and does what it takes to be the best. Money, as I wrote, is just a persona, I respect Floyd's work ethic. Just watching him train sometimes inspires me to get out and run 3 miles.

wow............

Actually the opening post consisted of Floyd being the favorite and Pac being the underdog..the statement that Floyd makes more is in the title thread but isn't mentioned in the opening post..do you say that is also falsehood or is Floyd actually the favorite to the FOTD?

Actually it is the title of the opening post, not just the thread title. Nice try.

Floyd is a bigger draw and a better fighter.

1996, aint that the truth. Amazing how so called fans of boxing routinely disrespect this guy. They have no appreciation for excellence.

If bigger is such an issue then why do you Mayhaters want Floyd to fight Paul Williams?I don't hate Mayweather at all and Id much rather Floyd fight Sergio or Sergei because he handles PWill easily you idiot so dont put words in my mouth. Do you get some sort of enjoyment in stacking the cards against him? Floyd was bigger, faster, stronger, longer and younger than Marquez, so no talking about stacking the cards aginst Floyd when its usually the opposite. Floyd and Pac are relative in height, size, and weight, if Pac can beat Clottey who probably came in as a middle weight then Floyd's physical measurements should be of no concern. After all Pac is the Fighter of the Decade, he has nothing to fear from feather fisted Gayweather, right?

Relative size has nothing to do with this discussion we're talking about 2 great fighters facing off and even if all else was perfectly equal the fighter with the size advantage should win. Pacquiao demanded a 145 catchweight against Cotto because hes not a full fledged WW, Mayweather didnt meet the catchweight against Marquez because he is.

you base that percentage on what source?

[M.I.C.]

If a fighter or athlete cant inspire you to at the very least exercise then why are you even a fan?

That made me laugh... I do like his training videos, though..
