HOLYFIELD:It's NOT FLOYD THAT WILL BRING THE CROWD

[Red Rebel]

Jones Jr. = Pac is top 4-5

HolyField = Maywetaher is a chicken

Foreman = Mayweather is a chicken

the list just goes on....

[xAUGUSTUSx]

It's Holyfield. Evander Holyfield. I'm sure you're a pinoy fan that had never heard of boxing before Pacquiao, but please try to at least pretend, and spell the name's of boxing's great champs correctly. Have some respect.

Why you so defensive idiot?

[xAUGUSTUSx]

I'm not a ***** per se but evander is not smart enough to give commentary on floyd.

I'm sure he understands the game inside and out. He's been there, you have'nt so STFU.

[xAUGUSTUSx]

Holyfield has a history of steroid use just like guess who?

Holfield is ******ed if he doesnt think Mayweather brings crowds,Mayweather's statistics can not be denied.His gate takings etc,at the end of the day Tyson,Holyfield can say what they want.They rallied behind Hatton and we know what happened to HAtton.They just happen to hate Mayweather because he calls himself the greatest fight which infers that Mayweather is better than Holyfield,Tyson,Foreman,Ali and SRL.I expect them to continue rallying behind anyone in the opposite corner

You're too hung up on Floyd man. Check out some other fighters aswell it makes the sport way more interesting. I'm not dissing you. I'm just being honest.

other interview to hollyfield (wrong spelling, attack my race hahaha):

EH – I don't think that's going to work. It's not Floyd that will bring the crowd. What makes this fight bigger than life is the good and bad thing. When people see Pacquiao, they look at him as the good guy, they want to see him win morally. These are the people that don't like Mayweather, so what makes this fight big is the ultimate good and evil. It is surprising that two small guys like that can bring it out. It only happens once and awhile. Just like Tommy Hearns and Duran, and Sugar Ray Leonard did. Pacquiao has a big crowd of people that wants to see him win because of his good attitude. Whoever he fights, he gives it his all. He's not gong to go in there and just put on a show that's not productive. I don't think that 60/40 is going to work.

8CN – If the fight does happen, who do you think will win.

EH – Mayweather as far as skill wise may be the best out there. It doesn't always mean the guy with the most skills will win though. Pacquiao has skills, and he has heart. On paper you always give it to Mayweather, but on personal ability and in a guy that fights through and through, you would say Pacquiao. This is what makes this fight a toss up. Pacquiao has proved that he is different than any other fighter. Pacquiao is just as quick as Mayweather, and he throws a lot more punches than Mayweather.

8CN – The Mayweathers are convinced that Pacquiao is on steroids. I have personally witnessed how hard Manny trains, and I do not think he is on steroids. What are your thoughts on that? Do you think it's a fair accusation that the Mayweather's have made?

EH – Either you're going to fight him or not. Why bring that steroid thing up? Either sit on the pot, or get off of the pot. Whatever commission it is, if it's Dallas or Vegas, they make up the rules. The fighter shouldn't get in there and aggravate the situation by making up his own rules. If Manny is on something they will catch him, but Mayweather don't make up the rules. Either fight the guy, or don't.

*****s, go shoot him!

There you go, "Either fight the guy, or don't." That's what I've been saying. If you think Pac is on steroids, then don't fight him. As simple as that. Why bother throwing these silly roadblocks when you can simply say, "NO"?

8CN- It appears that Floyd wants a 60-40 split... Holyfield cuts in

EH- I don't think that's going to work. It's NOT FLOYD THAT WILL BRING THE CROWD. What makes this fight bigger than life is the good thing and bad thing. When people see Pacquiao, they look at him as the good guy, they want to see him Win Morally. These are the people that don't like Mayweather, so what make this fight big is the ultimate good and evil. It is Surprisingly that two small guys like that can bring it out. It Only Happens ONCE in a WHILE. Pacquiao has a big Crowd people that wants to see him win because of his Good Atttitude. Whoever he fights, he Gives it his All. He's Not going to go there and just put on a show that's not productive. I DON'T THINK THAT
60-40 IS GOING TO WORK.

Good post!....the man makes a good point and i agree.

[maguirre]

Guys remember. *****s has greater knowledge in boxing in BS/forums than Evander Holyfield, George Foreman and Roy Jones Jr. Don't forget that. That's whats happening in here and thats how they think.

The thing about these stans and possibly their idol is that they act as if the chance of a lifetime will always be there. It won't. If the fight won't happen this year, it will be gone forever. Arum is set to announce something in the coming days. I don't know what it is, but I hope it's about the fight being made. Otherwise, I'll expect a non-stop blame game and it will reverberate throughout all corners of the globe.

Hoyfield, I can't tell. Money generated - edge goes to Floyd, live-gate - edge goes to Floyd, PPV - edge goes to Floyd

People need to really stop using uneducated info and blurting it out in these interviews.

[AllEyesOpen]

The only point I agree with is that Pacquiao has the good guy persona, & the agreeable style, but that doesn't sell tickets. Tickets get sold long before you step in the ring, and Mayweather's the best at hyping his fights, wether you want to see him when or lose, you pay to watch, which is why love him or hate him he is the bigger draw.

[tredh]

One man's opinion regardless of who he is. That opinion can either be agreed with, disagreed with, respected or not respected. Holyfield was a great fighter but the numbers don't show what he is talking about.
