Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Needs Boxing, and Boxing Needs Him

[Dan Gutierrez]

Olympic regulations are ok if applied the way they should be. In the Mayweather case, it is different. Floyd Mayweather is using the Olympic random blood testing as an excuse to prevent the fight between him and the Great Manny Pacquiao to happen. Even the Nevada Athletic Commission is saying that this type of random blood testing is very ineffective and boxing does not need it because it is very dangerous to the fighters. Boxers are fighting under the commission rules and boxers can not dictate new rules to be implimented in a fight. This is very clear that chicken Floyd is just throwing in roadblocks because he does'nt have the courage to fight the Pacman.

Floyd needs boxing, boxing don't need Floyd. The only reason so many people buy his PPV's is because they hate him so much that they wanna see him lose. He needs to just stay away from boxing, his time is over. Retire already, and keep those cry baby tears to yourself.

I don't see how boxing needs him.It did just fine when he was retired for 18 months or whatever and does fine when he takes year long vacations between fights

I think Mayweather is the best fighter in the sport but boxing doesn't need him. He is actually bad for the sport with his infrequent fighting and glorified tune ups. I have no doubt he would blow pac out the water but he deprived the sport of many great match ups (cotto, williams, bradley, martinez, berto). He should make a splash and fight a mike jones this year. Enough is enough who gives a crap about his legal trouble this is a boxing site. Report on active fighters. But as long as there are 30 pages worth of posts on his every move we will keep seeing these headlines. **** was old during the pac may 2nd round of negotiations.

He needs to get back in the ring pronto and leave all the dumb **** he's been doing behind him.

Floyd is trying to hold his stance... I truly believe he doesn't want to concede 50/50 revenue... and he shouldn't. He is the PPV king... They need to get in that RING ASAP though!!! Me and everyone else have had enough of this **** on both ends!!!! Floyd stop posturing and Manny make a decision without Bob for once in your life... It seems more and more like Bob's fighters work for him and not the other way around. I mean how do you even think of justifying Margo OR Pac a title shot at Junior middle?? SMH at the WBC for slapping all other junior middlers in the face particularly Martinez.. Pac wouldn't dare step in there with Martinez... all of this so-called greatness is orchestrated.. No Mosley's, Judah's, Berto's, Bradley's, Alexander's, Martinez... just feeding him a bunch of slow punching bags. If he did these things to any of the aforementioned then I would give him mad props... Im actually pissed at both fighters at this point... I want Floyd vs Pac and Cotto and Margarito and Berto and Williams... And I want Pac vs Floyd and Berto and Bradley and Mosley and Berto and Judah... boxing needs these kinds of fights

This is a bad situation for Floyd.But honestly, it will make him even more money in the future.Not being racist, but have anyone ever noticed that black fighters that may have excellent boxing skills are never really noticed unless there is controversy around them? Fighters like Ali, Tyson, and now Floyd have always stayed in the news. There was always something going on in their lives that caused controversy. It is what helped make them rich. What does that say about our society? Hispanic and white fighters can be less talented and still have a huge following and make lots of money. Black fighters have to be outspoken, arrogant, and rowdy to get noticed and make good money.Most of these black fighters only "portray" the image to be successful. If you get to know them, they are completely the opposite of what they portray. If you don't believe me, just look at the careers of Tim Bradley and Devon Alexander.Two great fighters who are under the radar because they are gentlemen,but have excellent talent.Yet, their counterpart,Amir Khan, is already making millions. Why is that??? It just tells you alot about our society. A black man has to be a side show or have a circus personality to make the big bucks in this business.Who really paid attention to Floyd as a fighter before he changed to the "MONEY MAYWEATHER" character?

If all of you racist bastards in here google Shantel Jackson (Floyd's soon to be wife) then you would understand the argument he had with the mother of his 3 children over a missing iphone."Stop jumping to conclusions and treat PBF like you would treat Manny or other fighters". The blatant racism of some of you should have your ignorant asses locked up! Society doesn't need your ignorance cause you damn sure don't talk about other fighters as some of you talk about Floyd and none of you know the man personally. Anything to take away from the fact that the dude is the best P4P in the ring. Not the most classiest or articulate dude on the block but a bad ass MFer in the ring. Can't take that away from him.
