Good! There are plenty of people already on it.

"Right now, I feel good. I never really took no abuse in the sport. I feel great. But the kid that’s going to beat Floyd Mayweather hasn’t been born yet. Yes, he may, he may have been born—it may be one of my sons."

so public demand didnt matter??? floyd needs a cordial invitation? he needs to be "officially" called out? thats rubbish bro. what about the margs offer? i understand floyd going for the money fight with oscar... without oscar, floyd would still be struggling to make a difference. how many seasons of dancing with the stars & WWE appearances does floyd need to get some attention without oscar??? you ask who was p-will??? at the time p-will was the "most avoided" guy at WW... how about who the hell is berto??? yet people say pac should fight him.... and who the hell is sergio??? no matter how good sergio is, RIGHT NOW, he is STILL unknown outside of fanboys... the problem is, for some reason floyd LOVES playing the victim. everybody is against him... well, according to ellerbe & reports, that was their plan... since "pretty boy" couldnt sell, they had to create the "money" persona... if he wants to play the bad guy to get attention, he needs to suck it up and accept the fact he will be criticized... real boxing fans will admire his talent, but his out-of-the-ring antics are pathetic.

Floyd ducking Cotto/Margarito. Why don't you reply to
my posts? I am bringing all the facts! No opnions or
nothing.....

Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million.

Arum said Mayweather also asked for $20 million to fight De La Hoya, a fight Arum said he wasn't interested in participating in.

"That's not in the cards," Arum said. "He wants $20 million for the De La Hoya fight? It's not there. Sometimes, my man, you gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. We'll talk about things down the road."http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/box...ory?id=2420382

Mosley wanted to go back down to the welterweight division he once dominated after the first fight, but the rematch kept him at junior middleweight (Fernando Vargas). Now, he intends to go back to 147 pounds.

Waiting for him could be a mega fight against pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mayweather would like the fight in November, but Mosley said he doesn't even plan to resume training until November.

"You know Antonio Margarito is out there waiting to fight Floyd," said Mosley, who earned about $4 million plus a percentage of pay-per-view profits. "Those guys should fight each other and we can fight next year. The only thing I know is my tooth is a little lose and I might have to go to the dentist."

With the win (Henry Bruseles), Mayweather sets up a proposed June bout with WBC champion Arturo Gatti, assuming Gatti gets past James Leija next weekend. Mayweather, however, seems to be looking to bigger and better things.

"I'm told that [Shane] Mosley and [Oscar] De La Hoya are going to 147," Mayweather said. "I plan to join them there."

Ducking who? When was the last time Manny Pacquiao negotiated
or was in talks to fight top guys?

Damn...you just KILLED him.

Damn...you just KILLED him.

Tired of their s#!t fam. I am notices that nobody
has anything to say? I mean, come on! The facts
are right there in EVERYONE faces and hate plus
denial is not a good team. I refuse to have anyone
try to play me like a fool and Arum has been doing it
for YEARS with most of these people. Never understood
why people don't want to know or acknowledge the
truth?

Cotto was never ready for Floyd. Floyd went to
town on Bruseles who sparred with Cotto and had
Miguel's uncle "Evangelista Cotto" trained Henry
Bruseles and was in the corner the night he fought
Mayweather. On top of that! Cotto was there to
see his boy get stopped AND guess what else? Cotto
and Hatton was at the Gatti fight and they were
looking shook. Bob Arum was the one that said
Cotto wasn't ready for Floyd at 140 (Where Cotto
got his real pro start). Floyd came up from 135. I
give Cotto props for fighting but he would have been
another win on Floyd's belt. Mayweather was the
champ of the division and Cotto didn't push for the
spot like he was supposed to. I think everything I
ever said about Cotto's boxing style came to past.
I saw all of his weaknesses from the beginning and
they were eventually exposed.

but bradley/alexander/berto is ready for pac??? but people STILL want the fight anyway.... floyd beats cotto, but cotto wouldve put something on floyd... the thing is i would rather see a fighter beat a guy, instead of saying he will but not do it... prime cotto was a solid boxer, IMO, he would have shined the light on a few flaws of floyd (as well as add mileage to floyd)... margs DEFINITELY wouldve put some mileage on floyd... there were PLENTY of styles for floyd to mix it up with... but he chooses GBP sacrifices (ricky/jmm/shane)... plus, floyd refuses to pay sanctioning fees and keep belts.... excusing himself from DEFENDING. on the other spectrum, pac is collecting trinket belts and completely disregards defending... neither are good for the sport.

"Floyd Mayweather is Not on a Pacquiao ****!" lol I wonder which mod edited the thread title.

[deejd]

Arum didn't even respond to Schaefer's comment.

[ИATAS]

$7 Million gaurantee, $8 million gaurantee, $10 million gaurantee doesn't matter because that doesn't include the PPV revenue, at gate revenue, etc. that's just the minimum gaurantee.

All I know is floyd vs cotto (or even margarito) would have been HUGE but floyd retired and the rest is history.

i would like to spend countless hours trying to prove some forum poster wrong... frankly, does it even matter? grus, i know you know your stuff, but i also know youre far from being unbiased... bottom line, floyd SHOULDVE fought those dudes... he wouldve beat them, but it would have defined his career even more (and what if he lost??? he got a gift from the first castillo fight)... please dont act like floyd didnt take the easy route... you guys can justify the judahs, baldomirs, fat jmms, all you want... but those victories are just as empty as pac's clottey/margs wins...

there are PLENTY of people claiming pac ducked people in LW division. LOL.
you cant please everybody.
