Did Floyd duck a rematch with Oscar?

[MartinC]

The first fight was very close but Mayweather wouldn't have ducked anyone for that much money.

Oscar got a huge gift with the SD loss.

Floyd was being prideful when he chose not to give DLH a rematch: Oscar was trying to call all the shots again when they started to talk about a rematch and Floyd just kind of just told him to get ****ed.

did you see the fight, or did you just check boxrec?

Of course I saw the fight. It was pale in comparison when the judge admitted his scoring error why the Pac vs JMM was a draw. Pac did not *****ing about it and asked JMM for a rematch but JMM turned it down instead he fought Chris John for 35k vs 750k against Pac and lose but he never ask for a rematch vs John. Eventually the rematch did happened and Pac won. So this Pac ducking thing like the *****s cracking line..suck bigtime.

PBF whipped delajojo's ass. Caught delahoto with a punch at the end of the 4th rd that made delahoto grab on. SD was a gift. And as far as a rematch is concerned, delahoto makes anything happen in boxing if HE wants it!!!

floyd wanted more money for the rematch, oscar won't budge so money said no way.

[Willy Wanker]

no freaking way.

and the fight was scheduled to be at 147 or a catchweight lower than 154. so why would floyd fight oscar at 154 (and school him in that fight), but duck a rematch at 147?

oscar won 3, maybe 4 rounds at the most in the first fight. mayweather knows this. one judge was right, one was in the ballpark, but the other judge must have been the ****** that oscar took pics with.

whether floyd ducked pac, cotto, and margarito is a credible argument. but an oscar rematch?

gtfo of here......

In your opinion?
I wasn't following things to closely at that time but it seems like I heard something about a rematch and some people saying that Floyd retired so he wouldn't have to fight Oscar again. Help me out here.

@its a known fact that floyd wanted the rematch at welterweight which was only fair, but shane wouldnt have it. oscar got the lions share 1st fight and rightly so, but he didnt qualify 2nd time round, floyd requested 50/50 at welterweight.

I'll help you out and clear this up nicely for everyone. Firstly let's just mention the SD was a travesty and Tom Kaczmarek (or however you spell it) should have been shot afterwards for scoring it 7-5 for Oscar. It was a clear 8 or 9 rd win for Mayweather. Now that we've established that, the reason this fight didn't happen again is because Mayweather didn't like the financial terms offered for the rematch......which were essentially the same as the first fight. He felt he had a major hand in the buyrate being that high and wanted a larger slice for fight number two.

This didn't happen.....the reitirement was to increase his quote....which it did, both times he retired.

[bojangles1987]

Anyone who says yes is an idiot. You can't duck a fighter you clearly beat, and Floyd clearly beat Oscar.

[Pacquiao'd]

Possibly. He did win handily, so its no worse than Pacquiao ducking a Marquez rematch. But I'd say he didn't want to risk it.
I think "Yes" will be the consensus once this thread really gets going

that fight should have been s ored 9-3UD for floyd. giving DLH 4 rounds is being generous. learn how to score a fight
