    Pac ducked Mosley after he took apart Margs, So what?

    What does that have to do with Mayweather/Marquez being a tuneup or not?

      Bro believe me,I know Pacman is a ducker,but U said that Marquez called out Floyd,I decided to inform U that so did Margarito along with many other fighters(in his weight class).

        You're right. They shouldn't. Hey, that's life though. If you don't like the fight, don't order it. If you like the fight, watch it. If you like the fight and don't wanna order it, stream.

        There are multiple ways you can watch these fights without paying. So stop b*tching. Be glad there are streams nowadays. Back in the early 2000s we had no streams. We had to wait a week to watch it on HBO, which is something you could also do. So stop complaining.

          Someone please tell me this Spadafora rumor is like the ones of Floyd fighting a 19 year old Alvarez or Matty Hatton.

            Uhm, Marquez called Floyd out, not the other way around. The same way he's doing Manny now. He doesn't give a **** what weight he has to fight at to get the fights.

            The former p4p #1 and current p4p #2 fought each other and it did over a million buys. Marquez got punked and Floyd got out with hardly a scratch. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the fight, I don't like watching Floyd either, but that fight was a success in every which way.

            Calling it a tuneup is an insult to Marquez. He's one of the best fighters in the world and he did his best.
            Taking on a fighter who had never been ranked at 140 or 147 because he had never fought above 135 is a tune up. Don't start posting fight night weights or whatever. It was a mismatch. Plain and simple. It would be like Andre Ward fighting Andre Berto. If a fight is made with the purpose of there being an extremely low risk factor, then it is a tune up.

            To this date, Marquez hasn't fought above 135.

              No... in boxing, you have to fight anyone who calls you out.

              Why do you think Jerman Taylor's career went to ****? He didn't fight Vic Darchinyan when he called him out, and will be forever known as a ducker. As someone who fights everyone, Floyd did the right thing by fighting Marquez when he called him out.

                    If it makes $, it belongs on PPV
                    I wouldn't want them to buy it for whatever Floyd is willing to fight for, all that means is we get less fight for the year. Floyd would blow HBOs entire budget, so let him fight a tuneup on PPV that I won't watch and will badly fail if he wants to do that.
