As Straight As It Is...Mayweather

[Rico1965]

From a fan based prospective yes Mayweather dodged some competitive fights but from a business point he took the smart rout. He's made more money fighting fighters he knew he can beat and still made mad money because we as boxing fans still paid to watch it......I'm guilty. Yes it frustrating that he doesn't fight the best but as fans we need to quit buying these noncompetitive fights so the promoter will match their fighters the public wants to see. I'm not buying the Pacquiao vs Mosley fight I'll just air till someone post the fight on YouTube. Until we as boxing fans quit buying all of these in house fights maybe just maybe other promoter will put their best against the best. IMO it's just to easy to fix a fight when you fight for the same promoter. Just my thoughts.

Mayweather ask for more than 50% and got it against Pac? Talk about lying to suit your thread lol.

Yeah, don't you remember?

Remember when he outright ducked Joshua Clottey too??

Blah Blah... Ducked who?!?!? Cotto??? Margarito?? What is Tony gonna do besides block with his face??? Tired of all these people bringing him up like he has a chance... 7 people have beaten Tony, I think Floyd MIGHT be able to figure him out. Cotto IMO would be a good fight for Floyd but its ARUM who won't allow Miguel to fight Floyd/Sergio. He hid Cotto after the Floyd/Gatti fight saying "he's still too green".. Floyd said before he would love to fight Cotto. Arum has never jumped on it as a promoter even knowing they could make millions together.

Bottom line is they said he was scared of Corrales when he was undefeated... Ricky when he was undefeated... Shane after his destruction of....Margarito!!! If you look at the timing of when Floyd fights people you'll see that he fights them when they are in a high moment unlike Pacman. Its easy to look now and say Corrales wasn't all that or Ricky or Shane or Oscar... But he dared each and every time to face them... He WILL fight Pacman and Cotto... He knows he HAS to... problem is he and Arum have too many differences because I believe even Pacman wants to take the tests and do this fight. Arum needs to let his fighters fight!!! He even admitted he wants to make Gamboa/Lopez ONLY when its convenient for him when we all know they should be fighting next. Fighters work for BOB ARUM, not the other way around... I can't wait for Bob to be absent from boxing...

co-sign

lets not forget his victory over gerardo hernandez... another career defining fight. manfreddy being on a 25 fight winning streak is also notable.

Didn't pacquiao ask for specific gloves/Weight 10m punishment for being over? didn't these get agreed too? didn't 50/50 get agreed to even though it's proven Floyd is a bigger draw (not by a huge margin). Why can't Pac accept full OST and we will see if Floyd really has no balls

Mayweather demanded more than 50%. The split was 53-47 in favor of Floyd. But Pac wanted 50 split. So Arum flew to Philippines and made up the 3% difference with his own money. So, it made it look 50% split.

Like i said, just like a magnet.

@ever seen floyd get knocked tfo twice?? put on his ass by a straight left {nedal hussien]?? come back when it happens, you might have an argument

I've seen ESPN called him a COWARD though. They say Manny Pacquiao is the GREAT HERO from ASIA.

wifebeater is a ducker. he only fights fights that he knows he won't lose.

Stopped reading as soon as I saw Clottey's name. You sir are a complete clown. Find a different sport to follow.
