Comments Thread For: Maidana Ponders Move to 147: Eyes Mayweather, Berto

[nycsmooth]

Pleanty of challenges for him @ '40 but @ '47 anyone w/movement will give him more trouble and will his punch be as =??Floyd would make it look like sparring vs him, but he'd have xcellent chance vs Berto...

People has been calling HBO office and they are getting the same answer, "The final PPV buys for the Mayweather/Ortiz fight is not yet in". Leonard Ellerbe and Richard Schaefer both from the Mayweather camp already made an announcement that the fight made a 1.25 million buys. The Mayweather camp can think of any imaginary number but boxing aficionados around the world are not buying their story. A very reliable source made a disclosure few days ago that the fight sold a mere 500K. Even with that number a lot of people are saying that the fight did not sell that much and the live gate proves it. Live gate sold only 8 million dollars. This is way bellow the expected number announced by the Mayweather group and GBP.

Would be Floyd/Gatti all over.. except with Maidana not being as good as Gatti

you gotta like maidanas toughness but at 147 thats as far as it goes.he had problems with morales at a lower weight class so the guys at 147 will be bigger problematic.i actually think ortiz will spank him now.but he has a shot to beat berto but no miracle against mayweather.

Mouth watering fight right there.

I don't even think maidana can beat guererro...

maidana has a chance if berto brawls with him tho

[Rome-By-Ko]

I would love Maidana vs Berto..Make it happen..

[Leohappy]

so the mccloskey fight is officially off? i saw maidana and mccloskey having some talks on twitter about it a few days ago, even though maidana said the offer was very low for the belfast bout.
otherwise it looks like a move to 147, but that category is gonna be really tough in 2012. ortiz,berto,khan,bradley,brook,zaveck,pac,floyd,se nchenko,collazo,malignaggi,alexander,etc.
there is only 2 major titles there held by beatable opponents, and only one is in the US.

I absolutely LOVE Maidana/Berto, Maidana/Ortiz II, Maidana/Bradley, and Maidana/Brook. . .

But Maidana/Mayweather?! GTFO with that. . .
