Floyd Mayweather: "I Only Want One Person, Pacquiao...Why Is He Duckin' And Dodgin'

[Barry Halls]

I wouldn't even pay 10 dollars for May-Cotto. I would spend those 10 dollars and order some Chinese food, and if there's a UFC PPV on trying to compete with the Floyd PPV, I would gladly pay the 50 bucks or whatever it cost for the UFC ppv.

Same for Manny if he doesn't fight Bradley.

Which fights with Floyd would you pay for? Martinez yep, Pac yep. Obviously.

But other than that?

Oh i saw you already said Martinez/Lara/Williams , nevermind.

[Doctor_Tenma]

Mayweather vs Lara would be an amazing boxing match. Probably the second best fight after Mayweather vs Martinez.

He might not get 25million for Lara, but he'd get a hell of a lot of respect from me and I'm sure from a lot of boxing fans.

I know it won't happen, but it's one of my dream fights. Mayweather is entitled to go after the biggest pay checks he can get, he's the one going in there and risking his health. All it takes is one bad punch to change a boxers life. But with that said, I just don't want him to fight Cotto. I wouldn't even stream that fight.

Martinez/Lara/Williams are fights I would like to see because those are the only three guys I can see winning at least 4-5 rounds against Floyd right now, and who knows maybe they can win.

I can't see Pacquiao even winning 2 rounds against Mayweather, actually that's the lmit I would predict him winning, 2 rounds at best, and that's pushing it. And Cotto doesn't win one decisive round against Floyd.

He looked very good against a Paul Williams who was coming off a knock out lost, before that he didn't impress me one bit against Brewer or Molina, and showed great vulnerability in those two fights. He has no inside game and needs to up his activity too, he's a capable fighter though but even Cotto right now, who isn't in his prime, would beat Lara in my opinion. Maybe Lara gets exposed, maybe he doesn't, I honestly don't think 154 is as strong as it's made out to be.

Naa Mayweather will start off slow and lose a few rounds. I give Pac 4 rounds early on. Cotto can win 3 early on too. Once Mayweather adjusts he completely schools them in a embarrassing like fashion. So much that *******s will make an excuse as to why Pac looked so bad.

[Doctor_Tenma]

Oh it's going to sell, I know it is. So of course it's going to be on PPV. But, that is what makes it a joke of a fight Dom.

Why anyone would defend it or try to justify it in anyway is beyond me. Is it better than Canelo or Guerrero. Yea it is, I won't argue that. But, making that fight and having to charge 60 bucks for it...it's a joke.

It's definitely a mismatch, no disrespect to Miguel. Although he's not his prime Miguel's problem has always been that he's never been able to put it all together, predominantly being one handed, backing up in a straight line and staying on the ropes for too long against Paquiao, not clinching against Margarito in their first bout. His last time up, even given how Margarito was done, he looked impressive in that he finally fixed some things. Maybe, maybe he can make it a little interesting, if that.

It's not a fight I wanted, although I would easily prefer it over Canelo and Guerrero, but it's safe to say we're stuck with some bad options if he's unable to get Pacquiao. Floyd staying active is important, especially before he does time. Gotta consider that he's only fought 4 rounds.

Exactly. Than, Mayweather-Martinez is a C+.


If Mayweather-Cotto at 154 is a C-, than Pacquiao vs. Cotto at a 145 CW was a D+, Pac vs. Hatton was a C-, Pac vs. Clottey was an F-, Pac vs. Margarito was an F+, and Pac vs. Mosley was a D-.

Really. I get that Jro wants Mayweather-Pacquiao, we all do, but that can't happen until Manny gets the ball rolling and agrees to may 5th and gets his damn promoter to make it happen.

So by your grades. You're saying Floyd-Cotto NOW is more legit than Pac-Cotto was. And, that both Pac-Marg and Pac-Mosley was more legit than Pac-Clottey.

, OK.

[-Kev-]

I don't know why, it's def not fanboyism, but I always saw May-Pac as a mismatch. Z-.

PPV numbers wise, and how much money it would generate, it's an AAA+.

The match up always ****** to me, and from 2008 till now when the Floyd-Pac talks started, it's always been laughable to me. I laugh at any one who gives Pacquiao even a slim chance at beating Floyd or even giving him a challenge. Pacquiao would look like a clown in there with Floyd. By the 3rd round he would be thinking "Why didn't I just listen to my promoter, Bob Arum. He knew what was best for me all along".

[jrosales13]

I've always said Cotto was not that good but I'm happy he got his revenge vs Margarito. He's proven himself and deserves a Mayweather fight if Pac won't fight Mayweather.

Back in 2009, Mayweather vs Pac was an A+, now It's a B+ in my books.

So Cotto avenging his defeat against a shot to pieces Margarito means he proved himself and deserves a fight now.

, OK.

[PrinceCharlez]

Manny Pacquiao agrees to fight May 5th.

“To all of my fans…Mayweather just needs to agree to and accept a 50 percent split, and if he does, then the fight will go through. He’s the one who needs to agree,”

“He’s the one who has to say yes. The reason is because he talks to a lot of people. He has a lot of representatives. If he takes the fight, he can make $50-to-60 million. That’s how much he can make.”

“I want to fight him. This is the fight the world wants. Mayweather wants a guaranteed purse, so what he has to do is get a promoter who can give him the guarantee,” said Pacquiao.

“I don’t have problems getting a guarantee because I have a promoter who will give me my guaranteed purse. If he gets a guarantee, then we are going to share the revenue on a 50-50 basis.”

PACsmash u been d!ck riding all week....please take the rest of the day off with pay

[-Kev-]

Which fights with Floyd would you pay for? Martinez yep, Pac yep. Obviously.

But other than that?

Oh i saw you already said Martinez/Lara/Williams , nevermind.

Even the Berto-Ortiz winner, Canelo, Kirkland, Bradley.

And just for fun, Marcos Maidana.

There's only two fights I would not support at all, and that's vs The Ghost and Cotto.

If you want me to explain why I would pay for May-Canelo but not Cotto, I would explain. Just ask me.

[jrosales13]

You feel it's basically Pac/Martinez or retire?
In a perfect world it would be those two but I'd be surprised if he had the courage to fight Martinez, and it looks like Pac doesn't have the courage to fight Floyd.

We know Floyd will only do ppv-fights.

If not retire then might as well would have went to jail and see what was out there on the fall.

If Canelo beats someone like the winner of Kirkland-Molina. Lets say Kirkland, then I would consider Canelo a legit fight for Floyd.

If Cotto beats the winner of JCC Jr-Rubio in June, lets say JCC Jr. Then I would consider it a legit match up for Floyd.

You're right that Floyd won't have the courage to fight Martinez and Pac doesn't have the courage to fight Floyd.

But, I just don't understand how some can say that a fighter has proven themselves or deserves something by beating shot to pieces fighters and journeymen. That makes no sense to me.
