Comments Thread For: Mayweather Tabs Elegele For Sparring Ahead of Guerrero

[nycsmooth]

I'd be curious to know how much money Floyd pays his sparring partners.

In the old days, before Clay, boxers were paid by the round when Clay came he paid(rather his over-priced attorneys that drained him) by contract as he went thru many 4 many reasons. Quick story: When he just turned pro he hired a guy outta Augusata, GA, Solomon McTier(spelling?), National amateur champ in '56, he knocked young Cassius down several times in 1 session & was gone, & Soloman was a small Hvy Wt...Solomaon got his $$.

Probably higher than most would get paid to go into a lesser paid fighters camp. One would assume.

I would assume the same thing; that's the reason I bring it up. For a guy getting paid 30 mil dollars for his next fight, I suspect his sparring partners are paid quite nicely.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

No matter; never will they be satisfied

I believe Floyd has fought all the best opponents in his weight class; a number of people do not believe "The Ghost" is good enough. If he is not good enough I'm interested in knowing who is in (147) weight class?

I pick Robert to win! Floyd will land a million right hands, and Robert wont feel it for a second! When Berto had him staggered, he NEVER stops swarming! Floyd wont even stagger the guy anyway! Floyd's lack of power will hunt him in this fight! Also Robert dont telegraph! Cotto was shot and slow, and he landed slow left hands! Robert is going to BEAT Floyd's ass! His power at ww is AMAZING too! He should have gotten a 3rd round TKO over Berto! I am willing to make bets on here, but I dont know how! Add me, and later on we can talk! Robert will win, and I dont think it will even be close! Mares-Moreno style, Cotto-Judah style! No power=Assbeating!

Good story, but Clay? Who are you, Patterson or Terrell?

Call it bs, you predict a winner based on hype! "Aww Floyd's unbeatable, Robert eats right hands, he is a light weight!" Floyd's lack of power is going to catch up to him, and if slow ass cotto can land left hands, Robert is going to beat Floyd's ass, I dont even see it as being a close fight! Robert does NOT telegraph! Hit me up on fightweek, and I WILL be making bets! Im not changing my prediction! And btw, everyone in the media who knows boxing, knows how hard it will be for Floyd! Only dumb fans who base their predictions on hype, havent really sat and thought about BOTH fighter's LAST fight!
