In the aftermath of Zab Judah’s derailment, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. may have been left out in the cold without a recognized dance partner for April 8. A battle with Zab Judah was on the eve of becoming a reality for Mayweather’s second headline appearance on pay-per-view. A reality until Judah broke down against unheralded Carlos Baldomir from Argentina.
It was scenario reminiscent of Terry Norris being knocked out by Keith Mullings in what Norris called a simple tuneup towards his already agreed upon superfight with Oscar De La Hoya. Unexpectedly Norris was stopped, his career never recovered and a very anticipated fight with De La Hoya never took place.
The question is where Mayweather goes from here? There have already been feelers sent from people involved with Mayweather to Mike Marley, the adviser of Baldomir. Unless there is an abundance of money in the fight, it won’t not happen. The people behind Baldomir are not dummies, they know what Carlos can and can’t do. A fight against Mayweather for a minor amount of money is a sucker’s deal. At this point Baldomir can defend his title in Argentina for a decent amount of coin. [details]
