Comments Thread For: Merchant Doubts Mayweather vs. Canelo Will Be Next

Merchant would be surprised.

If Floyd wins his next fight, Alvarez fight will definitely happen. Canelo didn't exactly impressed me. There were lots of moments where he was inactive and appeared vulnerable.

Canelo vs Mayweather will happen.

Trout/Alvarez was mostly fought on the outside. That will be very attractive to Floyd.

A unification fight with 3 belts on the line would be considered a cherrypick? Think that one over.

Martinez has a contractual obligation to HBO. Floyd has a contractual obligation to Showtime. Any fight between them is now impossible.

Shouldn't it be that regardless of what network you have a contract with, the fight should still take place? Why can't both Networks show the fight? Then as fans, we can pick what Network we want to watch the fight on based on the announcers coverage, etc. No different than when we watch politics. I watch MSNBC, others may watch Fox. Discussing the same thing, but each network will present its own views and opinions to the story.

Why in the hell would they want to split it when they can have it all to themselves?

I forgot about Martinez 3 fight HBO deal

Canelo will fight COTTO, not Mayweather...

Well if the fight is big enough it does make some sense, but there would need to be no other reasonably close options at their disposal.

Floyd-Martinez is big but not that big and there are plenty of fights that can equal it at least from Floyd's/Showtimes perspective.

Yea I wouldn't like that fight at all. I wasn't a Canelo fan before last night cuz in the past Canelo picked on the little guys, Floyd should be fighting WW's and SWW's.

Canelo holds 2 belts at 154 right now, a Mayweather fight would be for 3 belts/all the marbles. It would be huge mega fight right now, they both have huge fan bases..

canelo picks on little guys floyd is a little guy

[_original_]

So a few months ago it was, "Floyd better not cherrypick the green Canelo."


Now it's, "Floyd is gonna duck the beast that is Canelo, he'd never fight him!"

[jabnhold]

canelo mayweather is a possibility simply because of the lack of competition for floyd at ww.
anyway why is a fight between floyd and the winner of matthyse/peterson or garcia wrong i think those are good fights

I dunno why Floyd would duck this kid, easy money... if Floyd does duck him, it's inconceivable, but then he ducked Pac so anything could happen
