Richard Schaefer: Mayweather-Alvarez talks set to begin

[The Big Dunn]

floyd will duck him, he will offer canelo like 5m to force him to decline it like he did vs pac, short change the guy lol

canelo should earn around 10m for this fight imo

I say floyd should do what manny did to jmm and tim-offer them crap and instead fight a JWW moving up, coming off a loss, in an action fight. How about floyd judah 2? or the loser of petersen/matthysse.

[bravestone]

Canelo's team will say: "Look at your last two PPV events without ginger attached.

2009- vs JMM, barely over 1 million buys despite JMM having "a whole country behind him." (Floyd's words)
2013- vs Ghost, preliminary #s show sub 1mil PPV buys, great for everyone else, but crappy for Floyd and a money loss for Showtime.
You really want to risk another sub par PPV event against Khan, Alexander, or Garcia?

With that logic why did Mosley/Mora flop then?

Team floyd will say Canelo-how many ppv's have you sold as a main eventer? And then remind him if floyd doesn't fight on 9/14 then JMM/Bradley will.

Hopefully, Canelo asks for something reasonable or floyd offers something reasonable and we get a fight.

[Szef]

He's young and mexican. if thats the case let floyd fight oscar valdez on ppv.

After Valdez fill 40k seats on the stadium sure why not?

[BUNGALOWS]

if the fights made I don't want people to switch up from mayweather ducking canelo to he's fighting a green bum.

And if this fight doesn't get made because of Floyd, don't come up with every excuse in the book for the guy.

Then team Canelo will say "how many PPV's did Guerrero or Ortiz sell? How big of PPV stars were JMM, Mosley, or Hatton before you fought them? Did any of those guys bring 40,000 to their last fight before you signed to fight them? When has that ever been a criteria for a fight with you?
Then team Canelo will drop a shot of Tequila and yell "you just got burned, *****.!!!!!"

[Bushbaby]

I hope this doesn't end up like the Winky Wright negotiations.

huh? dude think about what you just posted.

floyd appears to have done 900k with ghost and no real effort to market on his part. ITs definitely not what floyd is used to and the networks took a hit.

How does 40k (some seats at $10) give you leverage over 900+k (at $69.95) or 1.25 mil (at $59.95)?

Lets be rational here.

[bravestone]

Who the hell is Mora??? He and Mosley have been IRRELEVANT since the mid 2000s.

Yeah even though Mosley crushed Margarito in 2009.

[IronDanHamza]

I hope this doesn't end up like the Winky Wright negotiations.

I'm sure Canelo would jump for joy if Mayweather offered him that kind of money.

Canelo can think again if he's going to get offered that much of the share.
