"Mayweather Is Scared" Marketing Tactic

[MtClimber]

How can it be a "marketing tactic" if the 3 previous guys who everyone was claiming he was scared of he never fought! Its a "marketing tactic" if he actually fights them!

Margarito maybe, but Pac and Cotto? I think with Pac it has all to do with Arum. Pac is a puppet, and I think the fight not happening is because of Bob-Floyd candy game.

That would be true, but you also know how dudes will switch on a dime from the Floyd is afraid to the Floyd must see weakness.

I just hope that those who said Floyd is scared will not change to "he gassed out, can't barely beat trout, etc.".

Everyone claimed Mosley scared Floyd after the Marquez fight and Floyd fought him, it sold huge.

^ This.

Their should be an official I was wrong thread. WHere haters can post their hate theories then if proven wrong or right can gloat or receive clowning.

That would work if some people actually had shame about their crackpot theories

Why is every ****** thing Floyd does, explained as a marketing tactic or promotion by his fans?

I wish I could be optimistic about that, but I watched how the Mosley build up played out, it started as he wouldn't dare fight this monster, to the well he signed but he will pull out there is no way it will go through I will respect him if he actually sets foot in the ring, to round 2 when people thought Mosley had something to offer then to round 4 and beyond when he became gun shy Grandpa Mosley.

Now that wasn't everyone, but I would say a vast majority of a certain sect of forumites played it exactly that way~

i really dont see why people are hyping canelo up to beat floyd i understand the kid is good but i saw him live with my own 2 eyes hes nothing special as of yet. also people also act as if cotto is a natural 154 lber when bringing up the canelo weight difference its not the same folks. maybe floyd should have a rehydration clause when and if they fight. if he has 5 more fights as he states then wait until all the fights are done b4 u all start yelling duck the man just had a fight 2 weeks ago calm down

[MtClimber]

you theory is invalid ... it might be valid if for example the pac fight had actually happened but it didn't i.e. the ducking and ****** demands that we hear floyd making are real not P.R to hype the fight/opponent

I think if Pac is with Golden Boy, they probably have rematches now.

Floyd, "I see Shane as old now"

Who claimed he was young?

Even after the testing debacle was settled Floyd came right back with another roadblock. "Pac gets no ppv revenue. I'll pay him a flat fee and I keep the rest" . LOL. You can say that Pac turned down the biggest payday of his career but so did Floyd.

I'm not totally a May fan, but a fan of his boxing skills.

It's my opinion that it just a promotion because I believe that Canelo have no chance of beating him. Now, If I believe that Canelo's the one, then I'll be on the "May is scared" bandwagon.

Before Cotto lost to Margarito they was saying Floyd was scared of Cotto then he was scared to rematch with de la Hoya then pacquiao came around now it's canelo so it's always gonna be Floyd is scared somebody

LMFAO did Floyd fight anyone of them at the time? no he waited till everyone got shot and old because unlike him they were fighting real fights not the guerreros of the world LOL.
