Comments Thread For: Schaefer: Only Al Haymon, Me Know Floyd-Canelo Details

[KickAzz]

Folks keep bringing Mayweather's 2 fights at 154. Those fights were 5 years apart. Both times he topped out at 151. What's to prevent him from taking this fight with Canelo at 154 and come in weighing the same. He'll still maintain his speed and quickness. They also said he didn't have his legs in those fights. Really!!! Who in their right minds thought he needed his legs against De La Hoya and Cotto. Who in their right mind thinks he'll need his legs against Canelo. Canelo is not out boxing Floyd. And Canelo doesn't have the stamina to chase him around the ring either. No judge in Vegas will have Canelo up after 4 rounds. Unless he clearly is... If and when this fights takes place. The results will be the same as the other 44 for Mayweather. So all this back and forth about the negotiations is irrelevant.

nah... its good that it came out that cherrypicker wanted to fight at 147 lbs, so that cherrypicker will be shamed in the public and fight the ginger at 154 lbs.

You're not getting it. Canelo is going to be at 175 or 180 on fight night while Floyd's probably going to come in a little less than 154, does this weight disparity trouble you at all?

if the ginger can make 154 lbs weight limit, then that's that.

Or are you one of those folks who's willing to overlook this hoping Mayweather is fool enough to agree to something like this all so you folks can rejoice if gets himself knocked out cold?

I dunno why flo.mos are so scared of this scenario... the ginger isn't gonna KO cherrypicker. cherrypicker is too good, but you gotta fight the fights to claim a victory. at best GBP can pay off some judges to rob Cherrypicker, but Cherrypicker can easily counter this by writing in the contract that he gets to approve of atleast 2 judges. Then the ginger can only get 1 paid off judge.

Just add Canelo to the long list of inferior guys that you tards think beat Floyd. Meanwhile I'll still order Canelo-Cotto. When it comes to negotiations...the fanatics haven't the slightest clue wtf is going on. Mr Schaefer ****ted all over you Mr Knowitalls, lmfao!

That's what I as a mayweather fan find so amusing about all of these posts from you and other non floyd fansz. You actually think that you are shaming him into doing something. You guys actually think everything you write about him matters to those who will determine his place in boxing history..

wait a sec, who did floyd sr "cherrypick?"

or do you just feel super accomplished when you use the word cherrypick on the internet

you were a big pee-wee herman fan as a kid, weren't you? it was just a fictitious show man, there isn't really a word of the day, it was all a ruse buddy...

There must be a way to negotiate this fight without all of the hyperbole. Yeah, so lets let the interested parties work out their differences without fan hysteria and prejudice.

Like I said, when you have 2 guys holding a belt in the same division, weight is never negotiable unless you're DLH and a joke of a titlist in that division. But DLH at least stepped in the ring with Hopkins, who's bigger than Canelo. Plus Hopkins only had to concede 2lbs, sounds like Floyd is asking for 7!

Cotto has no issues stepping in vs Canelo or 170+ Trout, and he's proven not as good at SWW as Floyd. Loads more small guys had no health concerns stepping in the ring with Alvarez: Lopez, Hatton, JC Cotto. Mosley was a shot to **** welter and didn't get hurt. But I get it, you see something in Floyd's style that would get him hurt bad against less blown up, closer to prime, fellow SWWs.

That doesn't make sense. You are negotiating a fight involving a fighter without talking to him or his management. Unless negotiations haven't actually begun.

Schaefer doesn't realize how bad his statement goes against common sense and fact. No way in hell is a fight negotiated without Canelo, without Canelo's management, without Floyd!!!! Who the hell does he think he is kidding?

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer continued to push back against reports that the negotiations for a fight between Floyd Mayweather and Canelo Alvarez include a demand that the bout must take place in Mayweather’s division at 147 pounds rather than at Alvarez’s division at 154 pounds.

Alvarez’s trainer told boxing writer Erika Montoya that Mayweather wants the fight at 147. In addition, Floyd Mayweather Sr. said earlier this week that the fight would need to take place at welterweight, according to an article by Chris Robinson of BoxingScene.com. [Click Here To Read More]

Schaefer is wrong! All the experts who post on this message board know what goes on in negotiations because they get their infomation from reliable sources like Fat Dan Rafael and his anonymous sources and geniuses like Floyd Mayweather Sr. and Alvarez's trainer. Damn you Richard Schaefer for setting the record straight!

[I Love Jesus!]

Sure thats why pacweather never happened. So is it so hard to believe Haymon told floyd or that floyd knows what was said in the negotiations and he told his father or the same with Canelo? Richard Shaffer thinks everyone else is a moron. The guys a creep
