Comments Thread For: Duran: In My Era, Mayweather Would've Been Ordinary

[Fetta]

At the time, knowing how much Floyd LOVES money, and $9mil being a ton of money for him, if I'm as confident as Floyd about my skills, I take the $9mil.

Problem is, the risk wasn't worth the reward...

hey, it's paying off for Floyd now...he's making $32mil minimum a fight, whereas if he fought all the guys I mentioned, he'd have taken his lumps and probably been retired now...or at the very least, not undefeated...

You speak of money on one post with Pac then say he should have stayed and took the 9 mil but then say its paying off now cause he didnt. Your logic is almost as dizzying as Arums spins.

Sorry, it was $8mil...and yeah, you saw it before--on ESPN.

I said he turned down $8mil, a career purse for him I believe, at the time, to fight Baldomir?

He was on good terms according to the article, with Bob Arum, who also said it was his riskiest fight at the time...not sure what you mean here lol

That your continue to contradict yourself

duran is right. just look at floyd's resume. there's no big name there that closely matches any of the fab four. maybe cotto and gatti, but they're already shot to pieces when he fought them. prime margarito would have murked mayweather, but he avoided the mexican like plague. but that would have been forgotten if he fought and beat the biggest fish of this era. he ducked him like a plague also.

I got no problem with floyd fighting baldomir instead of margs....

it was for the lineal champoinship--- Cant blame a guy for taking a lineal championship match,,, unless your a hater,,,
Plus he got 8 mil for baldomir,, same as he would have gotten for the margs fight

Riiigghhhtt...

I guess I just pick real fighters to root for that I don't need to make excuses for

Its ok your new here and when i came on i thought i knew the sport too but some of these guys are obsessed and especially this subject so maybe research it and come back cause if you dont itll be a frustrating time on NSB.

At the same time most make up crap as they go cause they think it went down this way.

But i will say i learned alot and made me pay much more attention to sport
