Comments Thread For: Mayweather: If they keep paying, keep handpicking them!

Lol. I've been saying this all along.

Floyd made millions off of an ignorant boxing public.

"This guy is a warrior. He's strong and powerful and just destroyed his last opponent. He will knock May weather the **** out. And he has a good background story. I'd love for him to get his shot."

What do you get? PPV sparring sessions.

And Browner is next with the fans picking guys like Maidana.

And from who did you expect Floyd to make hundreds of millions if not from the "ignorant boxing public"? From boxing pundits, philosophers, Nobel Prize winners?

Floyd rides on the fan base of other boxers too. Oh he the PPV king, blah blah.

Reason this fight will do massive numbers is cause of Canelo and the people on the undercards.

This fight card doesn't even get made without Floyd. Garcia/Matthysse would be their own main event and Canelo would be fighting some other WW coming up.

Yes.
FMJr. is like a "metaphysical entity" for the boxing business to date.
I'm sure that FMJr. doesn't know or care what a "metaphysical entity" means, but I think he can just feel that...

Where is the quote of him admitting what the writer said? Floyd is a dumbass, and horribly attempted to be ironic and sarcastic about the payment he gets for these so called hand pick opponents ("If they say these guys were handpicked, they was handpicked to make $40 and $50 and $60 million, then you know what? Keep handpicking them. If they're going to keep paying, keep handpicking them.").

Who ever wrote this knows this, thats why they left their name off the article. I personally think he has handpicked here and there. But thats not what he was saying.

A lot of people didn't see the bias in the first paragraph of the article.

That's kind of my point though. If you can make more money fighting Ricky Hatton than Paul Williams than go with Hatton. The more well known popular guy.

Real boxing fans been knew this

Its just that Floyd realizes that hes an idiot when he says hes an ATG and he can't believe that lie anymore

I rank Calzaghe ahead of Floyd. Not only does he have more wins, he became undisputed champion at 168 and never ducked nobody and wasn't afraid to leave him hometown to fight the best.

Hilarious. Tell this to Glen Johnson. (or CD, RJJ, B-hop for that matter)

NSB, where sarcasm is interpreted as fact only when floyd mayweather is involved.

flom0ez: need to see link, pictures, time and date for proof.

Man, I said this over and over again and Floyd fans kept defending Floyd over and over again.

You will see, even though Floyd admitted to this, Floyd fans will pretend this interview never happened and defend, defend and defend Floyd.

Did you guys read the article?

The fans actually picked Matthysse. If Lucas stops Danny, that fight could potentially happen this year.
