Comments Thread For: Mayweather Confident 'The One' Will Become Number 1

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

He’s obligated for five more fights, including the one on tap this weekend. But as far as Floyd Mayweather is concerned, all roads in his career have led to this very moment.

All eyes are on his vacant lineal super welterweight championship with Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez this Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The event has been sold out for months, generating the highest live gate total in boxing history with more than $19 million in tickets sold mere hours after officially going on sale.

The mark eclipsed his own record set – albeit as the B-side from a marketing standpoint – in his 2007 clash with Oscar de la Hoya. That event remains the benchmark to which all others are measured in terms of financial success. No other boxing pay-per-view card has come within sniffing distance of topping its mark of more than 2.4 million units sold.

That will remain true at least through September 13, though perhaps not much longer than that. [Click Here To Read More]

So now he is `The one`what comes next, he starts to refering to himself as God.

I really hope Floyd loses, not because I like Canelo more but because I fear what kind of egomaniacal monster he will become if he wins, and we as boxing fans are forced to listen to his insanity

You gotta be kidding me? What kind of b/s is this?

This is not a personality sport. Personality's can't help either of them in the ring.

You call yourself a boxing fan? That must be kinda hard while clutching onto those my little pony's?

Gtfoh with that.

... This is another guy -- he's SOG...

I'm not interested on who is winning, as long as we get a great fight...
(But I think that if Canelo wins, it's more likely to finally have a Manny-Floyd fight...)

Have they been talking this ridiculous "biggest fight in the history of the sport" crap the whole time?

I don't know, but it's embarrassing.

Id hope manny would fight canelo at 152, hit and run him, and then confuse boxing fans for years

Manny doesn't fight at 152...
... Nor Canelo -- he just can't make this weight again (in case he would make it on Saturday -- which I doubt...)

manny pacquiao is still the biggest name in boxing despite his ko loss to jmm...that would be the biggest fight of all time...

if manny gets past rios, pac-chicken floyd would be inevitable...if chicken floyd got some balls...
