Comments Thread For: Mayweather Sr: Beating Rios Don't Get You a Floyd Fight!

[Bigg Rigg]

Manny's lack of income is caused by him resigning with TR. I see no reason why floyd would offer him a deal that makes him more money to offset that.

That said, floyd very easily could've crafted a deal to make sure manny got compensated faily. My guess is he wont because manny walked away the 1st time. I wish floyd would just let the bitterness go over this.

Bro, just stop it. It's like everybody gets it but ya'll. Floyd fans argue PAC fans aren't reasonable but in this case u got all types of fans saying the same thing. Floyd dont want it!!!

My point is - when people say that Floyd's offer is the most Manny ever made - its not true b/c Floyd said TR can't co-promote. his offer was flat 40 mil with GB promoting. big difference. once again, I agree both sides are at fault. but that 40 mil offer was intended to be turned down

I think many think Floyd will beat many. BUT, this is a ifght than Fans have wanted for 3-4 yrs. Pac beating Rios like he did complete shutout showed he has a lot left. As such, now fans, myself included, want to see this fight that we have wanted for yrs. sooo, when we here more excuses like - Pac hasn't "earned" it ( like Guererro did more than Pac to earn a Mayweather fight), especially in light of his career achievements and th fact than they know the fans want to see this fight - it sounds like he's scared - no saying he is, but that's how it sounds

Who is "he?" Because I haven't read anything Floyd Mayweather has said publically in quite awhile now. Last I checked, he's a grown man and can speak for himself. Furthermore. If you've followed Floyd for any amount of time you'd know, his dad has next to nothing to do with Floyd's matchmaking decisions.

Either way. People are pretty dug in on their positions on this issue and opinions aren't gonna change. More importantly, at least to me. What legitimate suggestions do you have to make the fight realistically happen?

He is right

Would love to see a rematch between Pac and Bradly so he can avenge that controversial loss

[rasdun]

I'm sure they could do that. But when roach says he thinks floyd next is the fight they want then Bob makes his comments and the date announcement is clear its not next.

SInce floyd or manny could lose their next fight its too early to discuss sept. SO just be honest about it and have team manny not pretend they want the fight next.

well, we all know "team MANNY" IS always all over the place. but - you just said that just bc Floyd sr. said something doesn't mean than its what Floyd wants. very similar here. just bc one member of the camp said they're fighting 4/12 doesn't mean the other member is "pretending{" to want a fight wit floyd

this is true - BUT, if Floyd wanted the fight, he'd say it - he's never shy to say what he thinks. PLUS, he had just said a couple months ago a whole new group of excuses - he has to eat both Bradley and Marquez 1st; he has tosign wit my promotional company - it just seems that it's always something - that's why I understand when people say he's scared b/c these reason never seem to stop fights with others. Did Moesly have to avenge his loss to Cotto bf fighting Floyd - of course not. did any other fighters have to sign wit Money promotions - of course not. so, why does he say these are impediments to a fight wit Manny

My guessis because i the last 2 years JMM and Tim had to sign with TR as a condition of getting Manny fights. In that instance TR is potecting their interest. Is it unreasonable to assume TMT would do same.

As for avenging, no Manny doesn't have to avenge either loss to be eligible for a floyd fight. That sasid, I think we can agree casual fans, in general, stopped thinking manny could beat floyd after the 2 losses.

From a competitive aspect beating those 2 (and I think he killed tim) probably returns a lot of the lost luster.

You said you weren't going to debate. you asked me to leave you alone . I did. Like Team Manny, youre a liar and a pretender.

Floyd has said that Manndoesnt deserve the fight bc of his losses to Bradley and JMM and that he would have to sign with his promotional company. but he doesn't make other fighters avenge their recent losses - Im sure hn wont have to beat Peterson and Garcia. or join the Money team promotional company. I thibnk we all know Floyd jr has made a lor of "reasons" excuses, whatever for not wanting the fight. so , yes, this was from Sr., but Jr. will not be quick to correct him Im sure

[richardt]

So Guerrero beating the ATG Aydin does?
