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

[laudium]

So, I guess beating Berto Got Guererro the Shot against Floyd - MIguel Cotto got Man Handled By Pacquaio - and then Cotto gets a shot at Floyd. Who did Oritz Beat to get a shot @ Floyd. Mayweathers, put the excuses aside, I think FLoyd can beat Manny, but he needs the courage to make it happen. Camp MAyweather have always seen PAc as a threat, and although I think FLoyd can Beat Pacquaio, likewise, Pacquaio can beat Floyd in a 12 round fight.

youre misunderstanding what Im saying - its not about a bad deal with the promoter. Its about whether its a joint promotion or strictly a GB promotion. the flat fee didn't even allow TR or Manny to share in the promotion - 40 mil and that's it - for a potential 300 mil fight

From my understanding the 40 million was Manny's purse and had nothing to do with co-promoting or anything along those lines...Mayweather is not gonna change his pay structure to help TR or Manny financially.

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

So according to Floyd Jr, Pac needs to avenge loses to get in the mix. What's wrong with that? Its not like he said he needs to dig up the cats that knocked him out in his flyweight days. He's just saying Pac needs to reestablish himself as an elite fighter.

As for changing promotional companies. Did Bradley not have to ink a TR deal to get Pac? Did JMM not have to ink a TR deal to get Pac? Did Floyd not have to ink a GBP deal to get DLH? Its a pretty standard practice when one wants a fight with a mega star.

As for Khan. First of all, Floyd hasn't made a single comment concerning Khan one way or another. And even if that's the route he goes. Which for the record I hope he doesn't. Because of the GBP-TR beef, Khan is a much more makeable fight than Pac. So its basically an apples and oranges situation.

I find it curious how what Mayweather Sr. says is gold but when Arum or Roach say that Manny is scared of needles it's tossed to the side because Manny himself didn't say it.

Maybe you should read the rest of my statement. Maybe.

I already read and Rios is not the one being discussed for a shot. The BOTTOM line is Guerrero was NO MORE WORTHY of a shot than Pac, regardless of Aydin/Rios. Crackhead Mayweather Sr is full of crap!

[The Big Dunn]

Mean more??? Hell no. Maybe the same but not more. And meaning the same does NOT make Guerrero any more worthy of fighting Floyd than Pac, period. This is not up for debate whatsoever.

Manny is far more deserving than Ghost on paper, no question.

That said,Ghost beat floyd's #1 ranked contender (we can question AYdin's ranking of course) became the mndo and got the fight. Thats how things used to be.

Pac earned the by being an Atg, winning 8 world titles and going on possibly the greatest run of wins boxings ever seen.

He doesn't need a marque win to get this fight, that's ridiculous especially when you look at the other options Floyd is considering.

This is what they don't get? PAC is royalty an Atg has to deserve to Floyd?
Sr. KFC is spooked again.

Bring on khan he deserves a shot

No one is saying Mayweather jr is turning down the fight. Your statement is irrelevant to the discussion.

So is Mayweather Sr's yet it's being discussed.
