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

[richardt]

Can you honestly, with a straight face say Pac's recent resume is better than any other potential Floyd opponent between 140 and 154?

Pac is ranked high, is considered the top fight for Mayweather, and he has earned the shot as much if not more than Guerrero. Next.

You can forget the truth if you want to, but Pac ****ed up by wanting to know when the cutoff date was for RANDOM testing.

Lol what is this steroid testing again. You flowmos back to this excuse again hahaha! You guys are running out of excuses and you bring this old non relevant issue now. Geez you guys sound desperate hehe!

Pacquiao you're next when when we think your not a threat anymore haha!

True but thats an awful strong statement seeing as those wins were cotto @ 145 in 2009, clottey in 2010 and shane in 2011.

And they are still as good wins if not better than Aydin.

OK fine. How do they realistically make the fight happen?

I ask again. Realistically, how to they make the fight happen?

The only way I see this fight happening is if they bring in 2-3 CPA's and have them figure out exactly how much revenue each guy brings in over he last 10 fights and then split everything that way. It probably favors Floyd considerably more but Arum would have no argument, numbers don't lie. In other words, a third party would determine the split based on facts and financial records of revenue. My guess, Floyd gets 65%, Pac 35%.

Do you realize how contradicting a statement this is? On one hand, you're basically admitting that Pac is in decline and you wouldn't give Floyd full credit for beating him. Yet on the other hand, you're screaming to anyone that will listen that Floyd is scared ****less of Pac. If Pac is in decline and beating him is no big deal. Why do you wanna see the fight so badly?

Beating Cotto in 2012 wasn't the same as beating him in '08. So beating PAC in 2014 isnt the same as beating him in 2010. So I give credit but not that much because they are not in their prime anymore. And Floyd could have fought them then it's not like he just came along n the only version he had a shot at fighting was the declined ones. And Floyd scared for some reason. It's very obvious to everyone. And the reason I wanna see Floyd fight him is because Pacquiao is better then anyone Floyd has fought in the last 5 yrs.

You are basically saying Manny earned the fight based on what he's done in the past. Floyd sr is basically saying what have you done for me lately. Both points are valid, with the caveat that floyd sr is an idiot who no one should listen to.

Manny doesn't get an emeritus spot in everyone's mind. He does in yours because you are a huge fan.

If we look at the fight as an event-manny has more than earned it. If we look at it as a shot at the lineal title- a win over Rios doesn't elevate him past Tim or JMM for that. IMO he is ahead of every other ww accept these 2.

OK I understand the financial issues, which BTW are another likely stumbling block. But I was speaking moreso about how do they realistically get around all the promotional, and now network issues?
