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

[Sugar Adam Ali]

What you're failing to realize is that DK and Arum had a great working relationship. GBP and TR's relationship couldn't be worse. So IMO one isn't gonna be involved. So at that point, it boils down to who's the odd man out. Floyd isn't contractually obligated to GBP. So I assume it would be easier for him to leave them out in the cold and let Arum run the show. But can you really see Floyd, who's currently in the driver's seat, allowing Arum to be the primary promoter of one of his shows?

There was alot of bad blood between arum and king for many years, but they never let that stop them from making money.. They beefed over chavez, superfights of the 80s, plus foreman was with arum and king had tyson in the 90s and that caused alot of strife,, they did not have a great working relationship at all, but they got it done when money was on the line

Floyd Sr wants Khan. Let him have Khan. Let's see if Showtime is willing to lose money again. They probably didn't even make a profit in the Canelo fight.

So is it Floyd's responsibility to make GBP and Arum get along to make this happen? Or is it up to Oscar, SchaeferM and Arum to be adults and put aside their differences to make not only Floyd-Pac, but many other great match-ups (IMO better match-ups than Floyd-Pac) that aren't happening because of the beef?

The funny thing is that no one has a better resume than pac, so unless floyd retires, his father's logic is ridiculous.

When Pac was beating Cotto, DLH, hatton, Pac was too impressive and still didn't get a Floyd fight.

Floyd is a ditherer and he don't know what he want and then the moment passed. He blames people not being qualified to fight him as if you have to be superman to fight him? So you ask him to fight Sergio and then Floyds fan say he is held to a higher standard people ask Floyd to fight middleweights? But instead of fighting middleweights he drains Canelo?
When Pac had the nickname of superman, Floyd said he needs PED tests.
So its one excuse after the other.

It was. And flopped miserably.

Calzage-Hopkins wasn't a PPV.

So how do they make the fight happen?

Was referring to Jones-Calzaghe and it was on PPV.

Yes and what were the final numbers for that?

The Mayweather shuffle.That's what I call the fact that these guys keep talking about how bad little floyd is. Pacquiao has the gate to fight little floyd, but little floyd don't got the stones to fight Pacquiao, and all the Mayweather clowns/jailbirds know it.

Little floyd's speed has kept him winning. Pacquiao's speed can match little floyd, and Pacquiao has much,much more power.

I don't blame little floyd. Why fight a guy that will probably knock you out. Remember. little floyd is slowing down, and SHAME Mosley almost knocked little floyd out.

So how do they make the fight happen?

I knew it wasn't I watched it live and I sure as hell wasn't going to pay for it haha

Calzage-Hopkins wasn't a PPV.

But I was referring to Calzaghe-Jones. My bad if I said Hopkins.
