Comments Thread For: Mayweather on The Khan Rumors, Picking Next Foe

Lol. This dude acts like he actually is part of fmj's advisory team. Reading the contracts and the whole nine. Lol

Naw, this dude actually reads multiple sources to form his opinion.

Please don't knock on my door when the do not disturb sign is on the handle. wake me when manny signs to fight.

He's not even in the division-he's a JWW. He might be the least deserving JWW too after Rios.

Preach! At least Rios got his payday as a third option tho...had he been a front runner first option all hell would've broken loose. I don't like how Khan did Devon but Porter is happy as hell it happened lol.

rios is the 3rd option just as khan is the 4th. Manny is coming back 4/12/14, Tim Bradley said no way he is fighting floyd and danny said he isn't ready yet.

All jokes aside-this post is very interesting. I'm not going to say showtime is making floyd fight Khan-but it wouldn't surprise me if one of the conditions of the deal was that 1 fight had to be khan or SHowtimes/GBP's choosing given espinoza's background.

STill a ****ty, crap fight I hope doesn't happen.

hey i aint saying that either but what im saying is Showtime is certainly pushing floyd's team towards matching him with fighters that can sell, Khan falls in that bracket as well as Pacquaio.

showtime offered him a ridiculous large amount of money for that 6 fight deal and they gonna make sure that they get their mileage.

I can live with a Bradley vs Pacquaio fight, one thing that turned me towards Pacquaio a bit was him saying he wanted to avenge his ko. I respect that because even if I felt he'd get put to sleep again he was willing to have another go at it. Khan never wanted any parts of Prescott again and I feel if Khan fights Maidana again he'd get slumped. Garcia to me is a bigger version of Mikey Garcia, big punchers but honestly i'm not sold on them yet.

Mayweather vs Garcia is a better fight then Khan but I think that if Mayweather wants a real challenge he should fight Lara.

That would be a sick fight. I believe Lara would be a tougher fight than a fight against Paquiao

I thought manny beat tim by a wide margin so I dont see the need for a rematch. But obviously there will be one. Tim/manny or manny/provodnikov (my choice) is fine.

Floyd-id rather him fight sergio @160 for lineal MW.

Of course what else is expected out of the massive amount of phony boxing purists in here who make their argument completely centered around financials. You are so great a boxing fan that you are ok with a fight not being made over money...yeah that sounds to me just like someone whose opinions i should respect. I've bashed both men, you've veiled one and demonized the other. When it's all said and done they won't write he offered $40 million, they'll write Floyd and Manny never fought. The fact remains both men are at fault, doesn't matter how you paint it, doesn't matter what your opinion on one vs the other is..both men didn't fight. Keep on doing you bro, i've seen all I need to see in these exchanges.

The reality is SOMEBODY WILL MAKE MEGA-DOLLARS OFF THIS FIGHT!!! It would be very ignorant to overlook that. I have watched the whole process and no one will ever convince me that Manny's turning down the fight because of OST doesn't spell guilt!!! This is PRIZEFIGHTING!!! These guys fight for MONEY not for our amusement!!! Floyd can't do more than personally challenge Manny!!! Then he had the state of Las Vegas backing him on the last challenge!!! Afraid of needles? 18 days before the fight? Cut won't be healed? We need to build a bigger stadium? I would but Floyd's going to jail? Come on dude, let's be real about this Floyd can't make Manny fight him and Floyd shouldn't be held accountable for making it happen. Hasn't Floyd earned the right to being the A-side. What A-side in the history of boxing had to chase the B-side?

[boliodogs]

While Pacman gets knocked out and schools Rios, its not good enough he has to knock out bradley and Marquez first, how come Khan doesn't have to rematch prescott or Garcia first before he fights Floyd?

I am glad you noticed Pacquiao schooled Rios. What happened to your prediction that Rios was 100% certain to KO Pacquiao and that you were NEVER wrong about things like this???? My computer has been down so I never heard your explanation of why you were so completely wrong about the Pacquiao-Rios fight. Nobody is never wrong about how a fight between two top pros will end. Nobody knows for certain who will win until the fight is over.

Everyone should not someone should...there is more than enough money to go around. Being one half of a historically record setting event requires being paid accrodingly for it..that's the one factor that seems to escape people but ok. I respect your opinion even if I disagree Floyd should be making almost 90% by himself...that to me is ludicrous but if you are okwith that cool. To each their own. If Manny won't fight him? You mean after this "He'd have to join TMT, get rid of arum, and take whatever I offer him" sorry that doesn't sound to me like someone interested in fighting and someone with absolutely unrealistic expectations of his worth. I love Floyd and have followed Floyd for close to ten years but the fact remains he's entirely too greedy in a situation where regardless of what he concedes in order to make a fight he still walks away with unbreakable earnings records. Even at 50/50 Floyd sees more money than he ever has..so that works both ways. You want to make the fight? Put up a ridiculously large offer out there that they can't refuse if not..well it ain't gonna happen. That much we know.
