Comments Thread For: SA scramble for Floyd Mayweather's visit on Wednesday

[hhs661]

Oh sure, yeah right, he wants to build his next fight off a guy that lost 2 of his last three fights? Does he really want to associate his name with a guy whose own trainer linked him to potential doping courtesy of the shake master himself, Ariza? Right, an African American in South Africa (lotta black people there) is going to build his name off of a Filipino? Do you have any concept of how ******ed this sounds?

BTW, the article isn't about Manny, but Pac's brain dead army is on a constant hunt for anything that reinforces the inept narrative they have of Floyd Mayweather.

I was being sarcastic.. simply because if he were to talk about him, that's exactly what they'd say. That "Floyd stays using Manny's name."

If he weren't, they'd label him a coward... Get it?

[CLUE]

I agree about tough questions but is this forum appropriate to answer questions about future opponents?

Any forum is, the problem as you have seen the past years is that instead of Floyd becoming a better speaker with age it seems he has become worse. His public answers to easy or hard questions are usually horrible. He responds in cliches and rehearsed answers, and gets frustrated when that does not work.

Even someone like Broner knows how to talk circles around questions and be witty.

fair points. But often when "celebreties" or dignitaries go to events they limit certain questions as not to take away from the event. I also think CBS/Sho has mandated he cut out certain things as part of the deal.

He definitely tries to hard to be polite and non controversial which definitely is not in his nature.

Khan better hope he gets FM's fight 2 pay 4 all his hangers-on or if he wants 2 say, his "entourage"...

Mayweather: "South Africa is one hell of a country"

[anonymous2.0]

South Africa, of all countries. This is the land of the late Great Mandela. One of the people who tried to make the fight happen. Unfortunately, Money Mayweather was too scared to risk his zero. This guy disappointed a lot of people, the dead and the living.

IIRC it was some grandson/daughter of Mandela and it while it was a large offer of millions of dollars there was an asterisk next to the dollar amount, as in no one really knew if that was a legit offer. Considering how quick it died down and no one has mentioned it since tells you how valid and truthful that offer was.

"He will also host a press conference where questions about the potential fight against Filipino Manny Pacquiao will not allowed to be asked."
