Comments Thread For: Showtime's Espinoza Talks Mayweather, Broner, Maidana

[WilkinsOlajuwon]

There was a rumor last year that Floyd would do a SB announcement/ad...never happened.

I think it'd be good for boxing tho if there was one--as long as its not to announce Khan

maybe the Mexican fighters are holding out figuring they've been used as crutches long enough.

Just a quick question! How many Mexican fighters sell and headline their own PPV with out facing either Floyd or Pac?

If they were the draw they would fight on PPV all the time with out a Floyd or Pac. The only other fighter to sell well and do good PPV's is Cotto and last time I checked he wasn't Mexican.

Don't get me wrong I know millions are watching but do they care or will they even remember 3 months from now? I think it would be great to announce a Mayweather Pac fight during the superbowl but I don't see the benefit to announcing Mayweather Khan? At least twitter is free we're talking 4 million dollars for a 30 second add

You might need a bigger audience for a fight hardcore fans don't want but I hope it's not Khan. They have to know nobody cares or wants a Khan fight people will accept Ortiz 2 over that fight.

NICE TEE

A potential Floyd - Khan fight has had very bad press in the last few days. I don't think Mayweather doesn't care about his own credibility. And I can't believe he is afraid of Maidana. I expect Floyd doesn't disappoint us and decides to go to a real (and risky) bout instead of taking a done fighter in Khan.

I pray he fights Maidana... Khan does not deserve that fight based on his last 4 performances.

I guess that is an interesting way to look at it. I actually was thinking the same thing myself. What if Floyd fights Maidana and beats him? How much credit would Broner get if he beat him right after Floyd did!?

But that is very interesting!

Broner should've gotten the job done the 1st time.

Cotto/Mayweather 2 would have been bigger than the Canelo fight, even without strong undercards, especially with Roach in Cotto's corner. But people won't even bother mentioning this option. Money Mayweather will turn it down. It's too risky. He'll most likey ask for a catchweight if he did.

4 fights left so nobody is trying to see rematches. This isn't Top Rank.

Riight. But Broner gets his rematch, eh?

Does Cotto have a rematch clause? "eh"? Also, I think Floyd is getting Maidana.

As much as I hate to say it... I think Cotto vs. Mayweather was a fluke. Reason being. To me, when I saw the fight It looked like Mayweather was under the weather so to speak.. and after the fight I remember his father saying that Mayweather Jr. was coming off a bad cold that previous week coming up to the fight. So with that said, I doubt Cotto vs. Mayweather II would be a good fight.. I just think Mayweather really wasn't feeling 100% due to being sick the previous week, but you can't cancel a fight that huge.. and 2nd I think Cotto is well past his prime.. He's closer to being a "Mosley" than he is being a "Pacquiao".
