Marcos Maidana will be confirmed as Mayweather's May 3rd Opponent, Khan is Out

[IMDAZED]

Then you underestimate/misunderstand how insecure Floyd Mayweather truly is. Dan Rafael is the most prominent member of the boxing media in the US. He has the loudest pulpit. It ain't him they're worried about.

True. Mayweather always does what Dan's minions want.

This is Showtime's money. That's the discussion. CBS does not play. Have you been paying attention since this started? Have you not felt the presence of these networks yet? It's different now.

It is. And one constant is that the decision won't be based on what Dan Rafael is tweeting. Or maybe you can point me to the ones in the past that read, "Really hoping to see Mayweather against Guerrero the Great!"

[Carpe Diem]

Don't care to see either but I think Khan is more deserving. He beat Maidana and that a lone should put him ahead.

Are you serious, man? It was four years ago. How does that make Khan a more relevant and deserving opponent when Maidana is 4-0 in his recent fights against decent opponents, while Khan has struggled against a few D-level fighters and is 2-2 in his last four fights?

WHY? Have an actual reason. I've given mine. Again. Rafael has a loud, prominent voice on these matters. The loudest. Now you tell me why the people who crunch numbers and manipulate media campaigns at CBS/Showtime wouldn't be concerned with someone like that? I could give a **** about the "da de internets cool thing to do is bag on Dan Rafael omg lol roflmao" bla bla bull****.

Great post but people won't listen, they don't care that the fight was 3 years ago at LWW. All that matters to them is that Khan beat Maidana. they are not looking at it form a 2014 point of view. In 2014 Maidana is better than Khan at WW and in much better form.

Excellent. Should be easy for you to qualify then. Point out an example of how Rafael has done this with Mayweather in the past -- and it working.

don't believe it; Floyd takes money over merit

Shook. Can't even answer a direct question.

Here's another question. Are you going to just try and ask me a different question when I ask you a DIRECT question like a chicken****, or are you going to answer what I asked, buddy? If you don't understand what I have already stated, that's fine. I have low expectations for people.

For one, I've referred to the people at Showtime/CBS. Repeatedly. Not Floyd. You can't seem to keep up either.

Why beg to get shot down? Think.
