Comments Thread For: Mayweather Explains Maidana Pick, Expects Difficult Fight

[AlbanianTruths]

And it begins

Here we go again, Mayweatjer giving "credit" to a fighter before the "All Access" show starts. That's when Mayweather will become the hated "evil villain" and Maidana will be presented to us as a guy that may win, has the pop to do so and he's the "good guy". I refuse to pay for this ppv because just like his last 4 fights, he's fighting a come forward, no footwork, open to counter punches fighter who will be schooled for 11 of the 12 rounds.... What a joke

Floyd knows that he will need to promote this one.

I expected Schaeffer to do his thing (promote) but I read even Ellerbe is getting in on this.

"great match-up for Floyd" - Ellerbe

"In Marcos Maidana, Floyd Mayweather may be in for his toughest opponent ever" said Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions.

No way he said that..... did he?

LMAO @ Floyd Mayweather.... CHOOSING KHAN OR MAIDANA FOR YOUR NEXT FIGHT IS LIKE A HIGH SCHOOL PERSON PICKING ON A 3rd GRADER!! MAIDANA IS NOT READY FOR FLOYD AND NEITHER IS KHAN... THIS FIGHT IS BEYOND A MISMATCH IT SHOULDN'T EVEN BE ON PPV


Mayweather is smart and everyone knows that... So Mayweather KNEW he was picking Maidana after Maidana beat Broner... Which gave Mayweather time to get a head start on preparing for Maidana....

SO BASICALLY MAYWEATHER HAS BEEN TRAINING FOR MAIDANA SINCE JANUARY... AND THEN WAITS TO THE VERY END TO TELL MAIDANA AND THE PEOPLE "OK I AM FIGHTING MAIDANA"... NOW THAT GIVES MAIDANA ONLY 2 MONTHS TO TRAIN FOR THE BIGGEST FIGHT OF HIS LIFE.

AS TO MAYWEATHER, WHO WILL HAVE HAD 4 MONTHS TO GET READY FOR MAIDANA. LIKE I SAID ... EVERYONE KNOWS MAYWEATHER IS NOT ******....

BUT WE ALSO KNOW HE WINS BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY AND IF HE HAS TO CHEAT TO WIN HE WILL... NOT ONLY HAS HE HAD MORE TIME TO TRAIN FOR HIS FIGHT... HE IS ALSO PICKING ON A CLASS C FIGHTER, MAYBE 'B' AT BEST!!!

FIGHTING THE BEST SHOULD BE FIGHTING SOMEONE THAT HAS THEIR OWN PPV STATUS LIKE "PACQUIAO"... BUT LOOK AT HiS LAST FIGHTS!!! NOBODY IS A PPV STAR.... NOT EVEN CANELO... THIS WAS CANELO'S FIRST PPV WHEN HE FOUGHT MAYWEATHER.... IF MAYWEATHER FIGHTS THE BEST HE WOULD BE FIGHTING A PPV STAR, AND THAT IS PACQUIAO....

BUT INSTEAD HE CHOOSES MAIDANA??? WHO WAS ON HIS WAY TO RETIRING 2 FIGHTS AGO... BEFORE HE FOUGHT BRONER AND LOPEZ???????? IF PEOPLE GET THIS PPV IT WILL BE A HUGE WASTE OF MONEY... LIKE I SAID, YOU ARE PAYING $60 TO WATCH A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT BEAT UP A 3RD GRADER... AND YOU THINK THERE'S A CHALLENGE RIGHT THERE????? AND YOU THINK IT'S WORTH $60???>>>?


FUNNY How Floyd wasn't talking until he heard about Manny and the potential IRS problems.. FUNNY how now that he feels he has YET ANOTHER excuse NOT to fight Manny Pacquiao he comes out of hiding and starts talking all this B.S. about Manny only wanting to fight Floyd because of Money. MANNY HAS BEEN WANTING TO FIGHT FLOYD FOR THE FANS SINCE 2009.. WE'RE GOING ON 5 ****ING YEARS OF B.S. EXCUSES FROM MAYWEATHER!!.. I really hope he doesn't fight Manny.. So when he retires he will never be labeled as the best. Just as the guy who was TOO SCARED TO FIGHT PACQUIAO As far as PPV NUMBERS GO... REMEMBER MAYWEATHER ONLY FOUGHT ONCE A YEAR... SOMETIMES ONCE EVERY 2 YEARS... ALWAYS RETIRING WHEN THE NAME PACQUIAO CAME UP!!
AFTER DE LA HOYA, MAYWEATHER FOUGHT HATTON IN 2007 and then Marquez in 2009... And those 2 PPV's didn't come close to what Manny Pacquiao's PPV's did with let's see... Marquez, Diaz, De La Hoya, Hatton, Cotto... PACQUIAO HAD 5 PPV's from 2007 to 2009 and Mayweather only had 2. So that Alone has Pacquiao getting more money in PPV's than Mayweather. Also The "PACQUIAO vs. COTTO" fight did more PPV BUYS than Mayweather vs. Hatton and Cotto Combined.

So this B.S. which is just what it is "B.S." about Pacquiao wanting to fight or needing Mayweather for Money is just ANOTHER DUMB EXCUSE BY A PERSON WHO KNOWS HOW TO RUN AND HIDE OR TALK HIS WAY OUT OF A FIGHT WHEN IT COMES TO MANNY PACQUIAO.. I like Floyd as a defensive fighter, but other than that he is boring to watch, he was never active or exciting like Pacquiao has always been. And his excuse after excuse just makes him sound like a scared little girl.

Mayweather can eat some steaks and put some weight on his ass, so Andre Ward can whip it. He knows he couldn't draw flies to a dumpster until he beat Oscar De Lahoya. I know this is true, because I was managing him when he couldn't sell out his hometown of Grand Rapids or the San Francisco Auditorium, which only seats 6,000 people.

Any man that represented the United States of America and won a gold medal is not only known, but appreciated by all Americans. Something Floyd didn't accomplish. And that invitation on his blueprints for knowing how to get millions - we pass on that, because we know how to make millions, but more importantly, how to keep it.


Floyd Mayweather Jr. is trying to stay away from Pacquaio, so he won't be faced with Pacquaio getting in his ass. But at the end of the day, he would have a problem with Pacquaio, because Pacquiao is a real one. And Floyd knows, like I know, that he's uncomfortable with real men around him.

No way he said that..... did he?

Yup, certainly did.

"This is an extremely dangerous fight for Floyd as Marcos Maidana is a technical knock-out artist and continues to show us that he gets better with each fight," said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions. "Maidana showed so much in his last performance, he's clearly at the top of his game and a great match-up for Floyd."

and here is Schaeffer: The funniest part is the bolded part below. Just hilarious.


"In Marcos Maidana, Floyd Mayweather may be in for his toughest opponent ever," said Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions. "Maidana is the type of fighter who will find out if Floyd still belongs on top of the pound-for-pound list. He's strong, tough and aggressive. He in giving Adrien Broner his first loss, he showed that he won't be intimidated by talk, a big fight atmosphere or an unbeaten record. I give Floyd a lot of credit for stepping up to the plate and testing himself once again. He is a true warrior, and the fans will be the winners on May 3rd."


"He (Floyd) is a true warrior" - Man this line will have even the die-hard Floyd fans laughing!

Boycott Floyd's Fights

Until people stops paying for cherry picked fights of Floyd, he will never fight Manny Pacquiao.

Only Pacquiao can give him problems with volume punching combined with weird angles, speed and power.

Stop paying for BS Floyd fights in PPV so (maybe) he just "might" consider Pacquiao.

[MrTambourineMan]

Truly embarrassing stuff from Schaeffer.

[ADP02]

Notice how Floyd, Ellerbe and Schaeffer bring up Berto, I mean Broner to hype it up. So we all have to base this on a guy who moved up from 130 to 135 a little over a year ago and had difficulty against Paulie too in his only 2 fights at WW. Same formula, different cherry!
