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

The Beast vs King Money May! I can't wait for this fight

[xpc42]

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.

Just watch free video stream, you will save yourself 60$, but yet you will still get bored with the schooling Maidana will get.

[kmas-ski]

two solid champions in a unification fight......... will be a great night of boxing

Other than Broner what exactly has Maidana accomplished to be considered "solid" ?

[salitap4p#1]

disgraceful cherry pick

[MindBat]

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 ...


Blah, blah, blah ...

.

Manny Pacquiao avoided Floyd like the black plague when Pac was moved up to welter to fight Cotto. Floyd was on a semi-retirement. When Floyd returned as planned, Team Pacquiao panicked and made a run for the hills and to the TV shows to sing songs.

When Manny was asked point blank "who do you want next?" he hemmed and hawed and said it's up to his uncle Bob to decide.

Manny avoided PED testing for so long until Marquez forced him to realize it wasn't such a bad idea after all.

Manny's gotta worry about Bradley who could put him down or asleep again if hes not careful.

Maidana was a layup of course u picked him! All these same clowns who dumped all over Broner will now solidfy him worthy to hype up Maidana to hype up Floyd for choosing him. Floyd beats Maidana easily. Really? Ok so did Devon Alexander and Khan for pretty much the entire fight. So again what exactly did he do to earn this? By beating Broner who 90 percent of u dubbed as a bum. Oh because Floyd said so? Maidana is a b side opponent. Broner self proclaimed himself an A side fighter like GB did with Ortiz. This is another PPV sparring session. Straight ahead fighters with no boxing abilities. Canelo Guerrero Ortiz Baldomir the list goes on all the same dudes

[mezoomozaa]

Good luck for Mayweather to beat Maidana as impressive as Khan did ! I really doubt that Mayweather has the power to knock down Maidana !

[H.B.Viper]

And the TMT hype machine keeps on churning!

WE all know you rather fight straight ahead, telegraph fighters.
You can fool the public, but don't insult true boxing fans!
There are so many great challenges out there but you always take the road less traveled instead of adversity, like others who made a name for themselves within boxing royalty.
We know you have the ability for greatness. No on said otherwise. But if you look at boxing royalty, no one had a easy ride like you have.
Greatness is made through struggles with another fighter that can drag you through the mud. Have you bloodied, on your last leg, and you rise to the occasion.
Will you, FMJ take on that type of opponent, that will push you to the brink, where you have to dig down deep? Will your corner people tell you"you're blowing this kid", or the dr. or ref telling you "this is your last round"?
Again, nothing could be this easy in boxing.
Ali, Holmes, Robinson, Duran, Louis, Arguello, Pryor, Chavez, Hagler, Hearns, & others had to dig deep within themselves to become great.
Stop the madness. Step up, or your history will be tainted, like the steroid era baseball players who will never get to Cooperstown because they cheated to become great.

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.

Pacquiao has his own problems right now. He has to avenge a controversial loss to Bradley, and he got knocked out by Marquez. His PPV against Bradley and Rios doesn't add up to Floyd's fight against Canelo. Pacquiao's opponents haven't been welterweight stars either. Bradley's only win before Pacquiao at 147 was Joel Casamayor, and Bradley struggled against Ruslan and that was Ruslan's first fight at 147. If Floyd is a cherry picker so is Pacquiao! However, Floyd's last 3 opponents have been solid! Maidana is not the best, but he is just as good as Rios!

[stuff jones]

Wow Floyd is saying his fight is going to be competitive and worth buying? Who'd ever thunk it.
