Comments Thread For: Barclays CEO Still Eager To Land Mayweather, Big Events

wow ! collazo ???

It'll never happen. Xylocaine use isn't allowed in New York or any other state in the US. Floyd's hometown is the only place a fighter can use Xylocaine.

Yeah, I'm not seeing Mayweather vs Collazo as quite the mega fight that Yormark is. Nice try though. Now if he could somehow work some major magic with his heavy-hitter partners to get Mayweather to fight Pacquiao in Barclays, THAT would be a mega fight!

Floyd ain't fighting out of vegas..too comfortable and they take good care of him. At least in Vegas he knows he ain't gonna get jacked on some scorecards...outside of there with a whole other element of "wise guys" who knows.

^^^^ funny dude!! like Mayweather don't get home cooked judging in Vegas? Cotto and Judah both deserved a lot more rounds.. the rest are just overmatched opponents.. but cinnamon did get a draw.. ha ha!!

Taxes in NY drive businesses away. Definitely not business friendly.

Anyway, Mayweather vs Collazo would probably happen if Collazo can KO Khan. I don't see why not, with Danny Garcia's stock dropped a bit in the fickle fans/medias eyes, I can see how the winner of Khan-Collazo would be looked it as the next B-side. There's also winner of Porter-Malignaggi, an undefeated but untested Kell Brook, and Keith Thurman.

Of course, most fans, me included, would like to see Floyd fight Lara (If he does not fight Canelo) or Martinez (If he beats Cotto). I can't see how the winner of Martinez-Cotto fights Floyd this year however, from July to September is just not enough time to negotiate, train/prepare and promote. If Lara fights Canelo in July and wins, same for him, he's hungrier and more likely to accept a Floyd fight so quickly after possibly beating Canelo, but even for Lara I feel from July 26 to September is just too soon.

Judah won about 4 rounds, Cotto won about 2-3. The scorecards were pretty accurate. In fact, this is the first time I read that Judah should have gotten more rounds. If you mean 1 more point, due to the grazing glove KD, i'd give you that. But more rounds for Judah?

Good luck getting those big events over vegas when they get less money over there

yea Floyd is so tied in with vegas it doesn't seem like he will want to fight outside of there unless its for super crazy money. he really needs to fight somewhere new at least one more time before he goes. id wanna do a football stadium or wembly in the uk if I was him

lara will need a big win like canelo to get the Floyd fight, as much of a lara fan I am hes not known enough to fight Floyd, canelo on the other hand needs to fight him, all canelos fans are aware of lara now so that fight will be popular if it gets made. and if Martinez beats the crap outta cotto to bad Floyd might take him on or he might not lol

Which rounds were those?

[MindBat]

Floyd leave Nevada to get taxed 8%, good luck with that.

I'm sure they can work in a way that Barclay's foots part or all of the tax bill and throw in a few other incentives if they really want Floyd there.
