Why doesn't Floyd Mayweather go on ESPN First Take?

[smoothsmg]

ehhhh why go on there all its gonna be is them trying to make him look bad i dont blame him. Plus they have a deal with hbo not showtime but i could be wrong about that

Yeah, the deal with HBO/ESPN is still in place as far as I remember, but nothing has really come from it. They have shown a few old fights, but nothing that makes boxing stand out. But I am extra excited that boxing will be on their on Thursday and Saturday.

Chad Ocho went on ESPN after being bashed.
Pacquiao went on ESPN after being bashed as into why his side doesn't make the fight.
Chris Bosh went on ESPN after being blasted and being called SOFT.
Dwayne Wade went on ESPN after being blasted and them saying he doesn't have it.

Why is Floyd above either of these athletes?

And lebron, durant, westbrook, howard hasn't been on there who cares.

floyd has gone on ESPN many times after being bashed. WHat he hasn't done is gone back to First Take. AFter the Canelo fight he was on Kelly ripa/strahan show, which is a far bigger audience.

Maybe floyd has "outgrown" first take.

That yellow headed **** insults me with his lack of boxing knowledge.

So Floyd has outgrown a world class media sports show?
Thats sad, he must be bigger than President *****.

Thats like saying ***** doesn't need to go on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC.

Im not saying that Floyd HAS to go, but suggesting that he is so big of a star that he doesn't need to go is ludacris.

Floyd is not in the same class of popular as a Micheal Jordan, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant yet.

[Larry the boss]

Stop being a fanboy, ESPN is the BIGGEST sports outlet in the world, not just the U.S.A.

Mayweather ain't above no one.

Seems like he is doing fine without them homie...fanboy or not he did over 3 million ppv last year without ESPN

I said maybe, gven the fact after Canelo he didn't do any sports shows but Live with Kelly/Starhan, which caters to a completely different and substantially larger demographic than 1st take. He also did the Steven Colbert show, which is primetime and again, caters to a different demographic than 1st take.

1st take isn't a world class media show. its a morning sports show that airs on espn2, not even the main channel.

It isn't like that in any way.

There are a number of sports stars that don't appear on 1st take precisely becasue they are big stars. Have you seen Peyton Manning, or Kobe on 1st take recently?
