Comments Thread For: Maidana Says Retirement Thoughts Were Legit After Loss

[TintaBoricua]

He should've retired after being outboxed by Alexander. Smh. Morales's eye closed in the first round against MM BUT look at what he did after. He outsmarted MM and had him hurt a few times along the way. Broner managed to go all 12 rounds against MM when MM was much bigger and supposedly much stronger as well. He should've Ko'ed Broner, right? We all know what this fight is. This fight was designed to make Floyd look great, PERIOD. MM cannot think with Floyd, therefore he should get stopped. I think Floyd is over-rated and will not stop him because he has no BALLS. I want everyone to hold Floyd to this TBE name he's taken on and criticize him if he doesn't stop MM.

I've been predicting a stoppage since this fight was announced.

It wouldn't be anything to scoff at either. Marcos Maidana hasn't been stopped and the only one-sided fight loss in his career was against Alexander.

I picked Canelo to stop Angulo in the 10th, said Bradley wouldn't win more than four rounds against Pacquiao in the rematch, and am now saying Maidana gets stopped in the 11th...most likely from body shots.

I'm also predicting Sergio will get dropped by Cotto at some point in the fight but Sergio's reservoir gas tank will allow him to nitro boost in the championship rounds as Cotto attempts to box in vain while riding his bicycle. But I sincerely hope Cotto pulls it off.

By Allan Fox,

Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26 KO’s) will be getting a base purse of $32 million for this Saturday’s fight against WBA welterweight champion Marcos Maidana (35-3, 31 KO’s), according to Mlive. Mayweather will end up with higher figure than this once the pay-per-view receipts are totaled. The Mayweather-Maidana fight is expected to bring in over 1 million PPV buys, although many people believe it’ll do less than that figure.

Mayweather has the ideal opponent in Maidana and the perfect fight date for the fight to bring in big PPV numbers though due to the fight being staged on Cinco de Mayo weekend.


Mayweather’s guaranteed purse is considerably less than the $41.5 million guaranteed purse that he received for his mega-fight against Saul “Canelo” Alvarez last September. Maidana will be getting a guaranteed $1.5 million plus a percentage from the PPV receipts from their Showtime PPV fight.

The $32 million that Mayweather will be getting in a base purse is roughly the same that he received in his fights against Robert Guerrero and Miguel Cotto. It would be surprising if the Mayweather-Maidana fight brings in the same PPV numbers as the Cotto fight though, because that fight card had Canelo on the undercard and it did very well. This Saturday’s career has some big stars in Amir Khan and Adrien Broner on the undercard, but they’re not as popular as Canelo and they’re not matched up against popular opponents.

What’s interesting here is that Khan will be receiving $1.5 million, which is the same amount of Maidana. That’s seems kind of odd and out of place for Khan to be getting as much as Mayweather’s opponent given that Khan is in the co-feature bout, and that he’s lost 2 out of his last 4 fights. Collazo will get $350,000.

Broner is facing a fighter named Carlos Molina, a former lightweight who was knocked out by Khan in 2012. The Broner-Molina fight hasn’t generated a great deal of interest from fans because it’s seen as a mismatch, which is what it’s supposed to be given that it’s a confidence builder for Broner. Khan is facing Luis Collazo, and that’s an opponent that mainly older hardcore boxing fans recognize. Collazo is seen by some boxing fans as opponent being brought to give Khan a victory over a name from the past; much in the same way that Khan was matched against an old Marco Antonio Barrera when the Mexican warrior was on the downside of his career, and fighting above his old weight class.

Having Broner and Khan on the card will help the PPV numbers, but considering that neither of their fights are PPV worthy affairs, it’s not likely that having them on the card will have much of an impact to the overall PPV numbers. Golden Boy Promotions should have focused on getting one of them to take on a worthy opponent in order to get fans interested.

I disagree. I think we all know what happened in the 4th fight against Roidquez. Roidquez should've been banned for life. He could've killed Manny. It's funny how you idiots think he did what he did, naturally. It shows how much you all don't know about boxing.

Yup, Marquez was soooo juiced up that he put a bad hurting on Bradley when he hit him with clean shots too right?!? Lol. Idiots over here still clinging to hope that jmm cheated. Pac runs into a perfectly timed counter right but its lucky. BTW if you've watched pacs fights when he was lighter, not just post De LA hoya like a lot of the fan boys you would know that he always does that little stutter step jump in ... Juan "lights outs" Marquez knew this. LOL

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

it's always nice seeing guys rebound like marcos has and never giving up. the same goes with pacquiao. everyone was calling for him to retire after getting KO'ed unconscious by marquez, but pac never gave up on himself and went on to win back the WBO welterweight belt and legitimize himself again.

moral of the story is to never give up on yourself because a better chapter of your life is always waiting to be written.

That's some divine type **** man. Deep stuff.

Majority of Pacquiao fanatics (not fans) do not know boxing, not even the basics.

i told yall khan nearly made maidana retire, now you can see for yourself.. alexander just pushed him closer to the edge but khan's the one who did the real damage..

******........

Welcome to Boxing Scene, junkie. Hahaha!

[Snake4380]

That Alexander fight and his struggles against some low-level competition makes me not see any scenario where Maidana can be competitive in this fight.

Very respectable post........

I respect this post. Floyd wants everyone on earth to recognize that he is TBE, well he's got work to do and it starts with MM. All I know is, certain greats would stop MM. Floyd should also. I think Cotto defeats Martinez. I think his power will surprise Sergio. His speed is deceptive, his timing is 2nd to none, and his technique is superior to SM's. Manny is STILL a BEAST and ATG. I thought he would stop Bradley BUT I am satisfied with how he dominated the 2nd half of the fight with his brain and superior boxing skills. He's in another league from Bradley and he said that before the fight. you're cool man. I'll add ya. I've been putting so many on my ignore list, it's good to do the opposite. LoL.
