Comments Thread For: Mayweather's New License Fuels Talk of New York Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Mitch Abramson - Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s dalliance with possibly fighting in New York is starting to look like more than just simple teasing.

Whereas in the past he's expressed token interest in possibly fighting in New York, now he's actually taking concrete actions to make it happen if he so chooses.

Mayweather’s request for a promoter’s license in the state was approved by the New York State Athletic Commission, setting up a scenario in which Mayweather could possibly fight in New York- an interesting turn of events to say the least.

Mayweather plans to self-promote his next bout, scheduled for Sept. 13 and for someone who’s accustomed to fighting in Las Vegas, getting a license to promote in New York will likely jump-start speculation he may fight here as well.

A spokesman for the state commission said in an Email on Thursday that Mayweather Promotions “has now been licensed” to promote in New York after submitting an application.

No date has been offered to the commission for when the company intends to stage a show, however.

As a result, Mayweather’s purpose for getting a license remains unclear- for the moment. [Click Here To Read More]

Mayweather vs maidana 2 at barclays center is a strong possibility!

He makes too much money in Vegas, unless someone comes in with a great offer I still expect Mayweather to continues fighting in Vegas till he retires.

[lets rumble]

makes no sense fighting on them dates up in New York . To fight on Mexican holiday away from either Cali or Vegas doesn't make sense .
Maybe he might put a show on up there for his stable ?????

Fuels talk LOL I pretty well versed and up to date in all my boxing news and gossip and I never once heard anyone speculate on this lol other then this thread and that other thread that was created here and that was basically it.

[Check_hooks]

wont happen and heres why

[turnedup]

He's going to put shows on at the barclays center nothing more than that. He seemed to have enjoyed his trip oversees I think Hearn's put a bug in his ear about 80,000 ppl at wembley and honestly he'd make more money internationally than in BK.

[Snake4380]

Getting a promoter's license in NY means he's going to fight in NY LOL?

LOL @ the media and online nerds who really try to give Mayweather credit for things lol... Mayweather will never give up the advantages he has in Vegas including the NSAC, Vegas judges, MGM's huge WWE ring, etc.

Please stop the dreaming and speculative articles... Mayweather has always wanted every advantage when he fights...there is 0 chance Mayweather ever fights outside of Nevada.
