Wait so Floyd was knocked down?

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 ?????

What do PPV buys (the most important criteria to mayweather) have to do with the venue he fights in?

Cotto vs May 2 New York next year

This is a forgone conclusion at this point, I feel strongly that he will rematch cotto in may for his MW strap

It'll be the first time I've rooted against mayweather

[kingzapata02]

Mayweather is the biggest flip flop in history of world. He is a communist *******. He leaves hbo n now las vegas. Where is the loyalty. He'd stab his fans in the back ooo wait ur too busy duking his duck..how can u enjoy this guy as a fan if he doesnt give u the best fight ever to be made pacquiao. He can care less about his fan n now he jus gone abandoned vegas wat a joke n wat he did to hbo wtf. Lebron is a saint compared to this Nigerian lol

I really hope it's not Cotto. Sick of watching rematches.

Huge Mexican population in Cali and Vegas guarantee a good gate .
If it was a cotto fight in New York I understand however with the dates he books for his fight he would be mad to take a fight away from Vegas .

[soul_survivor]

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.

Yep, also I'm not sure if new York allow the use of xylocaine?

some1 under the radar will have to put up big $$ 2 pay the crazy NYC city, state & unincorporated taxes...fighters are crazy 2 box here, they're out 14% b4 they are in the ring, & there's still federal tax...this was common in the late '50s & '60's 2 make a bout happen...

if i remember right the haters were laughing cause mayweather didnt have his L's ****s going down i just hope hes willing to work with gbp

now that would be a great fight!!!! still i would have floyd out boxing ggg. ggg didnt duck ward, he flat out ran from him. i think ggg would (like most battling fighters) has trouble with fighters that have good lateral movement. i think floyd would box his ears off. i think floyd will lose when he gets old in the ring al la roy jones. i think thats when floyd fights will be real toss ups.

Um..........win or lose, young or old, Maidana, whom Alexander boxed circles around (yes I know it was before Garcia trained him), just put plenty of leather on Floyd. I think he won the fight with the much cleaner and actually harder punches..........but if you ask me who I would rather have been waking up the next morning?? Maidana all the way........

GGG didn't run from Ward. He flatly admitted he's not ready. He hasn't been in tough enough at 160 let alone 168........154 vs Floyd...........Floyd may outbox him but takes serious punishment for his trouble and I don't think he'd get that decision if he were still conscious after 12......

IF.......Golovkin can even make 154.......but I think Floyd wants about as much to do with GGG as GGG does with Ward..........notta danm thing!!

I think the other poster.........Floyd vs Cotto for the MW title is much more likely.........the lineal belt, he beat him once fairly easily, Cotto hits nowhere near as hard as Golovkin.

One more thing about Golovkin, he's very accurate and has good, subtle defense. 2nd only to Floyd in +/- landed/opp landed...........no walk over.........and DONNY Lalonde was NO GOLOVKIN..........not by a long shot.....was forced down in weight where they basically created the SMW division to make the Leonard-Hearns fight happen for an actual title.........

Floyd vs Golovkin will NEVER happen.......sorry..........

Cotto-Golovkin? People will scream for it soon. For Cotto's sake I hope not. I think he should take the less punishing Floyd/Canelo money and walk..........when he walks, Canelo v Golovkin would be very likely to happen. And Golovkin would win easily. If Ward is able to get any sissies to fight him in the mean time, that's about when the Ward-Golovkin fight would make sense....

Ward-Golovkin now would be a terrible idea for both fighters money-wise. When Floyd does walk.........those two will soon be the biggest names in the sport........
