Comments Thread For: Mayweather Says Maidana Rematch Done For 9/13

[lutenco]

Mayweather is a coward! Everyone knows he chose to give Maidana a rematch because he's ducking Chris Algeri!

He is TBE because he beat ATG VICTOR ORTIZ with a sucker punch during a ******....STFU DUDE!!! Surprise that XYLOCAINE JR. is not fighting in NY...bla bla bla,only in NEVADA he can continue to cheat!!!

A late announcement gives BOTH fighters less time to prepare. If anything Showtime most likely forced the issue. They have secured dates for Mayweather under their contract and need him to fight in September.

How do you know Floyd wasn't already preparing? He is the one issuing the rematch not Maidana.

[Travdog]

Definitely. Especially the way Floyd was on the ropes that first fight. Throw in the loss of reflexes, the clean shots that got through...yeah, this is a great fight. Can't wait.

Yeah how about Castillo - Mayweather I. Roy v Tarver not even close. Tarver taller and longer than Roy. Roy was in terrible shape (in the preflight interview he said he was at 70%). That fight was close Maidana v Mayweather was not. Now Castillo v Mayweather, you have something there.

How does Maidana have less time to prepare if we all knew this fight was happening on Sept 13th back in May?

Although it was obvious the rematch was going to happen, since Mayweather has no other options, but obviously someone was trying to drag this out way longer then it should have been, hoping Maidana wouldn't start training until contracts were signed and has gotten fat and lazy inbetween fights.

Mayweather knew he was fighting September 13, Maidana didn't.

He wasn't in terrible shape -- just older and slower.

lol

Chris algeri lol he duckin him lol u guys say dum sh#=+

[ShoulderRoll]

Its on. Lets get Matthysse Broner next and its a great card

Hell yeah. That would shape up to be a very fun ppv.

Certainly better than facing Chris Algieri with Zou Shiming on the undercard.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

The fact that people thought the first fight was close really has worked out for everyone involved.

Mayweather has an excuse to fight a guy like Maidana again who he'll beat even easier this time.

Maidana gets another payday.

Showtime doesn't have to worry about marketing a new opponent.

[MRCHOKEaMF]

a dirty fighter, wonder if he's gonna try to use his knees again, while his corner implores him to fight dirty. Guess thats part of the plan if you know you cant win fair and square. He knows he cant outbox Floyd, he knows he cant hurt Floyd, as we saw in the first match. Now when Floyd uses his boxing skill and beats him and win 9-3 rds you will say he ran, but the first fight you said he couldnt "box" because chino wouldnt let him. But its a "robbery" because he won 3 rds total, Cotto made Floyd's nose bleed so he won, it was a robbery, people were on here saying Guerrero was a "robbery", Canelo was a "Robbery" and so on and so forth. you guys are worth a good laugh

Everyone knew floyd was fighting 9/13. Maybe the waited to announce now because a big PPV is saturday. this way they can publicize it durng the broadcast and by not announcing it earlier it didn't take away from that show.

Again, if you knew floyd had no other options, so did Maidana. SO he would have already started training since, he as you said, knew floyd had no other options.

At least hate intelligently dude.
