Comments Thread For: Mayweather Blasts De La Hoya: He's a Piece of ****!

[IMDAZED]

Just look at his statements over the last 13 weeks and a picture will become clear. He doesn't know who to fight, because everyone is shouting different names at him.

Instead of saying why HE WONT fight somebody, just pick the top opponent.

Khan won the poll, fight didn't happen.......
Pac etc need to avenge their losses, but not Maidana......
Not interested in mandatory challengers, picks styles to make him look good......

On and on it goes, which is why people have lost respect for him.

Is that fact or opinion?

The only facts are that they have negotiated with each other twice and both times Pacquiao turned the offer down. Talk won't change that.

This is all your speculation, which is fine. But you said Showtime is pressuring Mayweather. When I pointed out quotes that said the opposite, you have to revert to your opinion. Obviously your opinion differs from facts.

When asked in the LA times if there was pressure to finally make this fight happen Espinoza said there is. But again because he has to be careful not to hurt Floyds vagina, he went on saying Floyd really does want the fight and let's wait for Pac November fight blah blah.

Everyone knows this fight generates lots of interest. Everyone can see with the two getting older, at the twilight of their careers, with Floyds PPV numbers slipping, and possible competition from HBO for May 5th there is extra pressure to finally make this fight happen. One doesn't need Espinoza to come out and tell us this, because it's pretty freaking obvious.

Well obvious to everyone except Floyds groupies who admittedly are more interested in Floyd winning negotiations than seeing the fight.

While Oscar was getting butt plugged by ******** high on coke, it was the Swiss Banker Shaefer using his connections and building the organization from the ground up. He was the who set up the biggest events in boxing history, Oscar had no part when it came to the brains. Even now Eric Gomez is the guy who keeps things in order. Gomez is an actual professional and learned from Schaefer.

please post links with proof of your claims.

I've seen that interview. Is there a point to this post?

If you don't understand the term, "the man speaks for himself", I feel sorry for you cuz noone can fix ******.

This is a B showing his true colors... If HBO offered a better deal wouldn't a guy that calls himself Money understand??? Loyalty from the guy that publicly kicked Ellerbee to the curve... Loyalty from the guy that left HBO for Showtime... Showtime signed its death certificate when it got in bed with May, Schafer, and Haymon... Anybody seen Garcia fight against a guy with no name and 3 KOs. Schafer allowed fighters to fight on Golden Boy cards without signing them... That is somebody snaking his company and not working in the best interest of his company... The company is called Golden Boy not Schafer Boy... If it wasn't for Oscar nobody would have known who Schafer or Mayweather was. Before Oscar Floyd never sold over 500k PPV buys and he was 30 years old. He was a B side fighter to Arturo Gatti and had to fight him in Jersey... His boring style was the reason he didn't sell tickets until Oscar gave him a fight which put him on 24/7 and he started selling a character a the hip hop fans tuned in. Boxing will go on and be better without him... He's not a puncher or has exciting fights. Oscar has opened Golden Boy to anyone and everyone who wants to make big fights the fans want to see just like he did in his career. A concept May, Schafer, Haymon can't understand. Why sell fights when you can sell propaganda and hype is how they see it.

Someone here said they speak for Floyd?

[Johnny Rubber]

True. Pacquiao turned down every offer.

He did, but does he bring more to the table than Floyd? In the USA possibly as Floyd is more popular, But Manny is the global star of boxing on the whole I think (based on info from friends in other continents/countries).

One could argue that Manny has achieved more in his career (belts/divisions), which should give him equal terms? He will not accept an offer that was disrespectful of his standing and rightly so, any sportsman should stand up for their worth.

Floyd really only started bleating when Manny was named "fighter of the decade", since which Floyd took to calling himself the best ever etc and falling out with everyone.

I wish they would both just retire as there are so many other fighters worthy of the attention these two get.

All that matters is revenue and, no, he doesn't bring more.

[The Gambler1981]

I found it interesting that he dogged Oscar like always but said he had no issue with Eric Gomez who I think is the main guy there now. So I don't know what that means because that was like the exact same arrangement with Schaeffer although he was more positive about Schaeffer than Gomez but it does not sound like if Gomez was dealing with Floyd he would have issues.

Otherwise I don't get the point of bringing up a guy maybe 1% of fans sort of know about.
