Comments Thread For: Mayweather: My Focus is Pacquiao, Not Amir Khan

[Rath]

Everyone who knows shit about boxing does know that.

Pacquiao is a glassjaw southpaw with pitiful defensive skills.

This shit is nothing but a big payday mismatch to Floyd.

You still have that amateur written under your username "peeleft:

You forget... fans come to see Floydie lose. They come to see his opponents win, hopefully. Floydie with a complete nobody wouldn't draw 300-400K tops.

Lucky for us he doesn't fight complete nobodies like Pacquiao does then isn't it?

Sorry for my part, I really thought last 2 fights were Rios and Algieri, no problem with that you've got me with that one.

you are wrong in so many points.
>pac would never give marquez a 50/50 shares because pac guarantee will be affected and marquez would not be giving pac his highest earning ever.
>pac deserve no less than 40% of all earning againts floyd. no other fighter could give floyd the potential 80m guarantee. 80m>32m.
>i wouldn't give pacquiao a 1% chance of winning. pac and floyd are elite fighters. i really cringe seeing "1%".

I have read all 45 pages of comments on another thread with the same title. and now here is anoter 12 pages more none of them said anything about

"WHAT IS AL HAYMON TAKE ON THIS! ! ! " sure he has a say on this matter

No PAC, No Khan! We're not having it May. (if Arum wants to play games with Pac) then Why not fight Mayweather Promotions opponents for your next couple of fights before retiring a legend. Hell with what they think and say. Do it your way. If they want a shot sign up to be promoted. Hope Oscar doesn't read this.

Now Bside Bob n pac don't wanna fight on may 2nd? I guess it will be pac v Vargas ppv buys 100k. N fck kahn I want Mayweather v pacroid.

I think Floyd should take it easy for his final 2 bouts. How about Rios and Algerie

off course pacquaio signing with tmt to get the fight is reasonable for all floyd fans.

Nice post! and very realistic, but let's look at facts and probabilities

1 Pacquiao only notable loses have been against outside fighters (thinkers, counter punchers, defensive fighters)
2 Pacquiao has won all his fights against inside fighters.
3 Pacquiao hasn't knocked out a guy since Miguel Cotto (2009), and since then he's been declining, declining and declining fast.
4 Mayweather's decline just started about half a year against Maidana I
5 Mayweather has struggled with the 2 kind of fighters (inside and outside fighters) but he's beaten them all
6 Mayweather always finds a way to win no matter what you give him.

Conclusion
By these facts, there's a 99% percent chance that Mayweather is gonna box Pacquiao really bad, and there's a 1% chance that Pacquiao could find Mayweather with one great shot wich seems very unlikely.

I can tell you why Khan is a better opponent thatn Pacquiao with an extensive and deep analysis.

I can't say you wrong because EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE inside the ring, but the numbers don't lie, Pacquiao's chances are almost none, and I better watch a fight that is a 70-30 in Khan than a fight that is 99-1 in Pacquiao.

Mayweathers decline started when Ortiz beat him up and he had to cheat to get the win.

There is no way there is a 99% chance that Mayweather beats Pac because the only science that takes place before a fight in terms of odds is the number of people betting for one or the other. Floyd will be the favorite but all the facts in the world fall by the wayside when 2 guys get in the ring such as common opponents, triangle theories, experience, how a fighter looked in his last fight, etc, etc.

The odds will reflect that Floyd will be the favorite but like I said, TRUE unbias is the ability to see how each guy can win because on fight night, both could be at their best or one could be off and the other on. There are too many variables. It is absurd to even think that Floyd is anything more than a small favorite to win. 99% is pure bias or delusional. Each guy has the style to beat the other giving how they perform, the game plan, the physical conditioning, as well as whether age catches up, or the fighter simply is not at his best for X number of reasons. It's called being realistic.

Every fight is different and brings a different set of dynamics. Floyd could counter Pac and reduce his work rate/volume or Pac could use his work rate/volume and angles to outwork Floyd. There are at least 4-5 scenarios and 2-3 within the fight itself that could tilt the fight in one direction or the other.
