Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Does Not Believe Mayweather's Talk

[Kagami Taiga]

Not sure what to believe but it's clear at least a fight is being negotiated. I dunno how far that will go though.

[Beercules]

Me either Oscar.

[Uklad]

No one should believe a word mayweather says.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

May 2nd
Floyd-manny


May 9th
PPv replay followed by khan-Bradley


I think Bradley should be the gatekeeper for fights with floyd or manny

Thurman, khan, Brook etc got a win over Bradley, I think they become the front runner

[Hougigo]

He says Canelo is fighting on May 2nd, period. BUT.....

Because nothing competes with that

[keyz3r0]

Just sounds like Mayweather is scared of losing the May date to Canelo. And he knows Canelo and Pacquiao are bigger stars than him, when it comes to 'casual fan base'

Yes Mayweather is the highest paid boxer. But when it comes to GLOBAL CASUAL FANS. Pacquiao takes it. And of course for Cinco de Mayo.. Canelo and Cotto takes the cake.

The reason that Oscar don't believe that there will be a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight on May 2 is because he is sure he'd put a pin in that bout per new found conspirator Arum. Did he really think he'd make money on a Floyd-khan bout this not happening. No PAC No Khan.

I honestly only think mayweather started talking trash to save face, if he didn't say anything with all the trash manny's team has been doing he would look really ******. I feel like he is still giving himself outs. Just listen to the interview more closely.

"you are not gonna get the same money as last time" implying that 40 million is too much now, which is insane because 40 million is still too low

"There is only one person blocking it and thats arum" well guess what, arum is still there, gonna have to deal with that.

"It must be on showtime!" Showtime already said they are willing to work with hbo, why is it only being on showtime such a big deal.


He has already given himself three outs already in one interview where he acts like he wants it. Showtime Exclusivity, Money, Arum, and who the hell knows what other crazy demands he has cooking up. He is probably going to bring up gloves soon, or the ring size, or the ref, ect... I want this fight to happen and I want to believe him but something is telling me we are in the same boat as 2009-2010, where he acts like he wants but doesn't really mean it.

You are an intelligent man. Spot on. So many outs in Floyd's interview.

Mr flip flopper should be believed with a grain of salt. There is much questions to be answered.

And I believe in Delahoya more than Floyd and Arum so yes, we should doubt Floyd's sincerity. As for now he is talking to save face. That's all I get from him.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

No one believes anything Mayweather says, except for his brainwashed stans


Remember "Yes Pacquiao you're next"?
Then a few days later "I never said that. Don't put words in my mouth"

It has been 5 years of lying and ducking

Remember.
"We're not fighting because we need to build a stadium" or "Pacquiao cant fight because of a cut"

[Spoon23]

Floyd mite come up with these so called roadblocks....but wen the fight is actually close to being signed ...ITS ARUM, ARUM,ARUM, ARUM.............BOB fcking ARUM.

Yall trying to compare BS Floyd says when the fight isnt in serious talks to the Stuff Bob Arum says when the fight is close to being signed.......

Not saying Floyd isnt the cause....But Arum is Worst.....Everytime the fight was closed it fell apart cuz of Arum...Then he turns around and Blames Floyd and the media/fans eat it up

Not really.

Floyd's road blocks like the 40m or we don't fight is Floyd's wrong doing before and now he says less than 40m only for Pacquiao to make the fight when we know this will reach 200m-300m, Showtime only ppv, on May only. All Floyd.

Major, major road block.
