Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather is Motivated By Numbers, Says Jeff

[pnksntdead]

Doesn't make sense then since floyds been running from $100 mil against manny for 5 years now.

[Slick_Rick]

Yes Jeff, you're right, but also giving the opponent as little chance as possible. e.g cheating on the scales, weight draining, refusing to fight unless specific gloves are worn...etc

From the beginning floyd has been trying to get all the psychological advantage with all his demands. After five years pac has given in to his demands but ultimately he knows pac won't give in to his demand of 85% of the purse. Time is running out and Pacs team will have to promote his next fight. After this all the *****s will claim pac avoided this fight. LOL.

[JD Salinger]

Yeah right, Jeff. That's why he's been avoiding the biggest money fight of all. Makes sense.

[GRUSTLER]

Saying Yes in public is not a done deal. LOL!

Ironic statement coming from a Pacquiao fan considering Manny said he would agree to all testing demands of Mayweather after he turned them down but he did it only in the public media.

Floyd is like a smart hungry mouse. He wants that piece of cheese on the mouse trap but he knows what the consequence will be.

so what was the guerrero match for?

Mayweather-Guerrero did ~850K PPV buys. Nobody in the history of boxing has done numbers like that unless you are Mayweather, Pacquiao, DLH, or a heavyweight.

When Mayweather did 850K vs. Hatton following the DLH fight, everybody jumped for joy. It was an unbelievable number. At that point you would only see a number like that if DLH was fighting. Mayweather and Pacquiao normalized those numbers for you guys.

If you believe Mayweather and Arum's numbers, since 2007 they have captured more than 1M PPV buys 6 times each (12 total). That matches the amount of fights that had previously scored 1M PPV buys in the history of boxing (Heavyweights-10, DLH-2).

850K is a damn good number, it's an amazing number when considering Robert Guerrero was the B-side.

Jeff is a Mayweather. Nuff said.

Floydiots... Stop it bro. First off who is May to make up drug testing rules back in early 2010? I would've said no to his demands back then too. They already had drug urine test but all of a sudden when its time to fight Pac Man, its blood testing. He knew how Manny felt about giving blood after they misplaced his blood before the Morales first fight. With all that being said, Manny agreed to all his demands in 2012 and he still didn't want the fight. May is the roadblock king. For whatever reason, he doesn't want any part of Manny. The biggest payday in boxing history. D@mn shame. You guys pretend like he's not ducking the man he claims he'll beat with ease.

Every time Pac has something to say via the media (ready to fight Floyd, willing to take less money, will fight Floyd for charity), his fans take it as gospel. This despite the fact that he answers to Arum and has no say in the matter whatsoever.
