Comments Thread For: Mayweather, Canelo To Go Head To Head on May 2nd?

[Francis M.]

It's obvious that Nelo and PAC are showing more initiative to negotiate which means they're desperate in boxing....

Floyd and Cotto are not interested in their negotiations so they are BOSS?

I can't embed it. I'm using my phone instead of my laptop. I know Floyd's cousin isn't really deeply involved in the contract negotiations side, but he's very very close to Floyd, closer to Floyd than a lot of those reporters who are making **** up. I don't want to get my hopes up, but it sounds like it will happen.

I got you.

Lol Floyd fans now acknowledging PAC gets a guaranteed 20 mil just to argue that HBO is losing money just like SHO is losing money from Floyd.....

Pick a lane, is PAC desperate to fight Floyd or is PAC getting 20 mil to fight rios and Algieri?

I've stated a long, long time ago that Top Rank has a deal with HBO, multi-fight, for Pacquaio. It is what it is. And I've always acknowledged it, so please go somewhere else with the crap. Pacquaio and Mayweather have been commanding the highest purses in boxing for quite some time now.

I don't care who is desperate to fight who. Who cares. I'd just like to see the fight. Is Pacquaio definitely getting the $20 million? I don't know, only because he's being paid through Top Rank. I know Top Rank is getting that $20 million plus though! How much Pacquaio is getting out of that is anyone's guess.

If Floyd fights Cotto, FIOmos will pretend they never said that catchweights are a disgrace to the sport (even though May has done it more than once) and FIomos will act like rematches are OK even though FIomos said Floyd clearly won the first fight and there is no reason for a rematch...

Oh and FIomos will focus on Manny's cut but neglect to focus on the fact that Floyd will not make half as much fighting Cotto as he would Manny...

Lol u fckn dichead pac-tards always yelling boycott... but actually it's Pacquiao's sorry azz loser fights that are actually being boycotted lol. If mayweather fighting Cotto for a middle wt title is a cherry pick... them wtf is pac vs Algieri or soon 2b Pac vs Jessica Vargas of all ppl?

FIomo, there is just one little bitty problem with this argument... Floyd is Manny's first choice! Floyd is ducking Manny to make way less money fighting cherry picks... you see the difference FIomo?

[MisanthropicNY]

FIomo logic: Let's forget that Floyd is ducking Manny to fight for way less money and let's focus on who has the better Plan B after Floyd ducks the fight..because that's the important discussion to have riiiiiight

[Flash13]

Just a few things

1. HBO is not on the hook for pac's gaurentees so they aren't losing money. They get a certain % of the ppv with a pretty low ceiling.

2. TR doesn't get a cut of pac's gaurentees. I see some of you saying it doesn't matter TR gets it's cut. No it doesn't. So I don't think TR is making very much money on the pac deal, well besides the bradley fight.

3. It's awesome to already see the *****'s in full force spinning floyd's potential duck. I mean it doesn't matter what this guy does you will continue to support him. It's extremely pathetic.

FIomos it's simple... Floyd-Maidana 2 = Floyd's camp too embarrassed to release PPV numbers...

Floyd v. Cotto in a rematch in a fight that Floyd clearly after a Pac fallout going against Canelo head to head lol..that is not selling what people think it's going to sell...

Floyd v. Pac = 3 mil PPV buys...

Yah so Floyd needs Pac..basically...

Focus on Floyd ducking Pac and stop changing the subject to the plan Bs...

Manny's first choice: Mayweather

Mayweather's first choice: Cotto... there's a problem here...

Floyd v. Pac: Floyd makes 120 mil

Floyd v. Cotto: Floyd still get his 31 mil guarantee no increase..he got a 41 mil guarantee vs. Canelo... and Cotto rematch won't have Mosley-Canelo instead will be going against Canelo... way less PPVs...

Anyway the FIomos try to spin it Floyd's legacy will forever be tarnished if he ducks Pac this time..

[raymosr]

Hey ****head if Mayweather carries the whole promotion off of his name value I'd say 900k -1mill is pretty dmn good. That is not exactly a boycott dichead. But 250k-300k is.

[MisanthropicNY]

My last comment until this fight either gets announced or talks end and both sides move on...

No matter how FIomos try to spin it...

If Floyd doesn't fight Pac: Floyd will be placed in that Calzaghe category... a great fighter who never fought the best of his era and was undefeated...

Bottom Line...Floyd doesn't reach Marciano immortal status without Pac... he'll regret it next year at this time if he doesn't take the fight when he walks around looking for praise and everybody calls him a ducker and cherry-picker like they do now...
