Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Mayweather Just Aiming To Retire Unbeaten

[The Big Dunn]

Manny did agree, with a 24 day cutoff window and Floyd walked away because he wanted a 7 day. They couldn't come to an agreement, that stuff happens, most people blame mayweather because he never asked anyone else to do that at that point, and at the time it was a ridiculous demand which Manny agreed to with a 24 day cutoff limit and also right after the fight. Even before he tough clottey he had changed his mind and agreed to random testing throughout. So basically for 6 straight years Floyd has been ducking Manny, yet you want to bring up that one things from 6 years ago that was floyds fault in the first place?

Manny didn't like 24 days, Floyd offered 14 and 7 and Manny walked away because he wanted no testing. Roach already admitted same. I guess you missed that. Don't blame Manny's actions on another man.

True, Floyd knows his post fight earnings depend on that 0.
Pacquiao will be President of the Philippines ones day, he could fight Floyd and lose and it changes nothing for him.

In your dreams. He could not even win in his province of Sarangani without resorting to vote buying. He is popular I admit, but do you know that when he produced some movies with him in the lead role, spending a $ mill or two per, it always bombed in the tills?

In the last Manila filmfest where he had an entry and with him in the starring role (but of course), so few went to see it that theater owners pulled it out after only a day of screening. By the way, while the two top grosser pulled around $5.5m (around P250m) between them for the two weeks filmfest and the 2nd to the last grossed around $450k, Pac's entry did not even reached $50k. That's how popular he is.

Why wouldn't he be aiming to retire undefeated? I don't understand some of the criticism, especially when people say he's afraid to lose, well why wouldn't he be? Mayweather is as well rounded as any fighter I've ever witnessed, it takes a lot of work to build that kind of skill set...it's a given that he doesn't want to see it that someone may be better than him on any given night.

What are you talking about? How much do you think pacquiao would make as the president? Likely not very much at all. However unlike Floyd, pacquiao is an astute businessman in the phillipines where he owns dozens and dozens of businesses. He also has huge endorsements from various big name companies here in the states. Floyd got scammed out of 15 million by a guy named 4 comma Joe lol. He needs this big payday to make sure he doesn't end up like Tyson and holyfield. The phillipines could take that 50 million they want from pacquiao and it wouldn't affect his lifestyle in the slightest. Just the mansions he owns are worth that much.

If Pac is not lying, his networth, based on Statement of Assets and Liabilities (SAL which required for all gov't officials and is a public document) submitted to Phil congress is P2 billion more or less. At say P44.00 to a dollar, his net worth is around $46m, smaller than the $50m assessed against him by the BIR, Phil's counterpart of IRS.

We know thats what he wants to do, but why do some boxing fans promote it? thats the problem.

They get nothing but ***** fights out Mayweathers cowardice. Whats next? Maywerather rematching someone he went 12-0 rounds int he first, and he does better in rematches. Now he wants boxing fans to pay $70 for this mismatch, go f/ck yourself Floyd

Having skills is one thing, putting it on display against another fighter who's just as great is another.

Thats like Marshawn Lynch playing against high schoolers. He's going to look unstoppable, he might even brand himself TBE. But then you look who he played against, and realise he really isn't TBE, theres 15 RB with better credentials infront of him.

Mayweather waisted his youth, could've actually been great. He's on the path of bexoming just a fighter with a good skillset with a protected record.

Dude is so great at his skillset that yall call HOF AND world champions bums bc he toyed with them

[Rolaz]

If he desires to be undefeated, let him do it in his own style, announce it in the media his handpicked easy to beat opponent, and allow the boxing fans the right to watch his fight or not.

If you see Pacman in the news that he is in the USA(The country of Floyd jr.) and then you'll read in the news that Floyd jr., going outside USA for vacation, instead of working out his contract with Pacman, then something wrong with his real intention. who's really avoiding who?!
