Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Mayweather Was Pressured Into The Fight

[Check_hooks]

Its pretty obvious that he was. Floyd's 2 bosses told him to fight Pacquiao.

Moonvese told him to fight or else no more SHO PPV's

Haymon told him to fight cuz he needs money from all those network timebuys

Somebody is mad they got left out of the biggest PPV ever.

Going to be a fun thread IMHO

Childish stuff. Wonder what the excuse will be when floyd wins.

[turnedup]

He had to have been to give up 40%, he went from 40 million to 40%. Either way he could've fought it being made but it's made so may the better man win on that night. Both are shells of themselves so this is a battle IMO for who has the most still left in the tank.

ODLH simply stated the truth. Floyd had no other choice. It all began with PAC calling out Floyd after PAC-Algieri...then it rolled from there.

twitter posts from pac, media pressure, moonves, Hoya/Canelo threatening to steal May 2nd... Floyd had no other choice or he'd forever be shamed.

Yup the poster Golovkin harassed him day and night till he signed the contract

Its easy convict the hated guy of anything when you play connect the dots , if you want to get technical the dots can be connected in many ways where all were pressured to make the fight now , when everybody was saying the fight will never happen I always said it would , when everybody said it was not happening now including Oscar I said it was happening .

Floyd stepped up and called Manny out with a date , Floyd did not have to do that , he wants the fight .

Typical Floyd F A G. trying to complicate a very simple situation to protect a coward. He was forced to sign the contract plain and simple. The biggest factor was more than likely Moonves. He probably told Haymon that if you don't get this chicken to fight Pacquiao then you get no CBS dates for your fights. Coupled with the fact that he would have gotten no Mexican support because they would all be watching Canelo, the writing was on the wall. But that's ok, keep on spinning it F L O M O

A friend of a friend of my friend told me that the waiter who was responsible for the fight happening was being harassed by some of Floyds legion. I do not know if its true but the matter of fact is Floyd stans know that Floyd got cornered and was forced to signed the contract, now they would twist all the facts of his cowardice and made it look like Floyd wanted the fight!

It's gotten too childish at this point.
