I still laugh at this. people took victory from Floyd having a bloody nose. They still go crazy cause Mosley almost knocked him down. I guess when you hate someone you have to go full force and take any sort of victory you can.

you know how it is-Floyd loses 3 or 4 rounds and that equates to "his toughest fight"; if he loses 5 rounds its a loss.

I am on a phone or I would link it here but go to YouTube and type in mayweather bob costas interview. Mayweather said after that phone conversation Manny sent kontz to Vegas to negotiate but mayweather wasn't willing to give up any ppv so they weren't willing to make a deal. I dont know how much more clear mayweather had to be for his own fans to believe him when he says stuff that doesn't make him look good. Lmao there's hours of YouTube footage of him being a coward and you guys always somehow come up for an excuse for everything, even when mayweather says it in exact words.

Lets take names out of it. If fighter A fights fighter C, D, and E, and they all receive PPV money, why would fighter B not get it?

I hope we are not referring to the "rich coward" video, if so, I only have one word for you......................CONTEXT!!!

I wish roach would shut up. Freddie "the joke coach" roach. I love Manny, but we all know Floyd is going to have an easy night with Manny. Manny makes too many mistakes. I don't see anything changing. He's going to jump into counter right hands, all night long. Floyd may ko him.

Floyd clearly lost to Castillo the first time and the maidana fight should have been a draw and the same could be said for the de la Hoya fight. Its clear he was given a gift against Castillo. This isn't like pacquiao Marquez 3 where Manny outlanded Marquez and landed many more power shots and controlled the fight and was the aggresor the whole time and the Marquez fans called it a robbery, on the contrary Castillo controlled the fight and landed the harder shots at q higher volume the whole fight. Clear gift to mayweather. He should be 46-1 at the very best.

Its because it was clear mayweather was making a huge lowball offer. And in this situation I am using the correct context, mayweather clearly said that he was not willing to give up a single penny of ppv revenue to pacquiao, it was a 40 million flat offer. There was no other context because he made it absolutely clear. Mayweather keeps all of the ppv revenue in every fight and always pays a flat fee, again which he clearly says in the same interview if you'd take 5 minutes out of your day to go watch it instead of spending hours on here making excuses for a coward

Floyd BS is easy to see unless one is a Flo Hoe...

Manny must sign to Mayweather Promotions... 1. It didn't happen 2. At the time Mayweather Promotions wasn't even licensed, they didn't get licensed until Sep. 2014. So he wanted Manny to sign to an unlicensed company. Mayweather fights including his last one was promoted by Golden Boy.

Bob Arum can't be involved... Les Moonves told Floyd to shut up and do what I pay you to do.

Manny only gets 40 million flat no ppv... Well Manny is going to get more than that.

The fight has to be on Showtime only... Once again Les Moonves told little Floyd to shut up and fight.

Jim Lampley can't call the fight because I'm the boss and I don't like him... Les Moonves and HBO both told Floyd to shut up.

Floyd likes to talk big about being a boss when he is just a star. Rich white men still run the show and Les Moonves proved it. So Floyd had to save face with his fans and acted like he wanted the fight...

Floyd will be exposed May 2nd and the excuse will be he is 38 years old and that is a good excuse because Father Time has been showing on Floyd since 2012, his last hurrah was against a weight drained Canelo, he turned back the clock for that one. Floyd likes to talk about catch weights but he forgets to mention his fights against Marquez and Canelo were catchweights...

Clearly lost? When just about everyone states Floyd CLEARLY won the first 4 and maybe 5 rounds, are you telling me Castillo shut him out the rest of the way? I was going to ask you if you thought Castillo won cause he outlanded Floyd, but then i saw your "Manny outlanded Marquez" so i figure thats the case.

I was not referring to the 40 million flat when i stated context. I figured since I seperated the sentences you would know what i was referring to, but ok.


Bolded section: Now just think for a second and not let your hate for Floyd get in the way. You just stated (or quoted) Floyd keeps all of the ppv revenue from each fight, yet Canelo, Cotto, and Maidana all got ppv upside. Does that make sense to you? Seriously. I need not make an excuse for a person who does not affect my life, Im just speaking logically. But i dont think anything will get through to some people (especially those who call people who get punched in the head and gut for a living a coward).
