Comments Thread For: Mayweather Says Fight is About Legacy, Not Money

[Build That Wall]

It's about both.

[Nightfall]

Floyd,

spell Legacy

he does'nt need to. his bank account does the spelling

[TrueBoxingFan23]

Serious question are you black?
Why are you throwing someone else fortune around like its yours?
Floyd is going to be broke after he retires will you throw his fortune then, like you are now?

Doesn't matter what ethnicity I am!! I was simply speaking on someone who was hating on another person! Basically saying your trying to be funny asking if the man can read? But who are you? And how you know he going to be broke? He was broke before, I doubt he he goes broke again which I could care less. It doesn't affect me at all!! But the hate you guys are dishing is disgusting! I really don't see anybody talking bad about PAC except saying that he will get beat!! I see a lot of racism and it's disgusting!! PAC is not the brightest either!! Both came from rough lives and have accomplished so much I just hate to see the hate for either fighter

Negotiations have been going on since last year. Why do you think Floyd said he had a surprise opponent for May last year?

He also told his father to shut up after he guaranteed the fight would be made correct? He obviously didn't want people leaking info b4 the fight was made.

You may be right. What you said happened after the Manny vs Bradley fight.


Here are interesting quotes by Holyfield then Floyd:

"In related news, former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield believes that Mayweather lacks the skills to fight Pacquiao, according to IBT. Holyfield said "Everybody is saying, 'Why doesn't he fight Pacquiao? He'll kill Pacquiao. He doesn't believe it himself. Until he believes it, the fight won't happen." - Holyfield



"I thought Pacquiao fought like an amateur also, and I wasn't pleased with his performance, but he got the victory the best way he knows how, but I wasn't pleased with his performance and I'm seeing something totally different in Pacquiao.......

.........It was kind of crazy when I heard that, but like I said before, I don't see the same pop in Pacquiao's shots. Once again, I'm not saying this guy is doing anything, but I don't see the same snap in his shots.

.........He's getting tired when he wasn't getting tired before. I'm seeing something totally different whereas me, I'm still sharp, I'm still smart, I'm not getting fatigued. I wasn't getting fatigued from the beginning, and those are the things that I see. I don't know if you guys see it, but that's what I see." - Floyd Mayweather

If it was about legacy you wouldnt have waited for JMM to ko Pac before fighting him.

So even if you beat Pac. JMM will get more credit and you are beating JMMs used goods.

I do pac gassing more, his legs are still there but i doubt he can volume punch as hard as he used to. Wich is in floyds favor but hes not as sharp and hes fatiguing as well, but he sets the pace

[ramses07]

Is Canelo at 152 softer than Margarito at 150? Was Cotto at 154 softer than Oscar De La Hoya @ 147? How about former 154 champ Shane Mosely? Was he softer coming off a KO of Margarito, or was he softer coming off a draw with Sergio Mora? Was WW champion Maidana softer than Jr. WW champion Chris Algeri?

no, but I'm not stating pacquiao fought anybody better....just stating he's bsing reason about being a legacy fight...

if he wanted legacy fights he would've pacquiao back in 2010, sergio martinez and paul williams instead of fighting a bloated marquez and old shane.

btw at least pacquiao ran through those soft opponents;dlh, maidana and old shane gave mayweather problems.

[JoeKidd]

Doesn't matter my boy! Could be for your grandma! We have a fight!!!

[Mr.Fantastic]

Then why wait all those years huh?

[General STRUGG]

dumbass. mayweather is past his prime and older than pacquiao.

older dont mean ****. considering his retirement/beauty sleep and his style of boxing and cherrypicking.
