Mayweather will walk away with approx. $275m

[Porter's Dad]

talking to floyd fans is like talking to the wall, these dudes are special

I blame myself for even trying engage with them on any level. It's essentially a futile exercise. I mean, let's sum up some of these responses....

"Hmm, salty tears. Butt-hurt tears. My guy won. Look, he mad"

"Hmmm, you owned yourself. Self-contradictory".

"Hmm, all those tickets sold mean there is no way Floyd isn't the p4p a superstar entertainer".

"Hmmm, racist".

Lol. There is no way I'm going to sit back and let these people try to deny that Mayweather isn't a gigantic bore in the ring. Worst PPV star ever. A pure marketing gimmick, who exploits the boxing rules to stifle the **** out of a boxing fight - then has his fans blame the opponent for not making his ass less boring

Duran, Leonard, Hearns, De La Hoya, Trinidad, Pacquaio were/are pure entertainers. Excitement was woven into the style, that's what made them great, that's what makes their fightography so brilliant and worth revisiting again and again.

These dudes in this thread are in serious denial. The Fight of the Century was a complete disaster, the whole world were ****ting on our sport and but in their world, Floyd won and made lots of money, and so everything was OK.

For once, the casuals are right. That fight was an embarrassment.

I said it before the fight (and it shouldn't be hard to find in my posting history) - but when you rely on Floyd Mayweather to come through with an entertaining event, you are asking for trouble.

Thats actually a good post, id green k you if i could. But, dont you think pacquiao work as hard as floyd? maybe not now but earlier in his career (prior to marqeuz knockout)

Is true Floyd (with roger and SR) had everything he needed to learn from and take his skills far beyond his uncle and father did

Manny was just fighting for food to get out of poverty

The reason why im a pacquiao fan is because he fights with his heart, floyd fight with his skills.

I mean in the FIGHT OF THE CENTURY, even floyd sr was mad at floyd for not being more aggressive. Floyd shouldve gone for the knockout or at least try, but he didnt..... he did the less possible to win. I dont find proud in that.

The proof is in the pudding. Manny still has difficulty cutting off the ring. Floyd's right hand peppered him all night. Manny kept getting check hooked and couldn't keep Floyd cornered.

Manny's story is inspirational, but getting out of a 3rd world hell hole doesn't mean he necessarily developed elite boxing skills. You don't always need skills to win, but there comes points in a career where you do.

Ok, that's fine if that's why you are a fan. He didn't fight with heart May 2nd. Had he, his lack of skills in certain area would have been more pronounced because Floyd fights with just as much heart, he just does it differently.

Things like intelligence and heart have different forms.

Go for the KO is a foolish term. KO's are not chased, they come to you. Every shot isn't a KO shot. Had Manny showed the heart of Gatti or Hatton, he likely would have gotten KO'd.

Sorry dude, but lets stop asking Floyd to make it easier for his opponents. I know you and others want to see him lose, but don't you want the guy that beats Floyd to have earned it?

How about that Trinidad fight? Hmmmm


You said before the fight Mayweather would lose too. Check that post history.

Boxing fans relied on Manny, he didn't come through. Manny was supposed to be different from JMM, ODH, Shane, Ghost,. Canelo etc etc.

He choose not to be and you blame Floyd.

[ADP02]

Floyd says all kinds of stuff, and it never got serious at that point.

No it was not too low to be a starting point, because that was more than Floyd made against Oscar. He obviously wanted to be Oscar in that situation but if Manny and Top Rank were serious at that point it would have went differently.

Those offers weren't even presented directly to Floyd or his people, they were done through the media for spin. If they would have actually went to Floyd to work it out something could have happened, you never know how it would go. They never tried and played the spin game which you ate up.

That still doesn't answer my question to you though, Manny might have made a better percentage at that point if they tried since he was hotter at that point, did he make the right call then?

If we are going down rabbit holes that one is just as valid as yours.

It was 50/50 before that and Manny was already a big PPV attraction in 2012. Can't compare to pre-Oscar Floyd.

What I remember is you Floyd fans agreeing that Manny deserved the $40 million. You all went along with that charade. If there was pressure from all sides (including his fans) perhaps Floyd would have seen the light.

[THE REED]

Mike Tyson made 300 million in his career...

Floyd made 275 million in one night. It's literally insane.

[Doctor_Tenma]

There was a time when most fought like Floyd did. the difference is they never quit punching like Manny or Canelo. The greatest fights ever were not mindless brawlers against each other but great fighters who fought inside, boxed moved, cut off the ring.

The greats were great because they had great opponents.

You just don't get it-the best athletes combine skill and athleticism. Athleticism alone can only take you so far at the pro level.

Kevin Durant said something I liked-Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

Manny just never developed the skills to defeat someone with the talent and skill Floyd possesses. Floyd however, worked hard enough that he developed the skills to deal with fighters that are faster, left handed, taller, heavier, more athletic.

Sadly, fans like you appreciate less talented men who don't work as hard as Floyd because they are easier for you to connect with.

Damn good post

[joseph5620]

I see you ignored the rest of the post and ur comeback is with the "common sense" very original. If you dont have a real argument why even reply?

BTW Floyd is 38 so hes almost 39....

38 is almost 40. Again, simple math and common sense.

[MrRolltide91]

How about that Trinidad fight? Hmmmm

lol he said mentally Floyd wasn't in a good place.

[BoxingLegend89']

38 is almost 40. Again, simple math and common sense.

yea 39 doesnt exist lol, simple math indeed. Youre trying too hard
