Comments Thread For: Mayweather vs. WBO: Letters Exchanged, Extension Set

[hectari]

I already said the best fight for Floyd was a undisputed welterweight match against Kell Brook, Floyd would cap out with a history making fight, only a handful of fighters ever held the undisputed unified championship moniker.

Battle of unbeatens, and the Brits will come out in droves. That is a huge fight the most logic bout, not a Khan fight.

Floyd can out box Brook, Brook is like a robot who likes to grapple and hit, Floyd knows he will not be able to tie up brook so he will get on his bike and just throw scoring shots with no meaning and win, he will never lose a decision in vegas. I bet you can knock Floyd down 3 times and still lose the fight or maybe get a draw, MGM will make sure he doesn't lose, he showed loyalty to them for years and brings them big money. Its the most logical fight for him.

It doesn't Matter. Mayweather plans to retire as the Undisputed Welterweight Champion of the World. Mayweather vs Brook is happening. 49-0. No more after that. September is his last fight.


You can sell many things

Undisputed champion
Mayweathers Last Fight
And Both Fighters are undefeated, SO SOMEBODIES 0 HAS TO GO.

That equals big bucks and lots of PPV Buys.

Well if mayweather picks brook I would actually rather see that on YouTube than mayweather vs. Khan. Alls I'm saying is that khan is still a much bigger draw than brook and would make alot more money and that it looks like brook vs Rios is almost a done deal which seems to me like it would set up brook vs pacquiao with the winner facing mayweather next year for mayweathers 50th and he could command alot more being a free agent

[jjsmyth87]

Of course die hard boxing fans would rather see mayweather vs. Brook next, but boxing is a business and mayweather will be looking to make the most money his last couple fights before he retires.

Mayweather may not be able to read a book, but hes able to get the networks to pay huge money for his fights. And you better believe he will not turn down another 200 million dollar payday next year in a pacquiao rematch if pacquiao can grab the ibf title from kell brook. If he can beat a healthy pacquiao in a rematch and retire as the undisputed welterweight champion at 50-0, I think he could have a claim to be top 5 all time. I think the first pacquiao fight was a fluke considering he had to get surgery a few days after the fight and it was clear he was one handed for most of the fight

Fyi Floyd already beat Pac so why would a rematch be for the Undisputed Championship? Pac has NO titles to bring to the table fyi...so in REALITY , Pac wouldnt be involved in a fight for the "undisputed" title...thatd be Brook who is the IBF Champ...Not Pac or Khan.

Very unprofessional move by the WBO to attempt to strip Floyds title. "Well he said he was gonna vacate his titles doe" whats even more petty is that that TopRank always gets dibs on the HBO title..errr.. i mean WBO. A santioning body just making decisions based on hearsay is low as it gets, even worse than the WBC honoring "mandatories". Yes, Floyd "said" he was "going to" vacate his titles but nothing had been official. "he said he was gonna vacate his titles doe"

It was not hearsay. It was agreed beforehand that the title would be vacant.

As courtesy we handed @FloydMayweather WBO belt- and he accepted it- but it was agreed beforehand that should he win, title would be vacant.

So it seems like Mayweather wants to keep the belt.

Interesting.

Yeah,,, I thought he was vacating all of them, but hanging onto WBO could mean a few different things..

1- floyd is fighting khan, but marketing-wise he wants it to be a title fight to boost sales

2- looking to unify vs Brook

3- floyd just being a **** to top rank and doesn't want them getting wbo title

Paco Scum's twitter is not proof of an agreement. If there wasn't an agreement it would have been mentioned in their bull**** resolution in the article.

The WBO are lying c*nts.

[B Phontain]

brook to unify, or Garcia cuz...why not at this point?

he vacated the wbo. not sure about the others tho....i really wanted to see him unify vs brook for the hell of it. i guess im alone in thinking that would be a perfect send off for him

looks like i might finally get my wish....

I read on fnews that they wanted Floyd to pay a 200k fee to keep it. That's ridiculous, hope he doesn't.
