Comments Thread For: Mayweather Confident Opponent For 9/12 Will Be "Solid"

[Larry the boss]

The only solid opponent is GGG. Former feather weights and 130 fighters that I know who challenged a Middle weight are Henry Armstrong and Oscar Delahoya until Floyd can challenge this feat I have both of these Fighters above him in all time rankings. Just remember he barley beat a shot Oscar Delahoya so that victory is similar to Leon Spinks beating Ali

were Oscar or Henry Armstrong 38 going on 39 when they did that?

Lol @ CBS/Showtime doesn't give a fk lol...yah they are happy about losing money..remember they had to split money with HBO for the Pac...

Amir Khan PPV will do about 600K... and will do decent numbers in the UK..that's about it...nobody will care about that fight in the U.S. or other countries...

They just don't care, it is over for them even if it lost the full amount it does nothing to them really they just report and it write it off. They won't even lose close to the full amount either.

I am sorry but your estimation means less than nothing, and it being his "retirement fight" they will be able to drum up plenty of business to cover most if their expenses of not make a little bit.

The backlash against Floyd for stinking out the Pac fight will be evident in his mext fight so I won't be surprised if he waits for Pac, Canelo, or Cotto before he fihhts again. He knows he can't sell it on his own fake ppv a s s.

He's going to fight Amere Con for sure...it's already a foregone conclusion...he'll make his 32 mil guarantee... definitely won't make a penny more... and then he'll retire after posturing for a Pacquiao rematch on HBO..that'd be my prediction...

Really? How are they covering Floyd's 32 mil with low-pay per view numbers and not to mention Amre Con will want millions too, no? Con will want 4-5 mil..something like what Tim Bradley got for Pacquiao..even if Con settles for 3 mil..that's 35 mil right there plus they are going to have to promote the fight no? You think people are buying Showtime...to watch another Mayweather all Access with Amere Con? Stop it...

Floyd is taking the fight because he knows damn well it's his last big pay day for a low-level opponent... nobody is paying Mayweather anything unless they have the opponent agreed to first after this last fight...this fight is basically Floyd cashing 32 mil on an easy Amere Con fight...before his contract runs out...Showtime would never want this fight if Floyd didn't have a contractual right to a fight...

This is the last big payday Floyd is going to get. His fights have become unwatchable. This will be it for him I hope..

That money is spent to them, on a company with billions in revenue 40 million ain't really **** and losing that one time would be meaningless to their long term success or failure.

I hate to break it to you but the fight will probably do a lot better than you think and Floyd if he wants to fight on will get paid insanely well.

It has been over a month,get over it

[IronDanHamza]

I doubt you care "what makes financial sense" either lol...you just want to see your idol hang on to this fictional and artificial "undefeated" moniker...

Well you're correct, I don't care.

I don't care who Floyd fights for his final fight at all.

I would rather it be a lesser opponent than Khan which I feel is an unnecessary risk for his final fight but it will be Khan.
