Comments Thread For: WBO: Mayweather Champ, Bradley-Vargas For Interim

[SlySlickSmooth]

If I was Bradley I wouldn't even take no damn WBO interim belt.

Kind of ironic Floyd's company takes the sink or swim approach when he hasn't taken that approach in his career since the Corrales fight...

Isn't Floyd fighting Berto or Victor Ortiz in September?

Its convenient to ignore that Canelo and Pacquiao were both viewed as dangerous fights that he would never accept, now that the fights have passed and we're back to the usual "Oh! he wont fight THIS guy though, He takes no risks!" shtick

He probably will fight Berto, Mayfield or Ortiz in September but hes earned that right after slaying the "boogeyman" of his career.

Even 5 years ago the question was always "Well, what would they do after they fought eachother, whats next?"

The answer was always, even back then, nothing.. Mayweather-Pacquiao was always going to be the climax of their careers, their legacies are set and everything after is just extra money in their pockets.

yep if Floyd and Manny wants to keep fighting, they might as well fight on network tv or regular showtime/hbo.

I think if Mayweather really wanted to go out with a ****, he would fight on network television for his last fight with a stacked undercard. The ratings would be through the roof, but thats naive of me.

Yea, he mentioned it in at least 3 interviews

He's getting his promoter hat on and Spence in his eyes will lead the way

As Floyd retires, Spence wins his first title, which was previously held by Floyd, thats quite a story, like a passing of the baton

But Thurman and Porter are risky fights, maybe Floyd see's something in Spence that we have yet to see?

He sees talent in Spence, but what Floyd is doing for Spence is nothing that we have not seen in the past. He got Ishe Smith a title shot really quickly at 154. Then got Mickey Bey a title shot quick too. He was trying to get Vargas a title shot with Khan at one point, saying if Khan beats Vargas then he can get a shot. Again, nothing out of the ordinary.

He doesnt pay attention to records, just their ability.

Instead of carefully building the fighter up and further developing them, His approach is more like if the fighter is ready then why waste time

Super risky approach, and I think he should just use his name in the promotion and stop being a matchmaker, play it from the sidelines and just become a trainer, hes mentioned over and over that he wants to be a trainer after his career instead of a promoter, commentator or whatever

200K to fight for a title they are trying to take away? Mayweather should just bin that belt

[paulf]

Either way the winner of Bradley-Vargas becomes full champ after September when Floyd retires. Then Manny can fight for his belt again in the spring; I assume they think Vargas is winning.

I think theyre wrong.

Brook is now on top of the list , His fight with Rios is not official yet?
