Comments Thread For: Spence: Mayweather Earned Right To Pick Berto/Mayfield

He also said he was gonna fight Alexander before Guerrero. Putting Berto and Mayfield out there makes Khan look a lot better.

Not the Same and I never got that... How was Alexander a worse then Guerrero? Lex was the IBF Champ and only lost to Bradley at the time.

Thurman fighting CALLAZO

khan fought Chris (Almost back fired)

Danny Garcia fought the great rod
Salka.

Brook is fighting bums

Triple g is fighting not so spectacular opponents.

Floyd has had the better competition out of all of them in recent fights if he wants to get an blatant cherry pick he can because everybody else is already eating from the same tree any way.

Legacy wise it should not hurt him but finanancialy no matter who he fights now he takes a loss after the manny fight.

I'm really not that bothered now. He has nothing to prove anymore and he's on his way out. Give him this one and just let the younger guys in the division take care of each other because there are plenty of good fights once he's done within a few months.

I'd prefer to see the likes of Thurman v Brook fight each other without having an L to Mayweather on one of their records. It's a new generation now and i'd like to see them battle it out for the best, rather than being outboxed for 12 rounds in a lackluster fight by a guy who's about to retire.

Give him Mayfield, stack the card and enjoy a good night of boxing. He's proven he was the best of his era already. It's not going to get any bigger than beating Pacquiao anyway. If he beats Khan then Khan was a bum who struggled with Algieri, if he beats Brook then Brook was a guy who never fought anyone but porter, If he beat Porter, he was a guy who lost to Brook already, If he beats Thurman they'll say he was never tested etc. etc..

The excuses will flow anyway no matter who he fights and beats, as they always do..

This is all a simple redirection ploy. No one wants Khan to get the fight so Mayweather starts mentioning Berto and Mayfield...suddenly everyone says never mind, Khan would be better.

No one is questioning whether Mayweather has the right to pick one of those fights. We just really do not care to watch either of those matchups.

TBH for $30 mil Showtime have the right to demand a better opponent than them two, but it won't be one of them anyway.

Nah, I'm sure Mayweather is working on putting together a good enough undercard and whatever else to push the PPVs up some. Though I would not be excited to be Showtime and hearing these fighters names.

Does it ? At least Berto's got a chin !

Rising welterweight contender Errol Spence (17-0, 14KOs) has no problem with his mentor, Floyd Mayweather Jr., taking on Andre Berto or Karim Mayfield on September 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Most media members were in disbelief when Mayweather continuously named Berto and Mayfield as the leading candidates for his next pay-per-view outing - which Mayweather claims will be the final fight of his pro career.

Spence: "Floyd please give me free cars and money. Ill be your favorite ass kisser."

[Larry the boss]

I dont care who he fights in September,hell he can fight PacBoy if he wants

[Slick_Rick]

Earned right? cos he made a sh|t load of money off fans from a muched hype fight which was a pretty boring, decision, which left a lot to be desired.

He should be repaying the fans with someone who is going to test him, but yeah he has earned right to fight some soft touch. Guess he has to fight Berto, after Ortiz and Guerrero got fights from beating him, its only fair, right!?

The only way I am buying Floyd's next fight is if hes an underdog. Hes a heavy favorite over the two names I am hearing.
