"TBE" gives his opponents less than 2 months to train? lol

[darius45]

Actually, the person who created this thread and the people who support him don't know this. They actually think that Floyd will decide who he wants to fight and then call the guy on the phone and tell him to start training, with no negotiations. Then he will announce the opponent to the media on the same day. ******ity reigns supreme on this message board.

You got some inside info. When does Floyd call up his opponent to tell him it's on? How many weeks out? Does Floyd give his potential opponent the MOST time needed for a training camp or the LEAST time needed?

LOL I hope Mayweather does things ****ty like this. Shows up at Shawn Porter's house at 9am on July 25 with a giant check for $5,000,000, a bunch of balloons & be like "guess what Shawn....you just won a fight with...Floyd Mayweather on September 12".

You completely misread what he said. Point went over your head I think.

No I read correct. He assumes Floyd's opponent is made aware that he is the one or at least in the running well before the official announcement... I get that... But I asked how much time Floyd gives his opponent(considering even that)... the most or least amount of time sufficient for a training camp? Given it's Floyd, I imagine he plays with EVERYONE...including his opposition... this is a guy that came out with a Circus on his ring walk remember.

To borrow a line from one of the great American poets of our time, Suga Free:

"If you stay ready, you ain't got to get ready."

he does this everytime, so his oppenent have so little time to train and then make sure they are exhausted by overloading them with press obligations and that usually enough for regular fighters like cotto or ortiz or guerrero but with beast such as Canelo he will also drain you just in case.

Hilarious. Canelo did have the xfactor tho. If he would have just won more than 2 rds the whole fight, cj ross would have had canelo in a landslide

Oh I see. I think you're missing the part where it's not a matter of Floyd 'giving an opponent enough time to train'. It's not as if these fighters are under Mayweather Promotions.

Negotiations have to take place before a fight is agreed to, meaning whoever Floyds camp is negotiating with would make their fighter aware well in advance before the fight is announced to the public.

In other words, it's not up to Mayweather when his opponent begins to train. One would assume that if a person's camp is in negotiations to fight Mayweather they would have the common sense to start preparing themselves in the event that negotiations are successful. That's what any professional athlete that's serious about their craft would do.

People are assuming Mayweather is already at least beginning to train for his fight. Whether he is or isn't is irrelvant. Everyone knows that his next fight is on September 12th, his next potential opponent included.

Anyone that would wait until Mayweather officially announces the fight to begin training obviously isn't serious about boxing and probably shouldn't be fighting him to begin with.

In order to fight Floyd you have to agree ahead of time and sign a preliminary contract; so obviously you know by the time he announces it. Neg have to take place ahead of any announcement.
