Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Berto a Done Deal For 9/12, Says TMZ

[TBear]

Free TV because the premium channels would not accept this horrible of a match up. Lets not act like it is a gift to the fans. It is the opposite!

[Sweet Pea 50]

As I said in the other thread, Mayweather is getting paid 30+ million to fight Andre Berto on CBS.

[Golden G]

who is a threat though?
Who has floyd ducked or is ducking?

We all know a bradley fight can't happen.
brook for gavin
khan beat algeri-but looked like ****
porter beat broner-but looked like ****
Thurman beat collazo-looked like ****

Rofl if all this is true. And don't dare think it's Jr. giving back as he would state.

It's more like, Jr. doesn't want to embarrass himself with abysmal PPV #s following the Pac fight because that would prove moreso how much of a draw he really is without an A side opponent.

This fight is a joke, and will only be receiving attention because it's free. Nobody would pay a dime to watch it on PPV and Jr. knows this.

Please wake up and join us in reality.

Mayweather has headlined the 3 biggest PPV's ever, two as the A side.

He's involved in the only 3 PPV's that have surpassed 2 Million buys.

He's the highest earning athlete of all time.

Safe to say he's not a draw.

Had someone floated around the idea of Berto as a potential Floyd opponent prior to Floyd mentioning him, even his most diehard fans would have laughed and dismissed him as an unworthy opponent. Now that it looks like he may in fact be Floyds opponent for Sept, the Floydboys are in full defense mode trying to legitimize this farce of a fight.

No one needs to legitimize it. Mayweather has nothing left to prove. Don't care who he fights, I'll enjoy and wish him farewell.

Remember when his deal with Showtime was a flop? It only produced the two most lucrative fights ever and averaged about a mil PPV's on all the other ones.

No one is defending the fight or arguing that it is a legitimate fight. Obviously it's not a legitimate fight Berto is unranked.

What people are doing is understanding that it is a farewell fight. Fufilling the last fight on his contract with an easy swan song of a fight before he rides off into the sunset. If his contract was 5 fights and not 6, he wouldn't be having this fight.

He's already beaten everybody, he's beaten all the guys he's been asked to. 13 time world champion in 5 weight classes, beaten 10 #1 ranked fighters, numerous P4P fighters, made all the money, headlined the 3 biggest PPV's ever.

He literally has nothing left to do or prove.

Hence, the farewell fight to finish his contract. For free no less.

That's if this does happen.

And also, people talked about this fight before Floyd mentioned it.
