Comments Thread For: Mayweather, SHO/CBS in Talks For Contract Extension?

[Guest]

He should just retire.

The money he makes is insane though.

I wonder if he'll retire come back and keep doing it until the wheels come off.

I think I would.

See rumors like this make the Berto fight look even worse IMO. If he was truly gonna retire after Berto and wanted an easy farewell fight then that's fine (even though Berto is a bit of an extreme as far as mismatches go). But if he knows he's gonna keep fighting after this then why is the #1 p4p fighter wasting his time like this? Why not face Thurman, Khan, or Garcia, they have all already fought on PBC and are under Haymon. (Purposely left out Brook, Bradley, GGG because they're not PBC). How can anyone be cool with him claiming "TBE" and fighting such a mismatch if he's not actually gonna retire after? If he is still gonna get paid his huge guarantee then why does it have to be an easy opponent? Why not give casuals who are watching for the first time on CBS an actual fight instead of a joke like this Berto mismatch?

But Brook Fights on Showtime I See Floyd Fighting Brook/Thurman or Khan For His 50th fight but they have to fight a top opponent or two like Khan/Thurman Brook/Bradley just for Floyd to acknowledge a fight and maybe some where there is a rematch I think with Canelo Cotto or Pacquiao but he can't fake the injury this time im like be prepared to fight hard

According to the accountants on boxingscene, these floyd fights arent making Showtime/CBS any money...yet they are signing him to an extension.

Floyd ducks Khan in the way you duck the person in the office you say "How are you?" and they talk to you for 30 minutes about how they actually are.

If anyone deserved a SD L it was Castillo, think that was the only truly debatable fight of his imho (I had it 7-5 Mayweather). Maidana won 4 rounds, ODLH had his moments too.

I had it 8-4 Castillo but we all knew Castillo wasn't getting a decision after Floyd had just signed a 5 fight deal with HBO and that happened to be his first fight. You know it is rigged when he won by 4 points or more on each scorecard.

Say goodbye to any possibility of a Pacquiao rematch or a Bumlovekin showdown.

HBO had better PRAY Canelo beats Cotto. If not, say hello to Mayweather Cotto II for the 160lb title on Showtime PPV...

They'll have to offer him a lot of money, the guy has been boxing for too long as it is, and he is nearing 40. He doesn't need to continue fighting, and that hunger is needed. Regardless just for conversation, I imagine the 3 names Floyd would fight in those 3 fights are Khan, Pacquiao II and Cotto/Canelo II, maybe Danny Garcia or Keith Thurman if one of those fights fall through.

I really hope this happens. If anyone dominated a sport like Mayweather dominates boxing right now, everyone would say they shouldn't be retiring.

"The king stay the king."

My thoughts exactly!

Means a Pac-rematch is looming??
