Comments Thread For: Mayweather Announcement Getting Close, Says Espinoza

[AddiX]

Floyds opponent probably does know already, as both GBP and Haymon are waiting for each other to announce there ppv first.

Floyd die hards are like "the opponent knows already"

I can't stand the diva, but I'm 95% confident that his opponent knows and has signed a nda.

Casual fans that know nothing about boxing are always talking about Floyd fighting someone. GGG can stop being scared himself. He always says that he wants to unify the division, well he just announced a fight in October but before that there are three other 160 pound champions besides Cotto. Any of them will fight him. He can stop trying to fight a 147 pound fighter and a 154 pound fighter. He can fight someone in his actual weight class. Floyd will stay in his and fight. No need for Floyd to fight someone two weight classes higher. I do not know see anyone asking Manny to fight GGG when he was champion. Why not? They both fight at 147 but I already know that people are going to say that Manny is too small. Well, if Manny is too small then why is Floyd not? Stop with double standards people and learn the sport of boxing and how weight classes work.

Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Showtime Sports, indicates that Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26KOs) is very close to making an official announcement regarding his next fight, which is scheduled to take place on September 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

"Personally I believe that it will be announced this week, possibly next week. But we're getting close," Espinoza told BoxingScene.com.

Are you only allowed a 6 week training camp for Floyd? So if you want a 10 week training camp that is out of the question?

Fat Dan is saying that the holdup is SHowtime wanting options should Floyd return for a 50th fight. I get that, but if Floyd fulfilled his contract, CBS/SHowtime should stay out of the way.

Just hope they work this out and announce the fight already. This is getting ridiculous.

Just another case of the guy getting every advantage in the fight. For those who wonder why guys hate Mayweather and think Al Haymon is bad for boxing, here it is. It's not hating. It's not racism. It's this garbage. Play games with the fans and sandbag the opponent. Mr. Even Playing Field.
