5 Weeks Remaining For Floyd's Opponent To Train Hard. Get Moving Candidates!

[Deevel916]

Aside from some diehards and posters here, there isnt much buzz or anticipation for his supposed upcoming bout in 5 weeks. Most casuals that I know dont even know he's scheduled to fight next month.

It is kind of weird that it has not been announced yet. Makes you wonder.

Its a very risky move on Showtimes behalf. Floyd/Berto wont sell and they would take a tremendous loss given Floyd's $32mil guarantee.

If you ask me, I dont think Floyd fights next month with only 5 weeks to go.

Fat Dan showed during the Floyd/Manny build up that he really isn't in the loop with regards to Floyd so you can't take his word for anything involving Floyd.

That said, he suggested a while ago that Floyd wouldn't fight Sept. 12th and more recently that CBS/Show wants options on his possible 50th fight which is why the announcement is delayed. These both seem plausible.

WE READY. Gennady is willing to fight floyd and then go back to training for his fight on October with Lemieux. We ready, dont duck us son.

Yea, he's going to lose 20 pounds in a month then fight a dangerous puncher a month later at a higher weight class.

This ain't the 1940s, chap.

I wonder if Floyd purposely sabotaged the Sept 12th date by making believe he was going to fight on that date just so nobody else such as Canelo would take the date.

Can't see it.

Push it back to when?

September 12th (Mexican independence day) is one of the biggest weekends for Boxing. No way he pushes it back, IMO.

We will soon find out.

Why not push it back? He already held the date hostage. Too late for anyone else to put on any meaningful fights.

Fat Dan also suggested this a while ago as well. It sounds plausible given where we are right now.

I guess with social media you can save a few million on advertising and a media tour and get the same results so if he is going to fight on 9/12 I guess they figure they only need a month to build it.

Hmmm theres a thought...

If so and this is indeed the case, his immaturity just hit a new low. It's a slap to all boxing fans as well who look forward to big fights on that date.
