Comments Thread For: Mayweather To 9/12 Critics: In MMA, 10-9 Guys Get Shots

[boxingfocus]

Firstly, we're about to see Floyd's real PPV appeal. He's always either loaded the card with another star (e.g. Canelo on the undercard vs Guerrero) or fought another PPV dance partner, ever since De La Hoya.

Now we will find out just how big a pull Money Mayweather really is - and it won't be pretty.

I'm gonna keep the popcorn for the Sunday.

Secondly, anybody knows MMA fighters don't get easy rides. They don't fight 20 bums. Undefeated after 20 fights in MMA is rare, and usually only special fighters achieve it. In boxing, almost every prospect hits 20 fights before getting in the ring with a challenge.

Haymon is giving Berto a pay back. People are complaining but in my opinion Pacquiao turned out to be the worst opponent Floyd has fought in years so give Berto a break because he may just give more effort than Manny did.

This is a tired argument. Manny being so terrible is what led to Floyd barely doing anything himself? They both gave their worst efforts. Manny did nothing but Floyd barely did enough to win those rounds. Holding and bending over whenever someone gets close doesn't indicate it's an easy fight.

Real Flo mos will buy this garbage fight. Even Floyd jr knows it's a garbage fight.
Berto was driving a cab when Floyd jr call him and offered the fight.

TBE The Berto Event

Yeah, because those guys that are 10-9 are pitted up against the 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10th guys in the division. They have to fight ALL the best. They don't get to pick and chose like your corny ass.

He's chosen top 4 in the class for every fight in the last 10 yrs up until now.

Won't buy the fight, probably hit a bar, but I am happy for Berto. The guy gives his all every fight, gave up his biggest opportunity for his people after the earthquake and continues to fight for them giving speeches to the UN and the like, and fought clearly with one arm to a loss but didn't try to knock the guy who beat him. Hopefully this is a cash out for him, maybe one more for the guy who tries to beat him better than Floyd did, then he can live the life he wants, maybe open a business or something. No fighter in boxing is more deserving outside the ring.

floyd would make a good politician with all his spin tactics

mma is harder to dominate because of the many different styles and skills needed

in the ufc their fighters don't fight bums for the first 30 fights of their careers. they are matched tough from the start. if berto was matched tough from the start he would be 30-25 or so

sharmba mitchell wasn't ranked, maidana was ranked #8, marquez and hatton weren't ranked in his division so no he hasn't

That's not the point, or the fact. The point is not who Mayweather is fighting, I dont care. The point is the reason UFC fighters have a quite a few losses is because they're constantly going through the gauntlet.

What great opponents?Brian Stan?Michael Bisping?Dude just give it up already,Sonnen had to move up 20 lbs to take on the best fighter in the world.Rousey fights glorified soccer moms and they recycle corpses like Wanderlei Silva and Rampage for champs to fight all the time.
Brock Lesnar won a title in under 5 fights.

Jeremy Horn, Michael Bisping, HOF Forrest Griffin, and HOF Anderson Silva prior to Jon Jones. Give it up boss. The fact you didn't even mention Griffin is laughable. AND like I said, and you failed to pay attention....Sonnen is the exception, not the rule. The one off....you obviously dint know what the means. Keep defendig this trash your idol is cramming down your throat.

Berto is **** Berto has never EVER won a meanjnful fight in his life. His claim to fame is getting the leaving **** beat out of him by Victor Ortiz. He beat Freddy Henrnadez doe
