    Why are Floyd Fans so Scared of a Rematch???

    Can someone explain to me why Floyd fans are so scared of a rematch with Pacquiao? He won pretty convincingly the first time around and I see no reason why he shouldn't be able to maintain that edge.

    The fight wouldn't sell as much as the first one but it would easily be the biggest fight of the year and more interesting that most of the crap we've been getting. Not to mention it would cement Floyd's legacy by getting to 50-0...

    ...so why are Floyd fans so opposed to this fight? They are desperate for it not to happen. They are scared of something but I can't put my finger on it. Personally I think Pacquiao is probably done and the result would be the same (maybe Pac does a bit better).

    Why aren't Floyd fans confident in their fighter? He's never let them down before. It's almost as if they believe the shoulder injury was real. Lord knows why . . .

    Dude enough.
    First of all fans aren't scared they're not the one's fighting.
    But to your point, fans don't want to PAY to see another rematch because the first fight wasn't even close. I know you have mental midgets like Rath and Spoon who desperately want to tell you otherwise by giving you slow motion video (simply ridiculous), but the fight wasn't close.
    10-2 Floyd. So there really isn't any reason for it.

      Who said you have to pay for it? I watched the fight and didn't pay a dime. That's the miracle of the internet.

      If you are don't want a fight to happen because you think you have to pay for it then you are kind of an idiot. It's almost entirely irrelevant these days.

          Because they are both old, washed up, pushing 40, it would be meaningless and would be a cash grab along the lines of Hopkins/Jones 2.

              Yes Pay. It's what boxing fans do. They pay for PPV's, pay for HBO, and Showtime. Trolls like you on the other hand beg for people to stream them fights and come on here mainly to complain about fights.

              And again the fight wasn't close enough to warrant a rematch.

                Hilarious. The Mayweather haters WANT to put another 150 Million in Floyd's pocket AND have him crush their dreams for the umpteenth time.

                Why do y'all do this to yourselves?

                    While I respect both fighters and admire what they've done for the sport, I wouldn't call myself a hardcore fan of either. Mayweather won in a way that doesn't really justify a rematch. It was a clear victory in a non-competitive and uneventful fight.

                    I think most people had enough of the hype leading up to the fight actually being made (which went on for years), coupled with all the wwe/circus **** that followed once the fight was signed. No one wants to see nor pay for that **** again.
