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

[Publius]

Floyd fans aren't scared, if anything most Floyd fans would love another rematch so their boy could easily beat Manny again.

Boxing fans on the other hand, don't want the fight again because if Floyd does come back, we'd rather spend our money on a worthy fight than a fight in which Floyd dominated.
Seriously maybe you're stream was bad when you watched the fight, but watch it again in HD. Fight wasn't even close.

Haha so which is it? Floyd fans seem to disagree over how much it would sell. One guy says it would gross 150 million but you don't seem to think so. Why? Because in the context of our particular discussion it benefits you to downplay the numbers.

We both know all people care about are big names. It's why Canelo v. Khan is such a great fight from a purely business perspective. It'll sell a lot. Same is true for May v Pac, for better or worse.

I'm a Floyd fan and I'd love to see a rematch.

I don't think it would be much different but I'd still want to see it.

Rather, Manny was a markedly better fighter in 2009. His decline was much steeper than Floyds imo.

You may be right. As I said, who knows what would happen? All I know is it would have been a more interesting and worthy fight. I don't think anyone would disagree on that.

Floyd was much better as well, which is why the fight didn't happen.

You seem to be creating a lot of false narrative threads to gain attention.

I have no interest in discussing why the fight didn't happen. I'm simply saying it's unfortunate it did not happen. Are you honestly claiming you wouldn't have been more interested in that fight? Alright I guess.

I don't post very often, only when I have something to say. I suppose I'm sorry if that upsets you.

You lost me. I don't know what you're talking about anymore. How does anything here benefit me?
I am not saying Floyd/Pac 2 won't sell, of course it would sell. Even if it sold just a quarter of what it sold last time puts it at 1 million PPV's.

What I am saying is that myself and other real boxing fans have no interest in watching a fight in which one fighter already dominated. This wasn't a close fight. I couldn't care less how much money it would generate as I don't see a dime from it.

I didn't claim anything.

The false narrative threads don't upset me. I just think honest threads make the board and the discussion better.

Why are people starting more and more Mayweather Threads after the Canelo vs Khan match up was announced?

Exactly. you want to see a fight where there is some sense of mystery going in. I can't see the point of a rematch since you had a clear, definitive winner.

I guess if you guarantee Manny will throw punches than maybe a rematch is justified.

Man, the IQ of the Manny fans on this board is frighteningly low smh.

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 . . .

I disagree. I think a rematch will sell just as much as the first one, might even bring in more numbers. If there's a rematch they can use the shoulder injury as a reason why the fight wasnt exiciting. U know the causals will eat this up all day everyday.
