I doubt it. Why would SRL be envious of Floyd

I am a HUGE Floyd Mayweather fan, but Leonard beat better fighters

It’s not that he’s fighting a young boxer, he’s fighting another old legend, he’s just about 2 years older but Pac has more battle scars than him. If they fight again, I will pay to watch it, fighters like them come once in a lifetime.

Floyd is shot and openly admits it. And if people said the 1st fight was boring do you think it will be more interesting with them being even older? And of course I would watch it too but I am definitely not at the edge of my seat hoping to see it like I did when they originally fought, so I could go without the rematch and be fine.

I concur, Mr. Leonard. Look, even those that are ranting and raving about not watching it will eventually tune in. You might stream it but one way or another you're going to tune in. It's a great fight for both fighters. It gives Pacquiao a much deserved payday in what could and probably should be his final fight. It also brings the intrigue of avenging the 2015 loss. I like it because they're similar in age and are two of the best from a former era.

Mayweather relied on his legs a whole lot in his prime and even in his final fights. But an older fighter can't depend on his legs like he used to. That's why older fighters usually give entertaining fights. There's more of a chance that they will remain in the center of the ring and slug it out more.

Asking to see two 40 year olds go at it, one of which that has repeatedly stated that he won't do it and whose last fight was against an undersized kickboxer? What other possible reason could Sugar have?

And maybe he should stop calling himself Sugar...? Because from my perspective...

because floyd's performance in that fight was a flaw. yes, he did enough to win but it was not a good look on his part.

the thing that makes me wonder is, the floyd fans claim that floyd beat manny easily, then why wouldnt yall wanna see floyd beat manny up again?

it's because yall know deep down inside that the first fight, floyd's performance was wack! that's why yall dont wanna see the rematch because yall worried pac might pull off the win! keep it 100, dont front.

Lol... WTF? So you aren’t dis*****g the clear victory, your problem is the fight was wack? This is new for boxing...never heard fans clamour for a rematch because the fight was wack? Even when fights are razor close no one usually wants to see those wack fights. And didn’t Manny carry some burden of the Wackness since he could only find a few moments to be aggressive?

Come on bro, truth what made it wack was who won. You are just hoping Floyd will be so old and rusty that Pac will in a rigged way be able to do what he couldn’t in that original meeting. A meeting where both fighters were younger, active, healthy and knew what legacy was on the line.

The other truth is we don’t want to see it because the first fight was just okay. Not to mention Floyd has been retired so long the results would be meaningless.

I would rather see Pac verses some of these young active guys. But if Pac retired I would let him decide when his career is over just the same. Sorry bro you aren’t making sense. Just another emotional guy who wanted so badly for Floyd Mayweather to lose that fight that you would keep setting up the rematch until you get the outcome you are thirsty for. Looks like Floyd beat the game and there is nothing you can do. If Floyd wants to stay retired, the only thing Manny can do to outshine Floyd is to keep beating today’s killers.

That’s not mayweathers style to slug it out. Floyd knows he can’t move like he used to so that is telling him he is not him best self anymore. So why would he fight again when he knows he can’t compete at his best like he used to?
