Mayweather is A Prick

[wordsmith]

Now understand this, I'm a fan of PBF but after watching his interview on ESPN with Brian Kenny yesterday I lost some respect for him. He said he's better than Sugar Ray Robinson and Ali, and when Kenny asked him how is he better when those guys fought way more than him. His answer was, it takes three months to build a paper view fight they couldn't pay me 10 million to fight every month. Personally either he's a dumb ass or he's just so hungry for money staying busy doesn't matter. Fighters back in the 60's and 70's fought like hell without all of this advanced medical technology and workout equipment. If Mayweather is basing his worth as a fighter off of how much he makes a fight he is truly a lost soul.

**** like that pisses me off but I just had to get that off my chest.

What can I say
Robinson was also really moneyhungry, but in his days it meant to just stay as busy as possible.
BTW Robinson>PBF.

In in Robinson's day, there was no PPV or closed circuit or whatever. You only made money off the live gate. You had to fight often if you wanted to make good money in that era. So with only maybe 20,000 in attendance, you can only make so much on one fight no matter how big it is. With PPV, you can have hundreds of thousands of people paying to watch that one fight at home, plus the live gate. If Robinson was in this era, he wouldn't be fighting 12+ times a year either...

Sugar Ray Robinson couldn't carry Floyd Mayweather's jock, just like Rocky Marciano couldn't carry Larry Holmes'.

I agree, because you have floyd's **** in your mouth

[SnoopySmurf]

Back in Robinson's day, they didn't make as much as prize fighters do nowadays. So yeah, Robinson, Ali, Louis and the rest of the old black and white TV days had to fight often.

You have to be kidding me. Robinson was twice the fighter Floyd could ever be.

[BigMKO]

Ali and Robinson both > Floyd. Hell I'd even pick a young Kostya Tszyu or Roberto Duran over Floyd.

Don't flame in NSB, buddy.

No he wasn't.
Robinson just packed a bigger punch.

Well said wordsmith!Although I gotta admit that Brian Kenny pisses me off way more than Floyd does.
