No thread for the Mayweather fight?

[jjjayb]

So far the undercard fights have been fantastic!

LOL this is about the type of thread I expected from this fight.

Even the Floyd ball washers have died down about his ducking opponents. Floyd outclassed Guerrero but that's because Guerrero shouldn't have been there.

Floyd is also already starting his ducking campaign for Canelo. They asked him after fight if he would take on Canelo and Floyd said "Let me get home and rest and then I'll make the decision."

The best chance for a big money day has come and gone.

He's a punch-ducking bitch...

It makes no sense for Mayweather to answer that question. He wants to fight the next guy that will earn him the most money. I doubt he knows that 5 minutes after the fight, and he doesn't want to lock himself into something by throwing out a name.

The fight that will earn him the most MOney is Canelo Alvarez! FLoyd can draw a crowd and Canelo has an insane following and that bandwagon is growing and growing to insane amounts.

The problem is Floyd can fight someone else for a little less money and still win. Canelo has a great chin and is a heavy hitter. The only thing this kid lacks now is tip top conditioning, but he's only 22 years old thats coming in the next year or 2.

I agree it's Canelo, but it still makes no sense to say that in the ring minutes after the fight. Focus on the fight in front of you, then weigh your options and make a decision about your next fight later. The promotion and PPV buys will still be there.

If Canelo wins 3 rounds against Floyd, I'll be shocked.

Canelo is fast and big. He will give floyd fits. It would just be interesting cause lets face it, floyd isnt in his prime anymore (its not to say he's not really good) but Canelo is getting better and better and is not even entered his prime yet.

It would be interesting though. I'd say he would have a chance. Then again Floyd knows that, thats why he didnt want to sign anything to fight the kid. So, it wont happen. He wil lend up fighting a 40 year old JMM again.

Floyd is his own promoter essentially so he would have to work out the details before signing to fight anyone. Golden Boy works for Floyd, not the other way around. It's not like Pacquaio/Marquez where Bob Arum figures that all out for them, and also takes a huge cut for himself.

Canelo would fight floyd for pretty cheap! he's 22. He can afford to not have a insane payday. He's not Manny. The fight can be made EASILY. Its just if Floyd wants too or not, which he doesnt.

Also, the fight supposedly drew under a million buys, which is ****ing horrible, the fans are now saying **** you floyd fight someone worth it. lol

I think they will fight in Sept, but like I said before, you don't accept that fight until you know all the details and 5 minutes after a fight isn't the time for that.

The ducking of Canelo started once Mayweather wouldn't agree to the September fight. Floyd verbally agreed with Canelo's camp that in exchange for being on Floyd's Cinco De Mayo card that Floyd would agree to a September 16th weekend fight. Once it came time to put the pen to the paper Floyd backed out of a commitment to fight Canelo in September.

Floyd won't take the fight though. He doesn't give a ahit about boxing fans. He just wants a 0 in the loss column and some big paychecks for fighting people who have no business in the ring with him.

Floyd knows Canelo has the speed and power to knock him out. He can take the plan that Cotto had and actually execute it to a win. Canelo came out against Trout to silence his critics who said he couldn't fight defensively and to show Floyd he was ready to step up to that level.

Where is the contract that was offered?

[kcxiv]

it was just a contract that the next fight for both of them if they both won, that they would fight one another. FLoyd said he'd do it, if Canelo fought Trout on the undercard. So when Canelo was advised to get it in writing. Floyd said naw. So Canelo pulled out.

Yes. Floyd wanted Canelo for the PPV numbers and only that. He has no intention of fighting Canelo.

Floyd would crush Canelo. And after he does, everyone will talk about how Canelo was too young and how Floyd is ducking the new fighter they've decided to prop up

This tells me you don't actually watch boxing. Floyd hasn't crushed anyond in a longtime. Canelo has the power to hurt Floyd and the speed to keep Floyd from just running aroumd the ring. He also showed in the Trout fight that he has enough head movement to not be hit.
