Mayweather "6 fight" DEAL prediction thread...

[xRedx]

Not that what I say matters, but I think Floyd should retire very soon. Despite his amazing boxing abilities, he's 36 and relexes and speed diminish. In fact, power is probably the last of skills to diminish whilst relexes and speed diminish earlier.

However, he hasn't taken much punishment throughout his career so his body is still relatively fresh.

Mayweather wouldn't fight broner or Matthysse

If he fights 2 or more "big guys" (real 154/160 top boxers), he will at least lose 1.
If he doesn't he keeps his wide O.

Floyd is past prime now for sure, dude.

It is just my opinion, but I think most would agree that his physical prime was 1998-2002. He is 10 years removed from it.

At the latest, he left his prime behind when he retired after Hatton in '07. Hasn't fought the same since, regardless of if he's fought "bad" or not or picked up great wins.

I predict floyd will fight twice, maybe 3 times max.

The deal means he can potentially earn 250 million should he fight 6 times in the next 2 years and should he remain undefeated!!

Well no shit sherlock!

Floyd will Fight once a year like he always does. And continue to earn 40 mill+ a fight providing he remains undefeated.

And occasionally he might squeeze in a second fight.

I don't think the contract is contingent on him remaining undefeated... Sooooooo...?

This is from the forbes report:

"Mayweather is likely looking at a guarantee of around $200 million for the six-fight deal. Pay-per-view revenues will push that total past $250 million. How much past $250 million depends on the quality and marketability of his opponents, as well as Mayweather staying undefeated,"

this is no different to when he has come back every other time, saying he has a hitlist of fighters, or he's gonna fight 3 times this year etc.

It never happens. He fights once, then loses the urge for another year.

Its been the same thing since the hatton fight.

this is what I expect

ghost
canelo (win or lose)
alexander
pacquiao
khan
bradley (by then he'll be free I'm sure of it because he wants the floyd fight)

Manny could get brutally knocked out AGAIN in his next fight and Floyd will still not fight him . Its just not going to happen .

To answer the tread question , it all depends on the calibur of those next 6 opponents .
