    It's different because it's more money than Manny will ever see otherwise and Manny knows it.

    Uhh, once again, that's Floyd throwing a line of horse****. Did you not see the Bob Costas interview where Costas flat out asks him about no PPV and Floyd gives his rationale? If not, I suggest you go watch that. It was very shortly after the "phone call"

    Undefeated doesn't mean anything, Ali lost because he fought the best, if you avoid every challenge your going to be unbeaten. Floyds undefeated record is acutually not as good as many others. RJJ should have been 50-0 with wins over Toney, Bhop,McCallum, Griffin, Tarver. That 50-0 is far better then Floyd's record. JCC was 88-0, SRR was 128-1, Willie Pep was 134-1. Mayweather's record is nothing amazing, Hell even guys like Tito was 40-0, Morales 41-0. It means little all this undefeated TBE **** is embarrassing he's never been beaten because he's never beaten the best.

    For one fight it's not a big request, it still depends on what incentives Floyd offers Manny to fight just like any other promoter but, if it's for a multi fight deal then yeah, that's asking for too much.

    It's a cowardly demand of Mayweather wanting to be a Diva and keep all the money, it's the same as Pacquiao saying " you have to sign with TR" Only the *****s can defend this ****, Mayweather is a coward and has never wanted any part of Pacquiao.

    The difference is, Ali called himself The Greatest but that's because he dared to be great. Mayweather calls himself TBE, but does he dare to prove it?

    My problem with Floyd is that he is a fantastic fighter, one of the best when it comes to the skills of it. Did he duck fighters? it's up for debate. Lets just say he was very careful. My issue is that he probably would have beaten the fighters he could have fought and didn't but he didn't dare to be great. Ali did.

    except it's not really debatable it's sort of clear to the rest of us outside of the ***** circle that he ducked Pacquiao, Williams and Margarito clearly.

    Good post. Jose Napoles is another past boxer that would beat Floyd. Too smooth, too skilled. A proper ring general.

    Interview:

    If Pacquiao was a FREE AGENT or FREE, we have a contract for him to sign with Mayweather Promotions.

    The ironic thing is as crazy as the demand is Pacquiao would probably make more from a Mayweather fight under TMT than under TR

    Yeah, well i said you can debate it, meaning everyone always says this fighter ducked that fighter. I think Floyd ducking Pacquiao wasn't all one way traffic though, both are to blame, and their representatives. I do agree he didn't want any part of Margarito.

    But that is true is that Floyd had chances to prove his greatness and didn't, not to the extent the likes of Ali did. That's the difference for me.

    I don't think any boxing fan can say Floyd is not a great fighter when it comes to skills and that is the sad thing really, having all those skills and not daring to use them to their full capacity in case you lose, especially when the reality is you probably could have won.

    Wrong. I'm a fan of Floyd gifts but he's overrated. He does not have the resume to be considered anywhere near TBE. He also does not have the complete skill set to be considered anywhere near the most skilled fighters ever. He lacks power, and offensive skills on the inside. He's outstanding at what he does but he's not a multi dimensional fighter.
    This is what I know of Floyd Mayweather, If you think I'm a hater for having that opinion then I call you a Floyd fanboy.
