    You log off...you're an ******* that doesn't have the commonsense enough to know that this fight won't take place. And it's true, Floyd doesn't like to fight southpaws. Most fighters don't.

    :patsch Dude, he's let it be known what he's fighting for...and this fight is the biggest money fight for him...You've yet to give a legit answer...Given that this is the biggest fight for him, why on earth would he turn it down? Your answer really makes no sense at all!

    I agree with your main point. From Mayweather's persepective, this a fight that every fighter dreams of. Pacquiao is the biggest fight out there for him. Many expect him to lose, and he would satisfy all of his critics, despite being bigger, and longer than Pac, and despite having a stylisitc advantage over Pac. It's similar to how Hopkins got a ton of credit for beating Trinidad and Pavlik, despite being bigger and more talented than them. This is a no brainer for Floyd. Even if he happens to lose, you couldn't really give him much **** for it and he would pocket a ton of cash.

    I think he is concerned. His fight with Judah was very close. Pac is better than Judah ever was. So, this could get interesting. Manny is the best fighter he will ever face since Castillo. I don't believe him when he says it will be easy. Hopefully, he can prove me wrong.

    Neither of the highlighted statments are true. His fight with Judah was nowhere near close, unless you consider two good rounds out of 12 for Judah to be close. Also, Judah, Hoya, Marquez, and arguably Hatton are all better fighters than Castillo. Castillo was just a tough matchup for Floyd and caught him at the right time.

    He's right, you don't want it to happen.

    Little does little Richard know that PBF is sending him in a wild goose chase, just for PR effect. floyd will end up avoiding the fight. just you wait and see.

    Floyd will take 45-55 for Pac.

    Floyd knows he screwed up big time during negotiations for the DLH rematch, he could of made another $20+ mill but arrogantly refused because he demanded the lion's share on the basis that he beat DLH the 1st time. DLH didnt budge, fight didnt get made and Mayweather got threatened by the IRS.

    Mayweather is not dumb enough to let his ignorance let this larger fight get away.

    Fight will be 50/50, if I had to guess. Neither guy is going lower than 50, and neither guy has a strong case for going above it.

    Thank you ..


    These people come out of the wood works with the most ridicules statements. Floyd completely dissected Zab with out taking any punishment in return. These guys are so focused on the controversial knock down in that fight, that they view it close.. They also forget that Castillio out weighed floyd by almost 15 pounds their first fight, and floyd was injured, but it was a totally different fight after floyd got use to the weight.

    You ****ing idiot. This is the biggest fight in boxing and the biggest money fight in boxing it will take place. Like I said before you don't know **** about the sport and probably just started watching a couple of years ago. I owned your dumbass in an earlier thread when you said PBF doesn't fight southpaws. I proved your dumbass wrong when I listed some you now have gone on to say he doesn't like fighting or them and saying most fighters don't as if that some sort of ****ing revalation. Which one is it? Log off fool before I embarrass you agian.

    Very close? So wining 3 rounds is very close?:patsch The fight wasn't close PBF systematically broke Zab down walked him down and had him ready to go before Zab fouled him. Quit with that nonsense.
    What you should be concerned about is how JMM outboxed Pac for the two fights with the knockdowns being the difference that and the fact Pac has never faced a slick defensive counter-puncher before or an athlete as good as him.:deal
