    ... Not that Canelo is wrong for wanting that date, either.

    All of this A-side talk from Floyd after he had to give up everything to Oscar for their fight, difference between this fight & Floyd vs De La Hoya is that Pacman brings as much fans to the table as Floyd does & he will take a significant portion of the overall revenue made as he's a star in his own right also when Floyd fought Oscar on Cinco de mayo it made sense because:

    1- Oscar is a Mexican-American
    2- GBP is owned by Oscar

    Floyd has TMT or whatever its called these days but GBP still put on the events & pay his cheques, so if GBP want to put their next star on the date & bump Floyd to June or whatever without it affecting the ppv revenue for Floyd/Pac then whats the problem?

    That only holds true based on the worth of the commodity. Unfortunately, even if Floyd is the biggest draw in boxing, he's not bigger than Canelo-Cotto. He can call whatever shot he wants, but unless his opponent is Pacquiao he'll be playing second fiddle to Canelo-Cotto. I doubt he wants to go head to head with them on the same date especially with Showtime losing money off of his last 2 fights. In this scenario Floyd is the B side.

    Because he never wanted to make the fight. People forget that Bob flat out refused to make DLH vs Mayweather and Cotto vs Mayweather. Nobody seems to remember that.

    Spewing bullsh*t?

    People on here think not fighting someone is the same as ducking.

    Other than Pacquiao, who has Floyd ducked? Kostya Tszyu? He was on his way out by the time Floyd was at 140. Prime Mosley? He actually called out Mosley back in 2005.

    Tell me how Rios and Algieri AREN'T cherry picks.

    If Mayweather is a class act to Buster... that's kind of embarrassing for Buster.

    Since Floyd IS the A-side, he should be doing everything in his power to make the fight - even if that means making a concession or 2 along the way. Fans like when great champions actively seek out the best fights.

    Likewise, the same holds true for Pacquiao as the B-side. He needs to be willing to make concessions, too, and do everything in his power to get Floyd in the ring.

    Unfortunately, Floyd and Pac are 2 scum bags of the highest order. They **** on the fans together as they cash in time and time again against inferior opposition, while avoiding each other for 5 years. It's rather pathetic, and hurts both of them in the long run.

    Can't disrespect an AMERICAN cerveza holiday. Pac has never fought on Cinco de Mayo weekend :rofl:rofl:rofl And what's the other silly excuse you have, Floyd demands it be on SHO? DUH!? That's where he has a six fight contract.
