    Cows get milked, hence the term " cash cow". Mayweather was not getting milked but he was a cash generator because he generated the paper. GP and K2 are milking Canleo and GGG for all they're worth. They are true cash cows. IMO.

    Mayweather Cheryl picked plenty but good old Baldomir was deserving of a payday. He was suddenly relevant when he beat up Zab, and while he was completely outclassed and outgunned, he did Deserve the fight. He was the champ after all.

    You can't tell me you don't find it ridiculous that a guy that rehydrates to 175 is fighting someone that can't score a knockout to save his life at 147

    Two different arguments, Thurman is currently at 147 fighter, yet Alvarez-Thurman would be a good fight @154/55.

    Alvarez rehydrates the same as most JMW/MW fighters.

    You didn't answer my question. Canelo will be at least 10, and most likely 15 pounds heavier than Khan come fight night.

    Plus its Khan's first fight at the weight and he is not exactly known to be iron chined or heavy handed.

    Do you or do you not find it ridiculous that, given the plethora of choices at 160, Canelo picked Khan? Now this isn't GGG with his petty 3.4 mil offers, this is Canelo that is the ultimate cash cow and NO ONE would turn down a fight with him. Khan is getting 8mil, that IS life changing money.

    He could have picked ANYONE. Any fighter within 2 divisions of him would take the fight. ANY FIGHTER.

    He picked Khan.

    How does that make you feel?

    I'm not big on the Khan fight my only interest is seeing Khan KO'd, the weight is irrelevant Thurman vs Guerrero was a WW fight Robert was 152 Keith was 160+ 10lbs is not that big in in ring weight. Maybe weigh in weight but not fight night.

    I look at Khan as an easy money fight after a big matchup nothing more or less. There are more deserving guys between 147-60 than Khan but really I'd be more interested in the Khan fight them sh!t like Canelo-Wade,Rosado so it is what it is based on history a good fight will follow tgis one.

    I think what hes saying is that eventually his fans will start complaining about what hes doing. He might be right, ESPN and JMM have already pointed it out many times and it seems like Mexicans are starting to get tired of the 155 ting and not fighting GGG

    Hindsight is 20/20 with a lot of these jokers. Mayweather was planning on fighting Zab for the lineal welterweight title but Zab lost the title to Baldomir. These same clowns would be screaming to the heavens that Mayweather had ducked Baldomir if he hadn't fought him.

    You've been on this Board for a while. You know how things work around here. Anyone that Mayweather fought above 135 was a "cherry-pick" and anyone that he didn't fight was a "duck".
