    "I come first, so Floyd Mayweather's gonna go out there and fight and please Floyd Mayweather first before he pleases anyone else. They're saying I'm hand-picking opponents, but no one is forced to watch me fight.... If I wanted to pick and choose opponents, should I be able to? Absolutely!"

    But all the *****s still insist he picks the very best fights out there for his loyal fans :yep

    this is why i dont buy floyds fights. he is plainly saying " yeah, i fight who i want, not who you want... and what? dont like it, dont pay for it". so i dont.

    In the interview, he said he should be allowed to because he's earned that right compared to a Canelo Alvarez, BUT he's saying he doesn't handpick them and that Guerrero is his mandatory
     
  7. ESPN and the media called him COWARD, CHICKEN and FRAUD for a reason. Only athlete to be called that on a national and international level by prestigious media outlets and fans. He is the biggest fraud in the sport and he'll be remembered as so except for his 17 fans online lol.

    If he only has 17 fans, how is he the highest paid athlete in all of sports?

    Pacquiao and Mayweather are the same person, cherry picking and shitty person, but Floyd is black so he gets called on it

    Let me humor you post.

    Guys Mayweather is said to have ducked

    Margarito: Offered him a fight after Judah lost to Baldomir. He turned it down saying that the date was to close. Offered his promoter a contract to fight him 1 week after the Judah fight which his promoter turned it down. 2 attempts to offer Margo a fight which was shot down.

    Cotto: Offered him a fight after the Gatti fight. He turned it down saying he was to green. Offered his promoter a contract to fight him for 10mil guranteed. His promoter turned it down. Offered him a fight when he was at 154 which was accepted. 3 attempts to make the fight and accpeted once.

    Mosley: Offered him a fight in 99. He turned it down to move up in weight. Challenged him in 06. He turned it down in order to go on vac and have his tooth fixed. Offered him a fight in 2010. He accepted the fight. 3 attempts to make the fight and accepted once.

    Pac: Offered him a fight in 2010. He turned it down due to drug testing and not willing to test with a 14 day cut off. Offered him a fight in 2012 for 40mil guranteed. He turned it down in order to fight Marquez for 20mil. 2 attempts to make the fight with Pac. Both turned down.

    Seems to me everyone is allowed to duck Mayweather or have excuses when Mayweather offers them a fight. But if they claim they are ready then Mayweather has to come running. As shown he has multiple attempts at trying to make fights with guys he supposedly ducked which are public record.
