Floyd Sr. : Floyd Ducked the ODLH Rematch...!!!

Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by AmericanPsycho, Sep 1, 2011.


  1. "Little Floyd pulled out of the second fight! He pulled out of the second fight! Not De La Hoya!"

    Floyd squeaked out a SD against past-prime ODLH. In the process, the fight drew 2.3 million PPVs. A rematch would have been MONSTROUS. Since Floyd won, he would have been able to command a 50-50 split.

    Why didn't Money May go for the MONSTER PAYDAY in a rematch? He chose instead to go on vacation.

    :-(

    The vast majority of fans didnt want to see this fight. Floyd won the first fight clearly. ODLH had the judges in his pocket and he couldnt even give a good enough performance to get a robbery.

    So SR gonna act the boxing critics and the general public, werent grilling and chastising Floyd for even considering a rematch with Oscar when he clearly dominated not only that many people felt he walked Oscar throughout the fight to make seem more competitive, just to justify a future rematch, Jr heard the criticism and pulled out, not to mention that De La Hoya always tries to offer unfair splits in rematches, the same reason Tito didnt rematch him.

    Everytime Sr opens his mouth in these interviews people will see the real reason the argument happened, he clearly is jealous of Roger and Floyd, and is only around to be negative and cause distractions and to throw Floyd off his game because he wants he desperately want to see Floyd lose, so he could toot his own horn and say that would of never happened if I was still training my son..........

    A lot of people didn't want to see a rematch between floyd and oscar. People were saying that the first fight was boring.

    It was no secret. Floyd chose to retire instead of taking an easy 20-25 mill for the rematch. Whatever his reasoning, he must be regretting it to this day. Pac stepped in as De La Hoya's December opponent and the rest is history, and become the bane of Mayweather's existence.

    This is true. What also played a factor is the fact that Sr was suppose to train Oscar for the rematch. Maybe Floyd Jr wasn't comfortable with that.

    From what I read Floyd was disgusted because DLH was still trying to call all of te shots, and demand the lions share of the purse even though Mayweather had just beaten him.

    The reason why he didn't fight Oscar the second time is because, Oscar wouldn't give him a 50/50 split. Oscar still wanted the Lion's Share of the Purse.

    Wrong. And the reason he declined the rematch was because Oscar lowballed him despite the fact that Floyd had just beaten him. There was no controversy, it was an 8-4, 9-3 ish type of victory for Floyd.

    When has floyd ever given a flying **** about what the public wanted!!! he knew he squeaked a close UD & whatever people think about the result means absolutly ****-all!!

    This is a bizzness & the re-match again would have made MEGA $$$$ but Mayweather fled the scene like a thief in the night. Floyds & Rogers own words: If it don't make $$$$ it don't make sense!!! Now how can you run away from another MEGA payday like that!!! SIMPLE, just to risky, better taking on the likes of Hatton/Marquez/Mosley & hungry young lion mega-risk ortiz:lol:

    Mayweather had now got himself into the HBO grand banquet $$$$$ pig out buffet & he was'nt going to risk that by fighting DLH again who is & was the major PPv $$$$ draw, hence floyds bug out as he proberbly did'nt think he'd get the judges shout next time out & thats the end of the Mayweather $$$$$ feast.

    No way should Mayweather get a pass here as he bugged out pure & simple & the irony here is that by his blatent act of ducking he actually let in Pacquiao as DLH had to fill that HBO date:lol:

    Floyd would proberbly have won the rematch but Floyd don't take risks:lol:
