    It seems as if Floyd really doesnt want to fight anymore. Pacquiao is probably the only one to get Floyd out of retirement. The only WW i see Floyd coming back to fight would be Cotto should he beat Berto and Mosley this year and thats a HUGE maybe.

    Pimp, have you ever said anything which could be construed as even mildly critical of Floyd Mayweather, do you think he is pretty much perfect/infallible?

    Thanks,you too Blade.
    Its not just me then.The guy piggybacks other fighters fan bases which cons some people into thinking HE has a major one.
    The guy is a 'Bside' for all his talent.

    Not in this case it doesnt.Popularity & likeability is always saleable,but something unpleasant is usually ignored rather than sought out and paid for.

    Moseley should fight Cotto again,agreed,but not for Floyd.He should stay retired.His comeback appeal is monumentally overstated.

    I disagree. Floyd has fans and haters. HAters want to see him lose. To think he is not a big seller is pure hate. Sorry mate, you're not being objective at all.

    Nope we just want for him to face a real threat and see what he's made of.

    Yes im a hater,but i still dont think he's big box office in his own right.Some will pay to see him lose,but it would have to be a big name opponent who is a draw anyway.
    I think its a myth the 'people will pay to see somebody unpopular KO'd' argument..i knew people who hated Hamed,Hyde and others,so they just ignored them.
    Simple.

    Yep,fair enough.I am a hater, but that would be nice considering he's the self proclaimed best fighter ever.

    Still, to say he is not a big seller is being blind by hate. Of course he would need a big opponent...do you think Pacquiao would sell big against Ngoudjo?
    Pacquiao Maweather is probably the biggest possible fight right now. Can't be only because of Pacquiao.

    I'm a hater too. I hate...haters. As much as nuthuggers.
