Here are the details The garuntee Floyd was asking for was for 10 mil when Bob was only offering 7 but he was offered 8 mil for Margarito ..The reason they didn't want the fight according to them was that Floyd was injured .. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2420382 He could have fought him but chose lesser opponents in the interim before his fight with Oscar..
Blame ARUM???? no blame Mayweathers lack of cojones he knew Margarito was too strong & he couldn't run from him
You can have your own opinion on who won that fight. But Most boxing experts, the judges, and the press row scoring, had Mayaether winning that fight. I agree what Floyd does illegal but stuff like clinching just isn't called in the sport as much as rabbit punching and low blows. Although I think excessive clinching should have point deductions at a point, It's not exactly bias towards Mayweather that they aren't called. How many fights has a person been deducted a point for holding?
That nobody is the least bit surprised that you rushed to be the first respondent in this particular thread or that your reply was so much seething reductive vitriol should tell you a lot about how much time you've invested (read: wastes) on hating somebody on the internet.
Honestly people 20 years from now looking at Floyd's resume won't even remember that he didn't fight guys like Tszyu, Margarito, and Williams.
:rofl You really are so bitter. How would you describe Pacquiao's legacy? Obviously remembering his most well known wins were catchweights so the opposition were drained, the refusal for many years to take the test and the fact he lost the biggest fight of all time against a fighter you constantly abuse and he made excuses like a sour little b****.
devon 20 years from now people wont remember Floyd let alone his resume. 5 yrs after his last fight he'll be on a street corner mumbling " I used to be an ATG & TBE ever" as people smile & give him pocket change:-((
Of course people will remember him (Espescially if he goes 50-0). He has proven that he's the best of his era(if you really want to argue Pac then second best). and he beat Pac in one of the biggest fights ever, in terms of hype.
Not a big floyd fan, only because of his personality, i really do appreciate his skill. But his resume is excellent, the timing of some of his fights bothered me, but I'm not sure that's all his fault - i don't know all of the politics invovled.
The Pac fight on May2 was a farce If I'd bought the PPV, Ive never bought a Mayweather PPV actually, Id certainly be suing the NSAC , Vegas the Mayweathers etc for fraud It was billed as the biggest fright ever it turned out a farce. The supposed ATG Mayweather ran & held for 12 rounds against an opponent who was severely injured & fighting in pain. This was becase he was denied LEGAL painkillers he'd been promised by the commission. nothing but a con job. Now Berto in Sept ? who in their right mind will buy that???
I agree with almost everything you said, but years from now he'll be remembered for beating Pac. This is about resume. And show me one point in the entire fight with Pac where he showed any shoulder pain. ONE.
The NSAC never promised Pacquiao he could have a Toradol shot. Team Pacquiao checked "no" on the questionairre in regards to a shoulder injury. Pacquiao was allowed, per the rules, to use Toradol with consent from USADA, but they had to notify the NSAC; which they did not do...!!!
