Great article about the cherrypicker.

I think a 50/50 split is what should take place. But you and I both know neither fighter will agree.

 

Pimp C,

I was talking with my brother about this yesterday. I too think the split should be 50/50 at worst.

In terms of revenue do you think a Manny/PBF fight could break the 2.15 million PPV mark set by Oscar and PBF?

 

Fair post but I disagree with you on Hatton. PBF-Hatton had unfinished business. PBF offered to fight Hatton back when both where at 140 in 2005 but Hatton turned him down. It was Hatton who later called out PBF after his demolition job on JLC. He was the challenger and wanted what PBF had so he had to go up. Just like PBF went up to face Oscar on his terms Hatton had to oblige. Not to mention PBF isn't a big WW and was outweighed by Hatton on fight night to add to that it's not like PBF relies on strength and size to beat his opponents anyway.

 

Yes I do. Manny has made a name for himself lately with flashy KO wins and stoppages. It's the type of **** the general public or novice boxing fan eat up. Combine that with a fight selling machine like PBF who will make PBF-Oscar HBO 24/7 look like a snooze fest compared to the act he will put on for PBF-Pac HBO 24/7 and the whole who's #1 angle I think it will break the record.

 

That is exactly what I told my brother. He did not understand that PBF is the real PPV draw here because unlike Hatton Manny brings in zero foreign PPV revenue from the Philippines. Those people don't even have plumbing much less TV.

Manny has the casual fans and the celebrity type fans and PBF has crossed over not only with dancing with the stars and Wrestlemania etc. both are now well known to even the general public.

Now, say PBF comes out and impressivley stops JMM a man who most people argue is 1-0-1 against Manny and we have a huge fight on our hands that should break the record.

:good

 

Gatti was a fight the people demanded and wanted back in the day, it was also a championship fight and a title Mayweather regularly targets in his career, the WBC. Now that years passed and the dominating performance was one-sided people tend to think of it as useless, sure we'll let that pass.

Baldomir wasn't cherry picking in my eyes, some people here tend to make it look like Mayweather paid off Judah to lose to Baldomir. Baldomir earned his position and was officially recognized by haters and fans of the sport together as the #1 Welterweight in the world. You beat the #1 you take that spot with it, not paying fees for the IBF/WBA means nothing really, the position doesn't change. I'd also like to add that this isn't a popularity contest, it's a sport, the higher advertised isn't MEANT to win unless there's corruption involved to immitate WWE. People also demanded that Mayweather fight and beat Baldomir to secure the #1 spot.

We can have a good discussion regarding the situations back then, there aren't enough fighters you can mention back then who were better opponents. If not Baldomir who then in 2006?, Margarito who's a paper champion with his biggest win being Kermit Cintron?, who else?

I would agree it's cherry picking if there were far better/more dangerous options available, the reality is that there weren't which is why he jumped up to fight DLH is a fight that became the richest in boxing history. It's THESE type of fights that Mayweather looks to bring. Even in his return now he's trying to bring the same obviously/clearly with Pacquiao.

Mitchell was nothing but a new fight in a new division and also a tune-up to secure the fight with Judah, too bad Judah couldn't beat his tune-up and also WBC mandatory.

 

Mayweathers legacy is, it seems, being set in stone. Unfortunately, given how good he was at the lighter weights, its as a cherrypicker and a ducker.

 

That's the reason behind his selection of Marquez. He knows Marquez wants Pac and is planning to move up and Marquez knows Mayweather seeks him too so the best way to settle things is to fight and the winner can go on and get that fight. Whether Marquez fought Mayweather or not he's already planning to move up in weight.

 

:rofl

This is crazy nuthugging, everyone wanted to see him fight Gatti and noone was interested in Margarito. Ok

 

When he fought Gatti he was at 140pounds, Margarito at the time was at 147 competing with Andrew "Six Heads Zero Chins" Lewis, Kermit Cintron and Manuel Gomez. This isn't crazy nuthugging it's boxing education for the ******s and newbies.

 

If Mayweather is as good as he seems to think he is, he should move up to 154 and fight Paul Williams.

Floyd is a great defensive fighter but I think he is definitely beatable because if you take away the straight right, he hasn't got much arsenal. Good jab to the body and movement but a bigger man applying the right pressure constantly going to the body will do the business. Bring on Paul Williams at 154lbs. You went up to fight Oscar, move up and fight a dangerous avoided fighter in Williams and beat him and then we will see just how good your skill set is against a man who throws over 100 punches a round, Floyd would lose via UD because he would need to knock Paul out to win.

Floyd is a big question mark and his record is a myth because he has never taken a true risk. He might be a nice guy off camera but he acts like a ****ing ****** everytime he is infront of one. Im tired of him talking about money and how great he is because he has yet to prove anything great to me and a lot of other boxing fans who are not blinded by this ****** routine... Who gives a **** how much money he has. Stop boasting about yourself and back up your big talk.

Guaranteed, after he beats pac and marquez easily everyone on here will be saying he beat smaller guys so he will need to clean up the welterweight division, he should unify it then fight at 154 against williams and then call it a day if he wins which he wont in my opinion

 

Porno HERE.

Make sure you have back-up to inform people in the lounge when you finally go blind after countless masturbating sessions. I know I'll be looking for a laugh.

 

Great article.

 

Why hasn't The Mayweather Mafia taken this article down yet?
