    I have made my preference known that I think on a style basis that Khan is a better fight. It is also a bigger money fight and I don't think that is disputable.


    However, if Floyd does end up picking Maidana (which most think he will) I don't see how you can't question the credibility of what he says. In his own words, on his own site he said:

    "Who should I fight next? Go to http://MayweatherPromotions.com and vote. I'm going to let the fans decide."

    If you're going to lie about something like that, then what else are you lying about? Now the crybabies will whine and think I'm hating, but this isn't hate... this is a fact. And so I'm taking him at his word and I expect him to announce Khan as the opponent.

    You believed him when he said that the one poll would determine his opponent?

    Hahaha, interesting....

    Well when the guy posts it on his official site, of course people take it seriously. Don't be that guy.

    If he announces Khan as the opponent you will say that he is ducking the clear better victory to achieve in not facing Maidana.

    It's funny. All the usual suspects were saying Floyd was afraid of Maidana and that he was fighting a cupcake in Khan until about 10 days ago the heavy rumors leaked which shifted toward Maidana being the favorite to face him. And then damage control began. And the damage control, once again, makes you guys look pretty damn dumb.

    If you take what all boxers, trainers, and promoters say at their word, you will have a very awkward experience as a fan of the sport.

    Showtime must be furious at him for leaving it this long. It gives them just a little over two months to promote a fight that Floyd is walking away with a Guaranteed 40 mil from, and no real viable PPV star to match him against.

    Funny coming from the guy who has swallowed every bit of Floyd's propaganda with a slurp and a smile.

    I don't expect you will but if you care to go through my post history and find a case where I quote Floyd himself and also state it as factual, be my guest.

    You will not post a response quoting me from the past here because there will be no quotable post to support your claim.

    If you ever see me post that, I will send you $1,000 through Paypal.

    I have ALWAYS said Khan is a better opponent. ALWAYS.

    You and I have had this discussion before about what people say. In this case, it was a simple vote, not excuse or anything like that. If you can't even believe something as simple as a vote, then that is pretty bad.

    I don't listen to the other crap he (or anyone) says about who said what... but this is a simple vote... Jesus if you can't even be honest about that... then what else are you lying about? KNow what I mean?

    I think he will be true to his vote.

    I knew the poll was a joke from the beginning. It's a way to drum up interest and get people talking. There's no such thing as bad publicity. I honestly thought the voting was going to be rigged in favor of who he'd rather fight. Either way, if you took it seriously then maybe you need to smarten up. You guys all call Mayweather a liar, but still believe everything he says and does. I don't get it.

    I didn't call Floyd a liar... but I sure as hell can if he doesn't fight Khan.:hey

    I'm just saying that it's a simple poll, so if the dude is lying about that, then how can you have any faith in what he says. He knows he can beat both, Khan won the vote and is the biggest $...what's the problem?

    Floyd doesn't give a sh*t which fight fans think is harder.

    I don't care what he says. I don't care about polls and all this other crap. I'm not 16. I have a life. So I don't really care if he's a liar or not. It doesn't effect my life one bit. I care when he has a fight signed and that's it. I enjoy watching him fight.

    But I do know for a fact he doesn't care about whether you think he's a liar or not. So hate all you want and call him a liar thinking that people actually care about your opinion. No one does. Get over it.
