    Floyd don't have to fight any fighter any more, his era is over, he won. He's finishing his contract and saying goodnight...

    This is another cherrypick that Mayweather has a history of doing
    Hopefully you delusional joyboys can finally see it

    Marciano's record? I think that's exclusive to the HW division considering Finito Lopez retired undefeated with 50 wins and undefeated as an amateur as well, more than what Floyd can say.

    Julio Cesar Chavez was 86-0, much more impressive than 50-0.

    Rocky Marciano is the only HW to win 50 fights without losing.

    Not really, this fight makes no sense business wise in comparison to his options.

    Actually...he's not THAT much more of a threat than Berto. A bigger draw? Yes.

    It certainly is just business, for Floyd its always been all just business which is disgusting.

    I pay to watch sport, football, boxing, motor racing. I dont pay to watch people flipping burgers at Burger King, i dont pay to watch accountants balancing the books.

    Boxing was once upon a time a sport where boxers wanted to really beat their opponent and really prove they were the best. People like Mayweather are a cancer on the sport.

    And what if Floyd doesn't feel like being a part of a big PPV event right now. Coming off Pac, Maidana, Alvarez has he not earned a moment to chill?

    There just isn't a way to spin this one sorry. Berto isn't a big draw, isn't ranked in the top 15 (legitimately), it's a b.s. fight. He might as well have fought Khan.

    Lets get serious this whole Mayweather and PBC business is just a street hustle.That it happens to be playing out on Wall Street just dresses it up to be somewhat respectable.Showtime are the enablers and the fight fans are the only ones who lose in this scam.
    At the end of the day Floyd and Al will be smoking cigars and sipping cognac remenising how they once made a fortune on the best scam they ever thought up.Crime does sometimes pay.:dead
