I know what you mean. For instance, had JM Marquez and Miguel Cotto agreed to fight last year, they would both have made much more money than in their respective fights against Diaz and Clottey. However, Marquez-Diaz and Cotto-Clottey are to my mind two superior fights. Two well-matched men fighting in the same division at the time they agree to fight, just solid good lifeblood of the sport fights. I wish there was much more of that, and much less of Pac v Oscar and Floyd v Marquez. Pac v Marquez III and Floyd v Mosley would have been better fights than those two IMO.
In one of his first interviews after announcing his comeback, PBF was asked if JMM calling him out had anything to do with his comeback to which he said no it didn't. Now he's implying that he's fighting JMM and not Pac because Pac never called him out and JMM did. This guy is either a nut or he's a puppet and a figure head that is told what and what not to say. I personally think it's the latter which would then contradict PBF proclaiming he has no boss unlike like other boxers. I respect the skills but can't stand how fake he is.
You believe that " He couldve waited one more day" nonsense? Floyd-JMM was in negotiations AT least one month before Hatton-Pac result. Floyd didnt even know what the result of what Pac-Hatton was going to be, what if Pac lost? I can see if floyd signed to fight JMM after PAc beat hatton but that isnt how it happened.
PW is not a draw plain and simple, Marquez is a huge draw, not to mention number two pound for pound, which by the way Mosley, Cotto, or PW are not. I personally want to see Floyd fight the top fighters a.k.a. Marquez/Pac. Than if the welters have not all faded into obscurity, fight them. I reiterate as I have said before, what makes Mayweather a perminant welter? why does he only have to fight at or above welter? Hop moves down from Lightheavy to beat Pavlik, no hate there because it is still a great accomplishment. I completly understand the hate Floyd recieves, I mean his attitude is horrible, but let the criticism stop there, these double standards are getting ridiculous.
Paul called out Mosley and Cotto also. Point? Matter fact the first name he called after he beat Marg was COTTO, Paul said if he cant get cotto then he wants Floyd.
Number 1, I'm not so sure they would've made more money. Number 2, this fight was never viable so the point is moot anyway.
I really hope he wins versus Marquez just to see who he is going to fight next.......Im thinking either a rematch with Hatton or maybe the great Baldomir..... On a side note, I always hear how much of draw PBF is and how he sells out fight BUT I have never heard one of this IDIOTS say they are going to any of his fights live....
I already stated that none of these ww's are ever going to fight him, not just floyd and that is my point. What a fighter thinks of himself is irrelevant.
In your dreams papa, the day I see both of them in the ring is the day I believe it....He is going to come up with so many excuses to get away from that, I can see it already.....
