If Floyd is going to fight, he should fight his biggest challenge, not some been there done that type fight just for big money. He said his hands were hurt, now he is fighting Oscar. Im one who believes that he will complain about his body again after fighting Oscar. I simply dont see him fighting Cotto, and I dont get why everyone is so confident that he will. Either way, he wont fight Cotto and Williams both- which is what he would do if he was chasing legacy.
So why doesn't Cotto go after the biggest challenge? His hand are hurt and his fight from Hatton to DLH is going to be 10 months split. 7 - 8 months of rest without training.
You guys sound like this is close to a done deal. Terrible decision Floyd! So much for legacy How did Floyd bump Cotto out of the way to get another DLH fight? I thought DLH and Cotto were getting pretty close to inking up their deal. If Floyd and DLH actually do this fight, I hope Oscar pulls off the upset. Not that I'm happy with Oscar throwing his weight around getting all these non-deserving fights, but if Floyd signs with Oscar it tells me he cares about the sport less than Oscar seems to. Boycott this PPV if it happens. I will follow the round by round on ESB like a parasite so I guess I'm at leat partially guilty of the hype too.
yup everythings floyd's fault :roll: :roll: I personally would not care to see this fight but way to many of you guy are quick to make floyd the scape goat.
just a thought, couldn't he have done the same thing with cotto. then he would have had his rest, and faced his biggest challenge.
Like I said, Cotto's crew isn't targetting him, they would rather fight Gomez/DLH then Mayweather. "Right now a fight with De la Hoya is more marketable than one with Mayweather," said Evangelista, "even though De la Hoya lost to Mayweather in his last fight and Mayweather won last night against Hatton, De La Hoya remains the most marketable....the other names that have been mentioned to fight with Miguel do not compare economically with a fight with De la Hoya."
Ok, to me this is simple. Floyd said he wasnt going to fight, that he was going to take time off. So Cotto tries to secure a big money fight with Oscar in May, then moving on if he is victorious to fight PBF late this year (when PBF said he was going to fight next). Then all the sudden PBF changes his mind. So now your blaming Cotto for not asking PBF to fight him on a date IN WHICH PBF SAID HE WOULDNT fight. I dont get it. If this was the other way around, you would be all over Cotto.
Floyd is fighting about a year from now. And Ive never claimed it was purely Cottos fault. It's both. Floyd is going after big fights Cottos crew doesn't want Mayweather yet.
the point is pbf is in the position to make any fight he wants. the fact is he is the ww champion in a deep ww division, and has yet to fight any ww since winning the title. i personally do not care if a fight sell 200000 ppv or 1 million. as i do not get any of the money. as a fan of the sport, i want to see the best fight the best. what good are ppv records when all they are is an exhibition fight where the outcome for the most part is a foregone conclusion.
Its become very clear that Floyd wants the maximum amount of money against the least competitive fighters (i.e DLH). How else do you explain this decision?
this **** is gay....there are alot of reasons this trash is happening and alot of people are to blame 1. DLH i used to have respect for him but this guy is really ****ing things up if it wasnt pbf it would have been cotto when everyone wants to see pbf-cotto. Dlh doesnt seem to understand that nobody wants to see him in the ring.he criticised the way pbf-dlh 1 went and now he takes the fight again:huh 2.Arum this old lying *****. He didnt even attempt to push for a pbf-cotto fight. He's sitting back and letting all of this happen. If he wants cotto to fight pbf why hasnt he made an offer?...full of it 3.Pbf. im a fan and i wouldnt pass up dlh money but wtf exactly is he doing? He only has a couple of big fights left but he takes this ****atsch 4.Cotto..Speak the **** up..bad enough you cant get dlh or pbf now but you still arent saying anything about Arum making you fight Gomez? what are you scared of Arum? 5. HBO..you better believe that they pushed for this fight again.. 6.Oscarsexuals/Females that dont know **** about boxing but pay to see DLH...thses groups of people are the worst and are reason that this fight will break 1 million buys again 7.Politics..if im not mistaken cotto has to fight someone ranked in the WBA to defend his title because the fight against mosley was a voluntary defense so i dont think a fight with pbf was possible for his next fight anyway.
It's funny how the Floyd fans give a **** about how much money that filthy rich **** makes, when he's already one of the highest earners in recent history. A real fighter in his established position would be concerned about legacy. His fans are ridiculous, I'm a bit disapointed in Calzaghe just for pursuing the old man Hopkins over better and younger LHW's, but the difference is that the public is actually demanding and wanting it, so there is no blame. Floyd and Pac nuthuggers, the only fanbase who are concerned about how much already overpaid fighters are making, when 5 million a fight isn't good enough anymore.:rofl
Gotcha. And Floyd's purse demands already kill it or any meaningful fight. WHat's that called when a fighters purse demands kill any meaningful fights? :huh
Damm, I agree with just about every point you just made. DLH is tops on my **** list, followed by PBF for not going for the biggest fight, and then Cotto for not being smart enough to know that he needs to speak up in public to build this fight. Arum is on my permanent **** list so his standing cant be changed around either way. But I would add to your DLH groupies, because PBF groupies who worry about how much $ he makes and justify **** fights because of it are right up there with DLH's fans.
