Mayweather hesitating with Mosley fight – News
January 25th, 2010
By Eric Thomas: According to Michael Marley of Examiner.com, unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. isn’t moving forward with his fight with World Boxing Association welterweight champion Shane Mosley. Marley states that a source within the Mayweather camp says that Floyd has added up what he’d likely make in his bout with Mosley, which is $10 million, and compared it to the $40 million that he’d get in a fight with the smaller Manny Pacquiao and sees that as the easier fight compared to Mosley.
In addition, say what you will about Pacquiao being the best fighter in all of boxing, but he’s smaller than Mosley and not a true welterweight. Pacquiao, with his aggressive, some say reckless, style of fighting, he’s the type of fighter that Mayweather has always done well against.
Mayweather and his team, according to Marley’s source, are debating whether to try and restart the talks with Pacquiao’s management team after Manny gets past Clottey on March 13th. The logic here is that a dangerous fight against Mosley won’t likely attract a great deal of pay per view revenue compared to a fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao.
Mosley doesn’t have a huge following like Pacquiao does, meaning that a fight between Mayweather and Mosley wouldn’t do nearly as well in terms of PPV sales. At the same time, it’s a risky fight for Mayweather because of Mosley’s hand speed, power and work rate.
Marley also reports that Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum is looking to match Antonio Margarito up with Pacquiao next after the Clottey fight.
Margarito is in the process of getting his boxing license back and then provided that he does get it back, he’ll be fighting on the undercard of the Pacquiao-Clottey fight. If everything goes well, Arum could match Pacquiao up with Margarito in the Dallas Cowboy stadium, and get the benefit of a large flow of Mexican boxing fans that could purchase tickets in droves to see Margarito fight Pacquiao.
At the very least, Arum could use Margarito as a pawn to get Mayweather to drop his demands for random blood tests and to take a smaller cut of the purse. Given that the Pacquiao-Clottey fight has already sold 20,000 tickets after only 3 hours on the first day that the tickets were put on sale, there’s a good chance that the Dallas Cowboy stadium could be filled with as many 50,000 or more fans just to see Pacquiao fight the little known Clottey.
With that amount of tickets being scooped up for a fight between Pacquiao and fighter like Clottey, who the casual boxing fans aren’t familiar with, a fight against Margarito would likely to even better as long as boxing fans are willing to forget about Margarito’s hand wrap issue before his fight with Mosley last year.

Mayweather is so stupid he’s taking a risk whether he fights Shane or not what is he gonna do if clottey beats pacman?
what a surprise
Thanks Mario for the laugh! Most of you should do the same…. perhaps wrestling would be satisfying, you think?
You guys are all nuts! Pointing fingers at each other, calling names and sounding stupid. Don’t you realize they both have ignored their fans wishes for them to fight? Thereby, diminishing boxing as a sport. I am a long time boxing fan who will not pay to view either of these guys boxing another boxer. They ruined it for me by all their petty nonsense. It’s their fans they should be concerned about. They should have come to an agreement without “head games” and stupid ego trips!
Lex-fugitive,.. a real mayweather apostle and a subject undergoing intense hypnosis. He seem to have submitted himself to Floyd at all cost; defend and cover floyd at all cost, to the point when he could no longer find relevance a valid reasons to effectively shield floyd’s fading and crumbling reputation.
It won’t be long before the time when this dude will come back to brave the reality and admit that mayweather is nothing but a disgrace to the good sports of boxing.
It’s time for floyd’s fans to see through the blinders and realize the truth. The sooner they accept it the sooner the healing can begin.
Time will come when floyd would have no more money no more fans no more fame and no more pride in him. When he has nothing more to lose, then maybe he’ll finally find the courage to fight.
how i wish Floyd losses his next fight,he think he is someone like a God.,but he is a coward… FIght Pacman and u will be ashamed of yourself…
@ ares, bnb, lex_fugitive,etc..
here’s some facts which hopefully change your mind..the Mayweathers are disrespectful which is in no doubt have no right to disrespect a good boxer like Pacman, see the difference? Pacman is full of humilty never claiming to be the best and these Mayweathers are full of self glorification and keeps on talking bad about another boxer..you have the freedom of speech but with this freedom comes responsibility!!!! don’t rencroach on the rights of others..
Fight is not off yet. Flo is just still in the bullying stage on Mosley which is taking a long time. Not a yes man like JMM.
I wouldn’t read anything into whats reported on the examiner. Their wannabe reporters constently bash Floyd. The truth is nobody knows what is going on as negotiations are being held behind closed doors. Im sure this fight will get made and it will take a site with alot more legitimacy than the examiner to change my mind.
FRAUD at his best. How many times is he gonna duck Mosley?
I wouldn’t get my hopes up, or down based on one article. Nobody is talking, no one knows what’s going on with the negotiations.
All that beig said; I’m not so sure Floyd is as confident in his abilities these days as his talk would have us believe.
If he’s really so F&%$ing great he would welcome an opportunity to shut up Sugar Shane.
To BNB, lex_fugitive, and the like…
Its one thing to idolize someone, but its one thing to be so blinded so much. Nobody is saying Mayweather isn’t an excellent fighter. Hey, he may even be a great fighter. But, for as long as he puts out excuses why he won’t fight the top WW fighters out there then he will never be great. He can open his loudmouth and proclain it to the world but it will mean nothing. He keeps on crying why he doesn’t get any respect. The reason is he doesn’t respect the sport, the other boxers, and the fans.
You people (PBF fans) are so narrow minded that will believe anything without a shred of truth. You say the writer of this article has no credibilty bec. he’s not a real writer so we should’nt believe his story. Ok I’ll give you that. But you will believe any story coming out of Mayweather Sr’s mouth just bec. he says so. C’mon, if we’re talking about CREDIBILITY Mayweather DOES NOT HAVE AN OUNCE OF IT. He is a CONVICTED DRUG PEDDLER!!! And you will us to believe anything he says. Mind you that Pacquiao has always passed all required test. But of course you won’t believe that bec. daddy Mayweather said otherwise. BUNCH OF CRAP!!!
I have still yet to see that controversial email that everyone is talking about. If someone has it, please post a link, copy paste the image… something… indicating Pacman’s representatives even asked about penalties if he was caught using PED’s.
I’m waiting……….
What? nothing?… no one has a link?
meh………
every time I hear pac turned down 40 million.you have to understand that 40 million was for texas stadium ,its a brand new 1 billion stadium ,only they would have would offer that 40 million split,and they are proving it right now that they have the paid attender , vagas would not pay that amount, and that fight would have happen if its was not for floyd to call it off late that night before fight was to be signed that morning in texas.then floyd comes up with a blood test is need to move forward ,so floyd put a road block to that 40 million that only at texas,but manny collecting huge their,and maybe for a second fight later this year,let see what floyd can come up with in vagas,even with mosley like 10 million?ha texas the key floyd.
wolf,
come on man. floyd hasnt fought any credible welterweights or super welterweights apart from oscar and that was a close split decision!
he owes it to guys lik you that are his fans and guys lik me his critics to fight the best at his own weight!
at the end of the day we’re all boxing fans and want to see warriors go at it!
this guy needs to step up or set out.
and say he does duck shane ( im not convinced he will, i think this fight will happen as his credibility is on the line) and he fights manny and wins… what kind of legacy will be have when he hasnt fought guys like mosley and berto cotto etc… guys in his weight class.
remember he turned down another lucratitive fight with oscar before manny beat oscar!
Every one knows that pacman is scared or he really is using roids! Pacman is the one that backed out of this fight. Every one knows why mayweather came out of retirement. 1 : to pay off his IRS debt and 2: Knock out pacman. He came out for pacman as pacman moved up in weight and knocked out everyone he faced, Money wants to send him back to where he belongs at 130 once he gets off the roids!!! I would like him to KO Mosely as well for stepping in the ring after his fight with Marquez. BUt if want to wait for pacan, I am OK with that as that is a reason why he cam eout of retirement. He nothing to prove with these other washed up chumps!!!
Yo this is typical Floyd Mayweather he always ducks the tough fights and fights smaller opponents. He talks about coming up through the weight divisions like he is the only one to do it. How can he be in the welterweight division for 5 years and not fight one true welterweight. I wonder what excuse his fans will use to defend him. He should not be considered as one of the all time greats.
What? No fight? You serious? What the hell Mayweather? You claim you be the best boxer in the world and yet you ducked Manny and accuse him of PEDS, you bailed out on Cotto and Bradley because you think you won’t make enough money off them and now you’re skipping Mosley because you can only make 10 million? That’s 10 million man, anyone would be happy with that. Seriously, I am not a Pacquiao fan but you’re proving him right when you ducked every fighter that has the potential to beat you. The greatest boxers won’t be remembered for how many losses they’ve experienced but for their achievements.
I can’t believe Mayweather to be the best if he doesn’t face the best.
I tried not to believe that fraud mayweather was a chicken but come on man grow some balls and fight someone. Ok people like hatton and froch may not have half the skill of mayweather but they sure have much more heart and would fight anyone anywhere, but yet everyones quick to destroy them and praise jokes like mayweather
i am a Mayweather fan and I am sick of Mayweather if he don’t fight Mosley after he hoped in the ring and took his shine and now the opportunity come around to fight and you want to bck out. I understand Pac but now u not fighting Mosley it really looks like u r a cherry picker.
@ road kill 40-0 means nothing…. chicken
phoocquiao,
floyds bills are payed!
but when floyd looks back over his career he will be the one that will second guess himself if he doesnt fight the top guys in his division!
theres no real reason why this fight shouldnt happen.
they are both free and mosley will basically do whatever floyd wants even if it means a lopsided cut!
by taking this fight floyd has a chance to put his critics wrong and beat a true qwelterweight king!
lets hope it happens
It makes sense for Mayweather. He prolly doesn’t have a lot of fights left in him. So it makes sense for him to hold out for the one that will pay him more.
He’s never really cared what the fans think. So even if people call him a coward for passing on Mosley, he won’t really care. He’ll wait for Pacquiao, because if he’s willing to play ball, that fight is ultimately the one that everyone wants to see. Afterall, legacy don’t pay the bills.
NONE OF THESE BOXER CAN BEAT MONEY FLOYD MAYWEATHER! MOSLEY, PACQIAOU , PAUL WILLIAMS , MARTINEZ NOT EVEN BERNARD HOPKINS CAUSE FLOYDS NEVER AGREE TO FIGHT WITH THEM HA HA HA.
Pac losing is no big deal. He tasted it before. Pac is way richer compared to Floyd. No problem for him to drop Flo like a hot potato.
What does losing have to do with setting up a megafight. I’ve heard this line of thought a number of times and yet the fight in jeopardy still seems to happen. Jones v Hopkins if it goes through is a timely example. And I think this happened years ago when DLH lost a tuneup and still went ahead with the megafight. The examples may be wrong but the message remains. Big names have lost their so called tune ups in the past and promoters still held the big shceduled PPV so it doesn’t matter one iota if Floyd or Manny loses their next fight. Not that they will ever meet, Floyds drug test demands have made that an impossiblity.
I just want to see some good well matched boxing
No fight? started young, 32yrs old, only 40 fights, basically Floyd rotted away enjoying his money… and now going.. going …gone.
what if Pac loses….what then Pac fans who loses 40M….?
Fools…even steroids don’t make your man immortal…
I am afraid. A long lay off, a weak tuneup match, I am not as strong as before. I need this one time fight of 40 million Pacquiao match for my retirement. If I lose to Mosley, I will lose my chance to Pac. Better secure that 40M deal, win or lose.
Z,
i agree with what you said in your last comment.
you can only hope that this article is wrong as it would be another huge letdown for all us boxing fans
Woops!! My bad, lex fuggie said ur balls r actually stuffed all the way up his anus!
Hey if yall hungry and lookin 4 a great deal KFC got the new extra crisssspy froid wit a side of mashed potatoes cole slaw and 2 biscuits 4 jus 2.99! TWO NINTY NINE people!!! Wat a bargain!! Enjoy…
The March Edition of the Ring Magazine has named Manny Pacquiao as THE BEST FIGHTER OF THE DECADE.
Wow, Not only the best figher of the year but the best of the noughties.
Nice ring to it coming from the Bible of Boxing.
18 Jan Day 0: 25 Jan Day 7: KFC’s Egg has not hatched
Mayweather is chickening out again (first Pacman now Mosley). He may want to fight my grandmother to keep his recor intact.
lex fugitive why cant we hear any single word from floyd right now? no publicity at all. A lot of his fan say he does trash talking to hype the fight. Then why he is not doin it now with his possible fight against mosley? hmm. . .
Mosley is the deserving opponent to fight Pacquiao and not Mayweather. Mayweather is only deserving after he fights and wins against Mosley. Mosley and Pacquiao are the first and second fighters in the welterweight division and are deserving to fight each other.
Hey froid if ur lookin 4 ur balls I think they’re still in ur mama’s cooch. I suggest u call her up dig around 4 while and c if u can paste it where they truly belong, mayb u can still feel like a man enuff 2 fight real fighters like sugar shane. (Shaq’s voice) Froid… U can’t do witout deeeez, tell me how Shanes azz taste!!
the so called money cash cow mayweather is a joke. Now that he needs to be talking a lot he’s in a dark place keeping quiet. Its not common for him to be so quiet.
I am a mayweather fan but if he dosen’t fight mosley then iam gonna say he is scared
Hey Hitman,
How do you know boxers of the past did not care about the Money..did they tell you lol..?
Or who told you that?
I agree scooby if floyd avoids mosley now then pac shouldnt even pick up his call and go right to mosley leaving mayweather out in the cold completely. Mosley money will look pretty good compared the the 3rd tier opponent he ends up with.
In saying that Fraud if your right and that does happen then ill be one of those 250,000-500,000.
Its a shame when boxing comes to this, It shouldnt be in the fighter are promoters hand to decide what fights happen. Personally i think the way boxers demand a big payday these days sticks 2 fingers up at all the boxers of the past who didnt care about the payday and just wanted to create a legacy by fighting and beating the best.
These blogs are articles are as predictable as the blockheads who read them.
Writer: Call out or degrade Mayweather in title by using unnamed sources or speculative theories.
Readers: Lap it all up and call Mayweather names and make excuses for Pacquiao’s cheating
Watch…in the next 2-4 weeks, there will be a major announcement for Mayweather versus Mosley and it will take place on May 1st and HBO will do a 24/7 leading up to the fight and it will do 250,000-500,000 more PPV buys than the Pacman fight.
MARK IT DOWN!
A true PFP champion will beat everybody in his class.
If Mayweather is really avoiding Mosley because he is afraid of losing, then he shouldn’t be even number 2 in the rankings and Mosley should take his spot at number 2.
Manny will take on all welterweights despite the risk of losing. He’s only out there to test his skills against all other welterweights. Who cares if it’s only 10 – 15 mil$?
Manny should take Mosley next after Clottey instead to show PBF that he really is a chicken… boookk.. bok bok bok booookkkkk
Let the ducking begin. PBF will not fight anyone that he cannot dominate. It’s not in his nature. That’s why we’ll never see another significant fight coming from pbf. He has become Mr. Insignificant…
24 hours later and still the only person to get this info from someone close to Floyd is a writer who writes at least one article a day bashing Floyd. If this is true, why has no one else heard this?? Actually, this is good for Floyd. Just building up more hatred for him, based on lies. Floyd has always embraced being the “bad guy” or heel. I think Marley is inadvertnetly just creating more PPV buys for May 1. I would say when this is announced Marley would lose all credibility but he already did that a long, long time ago.
stevo to answer you question..well kinda answer anyway, i dont think so as far as boxing, but the old mma fights (by old I mean early 90s) were tournament style, winner take all which was, if i remember right, 50k, not to mention very exciting
Mayweather and Cotto? That would be nice fight if cotto can recover by Dec! Pacman is scared nothing else to say about him. I dont think he is a roid user but who knows. Either he is or he is simply scared!!
floyd actually has fought some great fighters, castillo twice, corrales, hatton, judah, dlh,marquez, baldomir,gatti,corley, any way you look at it, boxing saw floyd as the p4p best fighter in the world for a reason. why should he fight mosley for 10 mil? it doesnt make sense. If you are a real boxing fan you would know that mosley ducked floyed early this decade now he wants a payday? I think SSM is a great fighter. Sure as fans we want to see these guys fight eachother,but to these fighters, everything revolves around how much money are they going to take in. Thats just the nature of the sport. Fighting to prove something only matters if you are an up and comming fighter, trying to move up in the ranks. Floyd may not be the most exciting fighter, nothing like pacman, but you cant argue that he is one of the best to ever step in the ring. Im not going to be mad at a guy who would rather make 40-50 mil in a night than 10
just a question,nothing to do with this,has there ever been a fight winner take all,we hear about it all the time but has it ever happened?
This kind of drama is normal for Floyd. Fight will push thru IF… only if Mosley allows himself to be handicapped or bullied, justlike what happenned to JMM. Unfortunately for him PAC is different.
This will be a good fight it will happen because maywather isn’t afraid of mosley mosley isn’t afraid of mayweather. Aside from pac this is the only fight that will make mayweather any kind of money…and if pac is going to fight someone instead of mayweather, then maywetaher needs to do the sameee. Then after pac loses and mayweather wins pac will come to mayweather and want to fight lol
@Flydocaine – How did you get that ” TOP SECRET” information? It is TRUE! Only Filipinos know this!! Filipino soldiers were given by their ancestors an ancient PED called “Anting-anting.” This predated steroids. Bullets would literally bounce off their bodies when shot at… Amazing huh?
Now, this is actually true information…There’s actually a very famous Filipina who owns her own “anting-anting.” She actually has to swallow it and it turns her invincible. All she needed to say was “DARNA!”
I don’t know where she is living now… maybe you could ask Spiderman or Superman, they might know where she hangs out…
Maybe Floyd can buy Darna’s “anting-anting” for a price! Then he can be INVINCIBLE Floyd! Like I said All Floyd needs to do is swallow the “anting-anting” and say “DARNA!”
mosley vs mayweather is off? i will not say a word, i believed now that mayweather is a ducker.
The Saints need random unlimited blood testing for all of its players so that the Colts are ensured a level playing field! No way could they have made it this far without steroids. Floyd are you listening?
Well said Chris Archer
So the Saints go 8-8 the previous year and this year they make it to the Super Bowl. THEY ALL MUST BE ON STEROIDS!! PBF, are you reading this? Quick, come out with a press release. Be the man who reforms pro football testing. The Saints need random unlimited BLOOD
FYI Arums says all $50 tickets are gone for Pacman vs Clottey( 20,000 of them or $1M gate money). However, all expensive tickets(100,200,300,500) remaind unsold… He might have to open upper levels of stadium to sell $20 tickets where fans won’t be able to tell who is fighting, but the good part is fans don’t want expensive tickets as they got a big screen with super HD sounds…
Like I said..I’d pay 50$ to see PBF fight Mosley. Other than that, PBF should retire.
hae to see something worth watching slip aaway! but in all fairness and yada yada…… I told YOU SO!!!!!
the best thing is for manny to fight mosley thats it and final… you know i had always thought tha being one of the best means proving you r the best! maybe me n floyd think different… whats even funnier is now his fans r saying “no no no he aint ducking he just a business man”, they also say “they just need to hype the fight up” bla bla bla bakla! if it looks like ****** sounds and smells like it then it must be
Both Mayweather and Pacman are great fighters .but they atill have to prove they are the greatest both of them…compare them to Henry Armstrong who depended his title 19 defense over the past 23 months…now if any one of them can come close…
@gfondue – like I said what makes mayweather think, Manny’s going to give him 40 mil$ if he doesn’t fight Mosley?
I was actually excited to hear mayweather planning to fight Mosley as this would be a good prelude to pacman-pbf duel.
But now, pbf waking too long to sign? hmmm… pbf won’t be that interesting anymore if he backs out of this one.
Manny could easily just call Mosley or Berto out after Clottey. Manny doesn’t mind making 10-15 mil$ fights (it’s still big money).
I’d leave PBF out in the cold while he keeps on waiting.. and waiting for his huge paycheck…
Sadly, the train has already left…
I think we all know PBF won’t fight Mosely. I hope I’m wrong, but I doubt it. And he has stated that they will demand any future opponents take random blood tests that pretty much nixes any fight with Pacman in the future. Interesting statement bout the ppv numbers. I thought PBF could make huge money no matter who he fights, but I guess that’s simply not the case. The longer PBF delays, the more irrelevant he becomes to Manny. It may have been at one time a career defining win for Manny to defeat Floyd, but with each new bout, Floyd becomes less relevant and will “need” Pacquaio more than Pacquaio “needs” him.
shakeeb NawaZ
Nope your wrong, and Ive been around boxing a long time and because i competed in it, worked corners I have an inside and outside understanding of the sport. My facts are sound because I watched and followed boxing. I am a true fan who looks at the issues from both sides. Fact is Mosley fought the avoided Vernon Forrest and 154 lbs Winky Wright TWICE! Then he stepped in with Miguel Cotto, all fights he lost, losing does not bother him so why in a million yeard would he avoud Floyd Mayweather? whats the worst that happens? he gets outpointed? big deal.
If you look at it without any emotion towards either fighter, Mosley has fought anybody, anytime and Mayweather has not yet fought the best fighters of his generation. Call it buisness all you want but Mosley is a fighter..and because he took the fight with Wright twice shows he is not much a buisness man. Wright,Cotto,Forrest…enough said.
And the thing is, I actuallt think with a big enough ring Floyd would have enough room to move and slip and win the fight. Mosley beat the hell out of Margarito and looked good but he was still not the Mosley of old.
Your a Flouyd fan, Im a boxing fan, I don’t care who wins I just want to see the fight for clarity, the worst thing in boxing is when to fighters never meet and your always left wondering what If?
If Floyd could beat Manny and Mosley and a few more legit fighters then I would get to say that I was a fan when one of the greatest fighters of all time was active, same as Manny.. If Manny beats Mayweather and Mosley Im just glad to have been able to witness it. let them fight and may the best man win,thats all I care about.
Floyd walked out from Oscar vs Floyd II, so how can it be all about Money…If he wanted money he would have gone for a second fight against Oscar.
I agree Floyd have to fight Mosley or Cintron or Paul Williams…Mosley is the a tough fight and brings the most money…This fight will happen..they will hype it…They need to creat drama..
I think Floyd will be guaranteed at least 15M to fight Mosley…The fight at the MGM in May will make money…There are money issues, is not that Floyd is afraid of Mosley…
They can built a bigger fight making fools like you believe Floyd is afraid of Mosley…
@BNB – Manny moved texas so he could get 40,000 Cheering fans! This will expose Fraud Mayweather that he really is not the attraction that he thinks he is now… Fraud’s a “has-been.” That’s what he is.
I suggest Shane should just prepare for Manny as it has a higher likelihood of happening.
If mayweather does not fight anybody in Spring, who would want to watch a Ducker fighter who everybody knows is just there for the money.
Hey, PBF could even pretend to be just knocked out after one punch in the first round to avoid getting killed in the fight. He’s there for the 40mil$ anyway (Win-or-Lose). What’s the point of making it through 12 agonizing rounds risking a head injury? After getting 40 mil, he’ll probably run with his money and take it to the casinos.
If Mayweather does not fight Mosley, he should retire as he won’t have anything on the table anymore. Manny shouldn’t be paying for Fraud’s back taxes. That’s my take on it.
Steroids are like drugs…druggies move to where laws are not enforce to much, to continue their habbits…It’s why most druggies are in LA, Seatle…b/c laws are not as tough as say NY, MA…medical Marijuana and all…
Manny moves to Texas b/c in Texas there are no tests to be taken…They don’t test for anything…he is ensuring a safe haven to continue to cheat…
good fighter but does that make him any great?
41-0-1
Julio Cesar Chavez 41-0-1
@BNB – Just a reality check. If Mayweather does not fight Mosley, Manny will make money and PBF will not.
Manny will take Mosley on next and and leave PBF out in the cold just to spite him and show Floyd that he’s a chicken.
Floyd will keep on waiting and waiting for his 40 mil$ paycheck which will never come.
Floyd really does not have any other options if he doesn’t fight Mosley.
So who’s the #1 PFP fighter now?
Berto, having no choice but to pull out of the biggest fight of his career, is Mayweather’s worst nightmare. Mayweather sure didn’t see that coming.
Now, Mayweather has no choice but to face his other worst nightmare — Shane Mosely.
Mayweather, you can duck but you can’t hide. Retirement is your only other option now.
Good luck.
Sugar Shane might as well forget about Money May. Money May is not going to fight him. There is not enough money and the fight is too risky.
Sugar Shane should go ahead and take a tune up fight and then fight Paul Williams. He’s been out the ring too long and time is not on his side.
Money May should take an easy tune up fight and then try to get negotiations going again with Pac Man if he gets past Clottey….
Roadkill… Numbers are not as important as the road that a boxer actually takes to get where he is at.
Sure, Manny lost a few fights early on. He learned from those fights and that didn’t stop him to be better and move up and move on. Until now, he is not afraid of fighting anyone because he is not afraid of losing. So what if Clottey can only bring little fan support? He’d still fight him because Manny is for legacy.. and money will just follow.
Unlike Fraud Mayweather, he can make all the excuses and show off his 40-0 score card. But who cares? maybe his die hard fans will care. But in the end he will be exposed for who he truly is.
Please, stop blaming others Floyd.
Pacman have to choose a divsion and fight the #1 guy…Are you a Welter or jr Welter…140 fight Bradley at 147 fight without a catch weight….
How can you be #1 P4P fighting at catch weights?
Stop taking steroids too… Steroids are addictive once one them is hard to compete w/t taking them…
well this is it floyd any small shred of credibility you have left will be gone if you duck mosely now.
A lot of great fighters retired with great records but dont belong in the same sentence as the GOAT. Quality of W’s matter more then quantity. To be the GOAT you need to take the occasional risk. The best of the best all have risks on their resume. Name me one all time great who never took a risk.
yeah, but marciano and mosley werent known as duckers who were afraid to fight the top fighters, man you are a moron. lots of fighters are undefeated and dont mean $hite if you dont fight anyone.
roadkill, funny how you say others dont know about boxing b/c they want punk beeyotch fraud to fight people w/ losses. all the all-time greats w/ the exception of rocky marciano all had lost. currently, klitschko,the no. 1 heavyweight has 3 losses, s. martinez, the no. jr mid has 2 losses/2 draws; mosley no. 1 lightweight has 5; jmm, no.1 lightweight has 5. quick thinking you have to be undefeated to be the best as pbf claims. only berto and pbf are undefeated in the top 10, so he only has 1 guy worthy of fighting him. there are only 2-3 guys respectively in the top 10 at jr. mid; welter; jr welter and lightweight. most are unknown, not ppv material and havent accomplished squat. quit being a stubborn ignorant blind fool
it shouldnt be hard for them to arange this fight mosley is under GBP and FMJ also asked help from GBP for the mega fight nagotations. The question is, why cant they finish the the negotiation and announce the fight already. I believe mayweathers are having second thoughts because if they dont
they already announced it last friday. It looks like it will take a month or two to make this mosley-floyd match up
I wish Mayweather FANS will prove me wrong in this.
Mayweather really has no option but to fight Mosley. Red Carpet has been laid out for PBF. Berto backing out from Jan 30 fight from unforeseen circumstances and family issues..understandably.
Why is Mayweather so silent on Mosley Fight? Mosley is willing to fight him under any rules, money sharing and what not. If you handed Mosley the contract, he’d probably sign it in a heartbeat.
Why all this delay? Pacquiao got the Clottey deal in few days.
Please Floyd, you are humiliating your die hard fans who are sticking with you through thick and thin.
Prove me wrong! I’d even pay for your PPV.
If you’re waiting for Manny’s 40 mil$. Please Don’t. Manny will not give you 50-50 share that you are dreaming off and salivating about if you don’t fight Mosley.
Reality is, nobody will watch your fight now if you fight anybody else but Mosley. People like me will continue to heckle and call you a ducker.
I beg you, please prove me wrong…
I fight with Mosley would give Floyd all the advantages in negotiation against Pac if they ever decide to fight… I could care less for that fight…Floyd Mosley would do more gate money $$$…more PPVs buys …. Floyd could make 15-20 fighting Mosley…They will fight…a almost a done deal..and no respectable site has said that Floyd is balking at fighting Mosley…
Floyd Mosley is the best fight that can be made…and GBP got all the sponsors to make a rich fight…Floyd will make his money …fighting Mosley..Mosley has to take a 30-70 split….’cause if he wins he will make Millions against Pacl…He don’t have to fight at a catch weight or take less money against Pac…
oh man, its getting clear.
There you have it. Another ducking by Mayweather. He is a disgrace to the sport and much better retired. Mosley/Mayweather is off!!!
It’s getting clear to me…Manny didn’t walk away from $40MM, he denied Floyd his $40MM. Floyd is no longer the cash cow. His dirty tactics just backfired on him, now he’s in trouble of loosing a 50:50 purse split when he negotiates with Manny again. With no concrete evidence yet to produce on steroids accusations he is in trouble again of loosing the lawsuit. What a dumb Floyd!
For the people who believe Mosley ducked Floyd Im going to tell you right now that your probably just watching one or two interviews where Mosley made some dumb excuse for not taking the fight. You were not watching boxing at the time is the problem and did not know the reason why and that reason why is because his “Boss” Oscar DeLaHoya was pushing for the fight and in the business Oscar and Floyd make more money, Mosley stepped aside because Oscar told him too and since Mosley has a steak in GBP it benefits him as well. Mosley had wanted Floyd for year and Floyd did not want it, when Floyd called out Mosley he knew Mosley was going to say no because he had already been in talks with Oscar. Floyd is world class boxer and world class manipulator…he will make a fine promoter some day.
Myself I would rather see Mosley vs Pacquiao, I love Mosley but I think Floyd is plucking his chicken at the right time, he looked impressive against a strait forward slower Margarito, Old boxers and beat methodical fighters all day until there 50, but its the fast boxers that given them trouble late in their careers.
Bottom line is the fact that Mayweather wanted all this testing done for Pacquiao shows he had concern, he thinks Pacquiao is so great he must be on roids, imagine if Pacquiao took the tests and came back clean. That would mean that he is as good as Mayweather fears he is and a day or two before the fight Mayweather would suffer some sort of injury and pull out of the fight anyways. This fight sadly never happens because Floyd is not willing to risk that 0.
Listen t-dub and road killer,
get ur facts ryt 1st, de la hoya cald manny 2da ring and manny fought hm and embarasd hm and he knockd ricky owt cold, wen woz da last tym pbf did dat?? Dn he fyts cotto, a true warior and finishd hm. As u say he was draind, wot did cotto say after da fyt? He said simple and clear, manny is da best At da moment and da best fyta he has eva fought where as floyd, says hes gna wup pacman bt cnt do it. If he never cme up wiv da steroid rumur frm hs dad, da fyt wud be on.
I am starting to loose my support for Floyd I think he just keeps on maneuvering things going on in boxing. He’s better off retired.
this is extremely disappointing. Mayweather/Mosley is a much better fight than Mayweather/Pacquiao, as good as pacquiao is all of his recent victories have been against fighters with poor defense. Mayweather would have finished him easily, however Mosley is a whole different animal.
not commenting on this until its confirmed but I will say I’m not surprised if its true……..If flody thinks he’d rather wait for Manny and make more $$$ he may be mistaken…assuming Manny rips clottey like he did ODLH HATTON AND COTTO and if Mayweather does duck Mosley what would make Flody think he could have any levelage in striking a deal with Arum and Manny? I sure the blood testing would be out and Arum would knock the $$ split down to 70 / 30 in Manny’s favor not to mention weight, gloves, ring sized and location…….lets face it Floyd has to take this challage or ride off into the sunset with his 40-0 record and watch what it does to his legacy as a p4p fighter
If this report is true …. I am definitely have no more respect to PBF … as a true boxing fan .. I expect him to be at least into the sport not just for the money, he should also consider the fans.
Leave them hanging is not the way a champion behaves, they take in challenges whatever risk there is.
My man you are good and excellent boxer in your own way ,do this fight to prove all your detractors. If not … will drum up MOSLEY – PACMAN for 2010, it’s just next best and common sense thing to do.
I’d like to hear what Teddy “The Manufacturer” Atlas has to say. lol
Usmc.
You are incorrect maywather called mosley out numerous time couple eyars back and mosley backed out
anybody MAyweather fights other that Pac, Mosley, or Williams should be free… not PPV.
What a sucker!
it’s really funny when floyd fans react almost violently on this article coz they say the writer is not someone who is not credible, not a legitimate source, etc.
But when Mayweather & cohorts accused Pacquiao of using PEDs without proofs; they readily accepted it as the truth when in fact the accuser was (and probably still) a drug user and with contacts to “underground sources” of designer drugs.
i find the article above as nothing new with regards to Floyd’s hesitation to fight fighters bigger and more capable of beating him.
come to think of it, if floyd and shane will really fight, then why hesitate to announce it? they can easily say the fight will go on, state the date it’s May since it’s still more than 3months away, they are still ironing some details, just like they did in the Pac-May, etc.
But the silence is deafening.
If this is true… what a shame?
Nobody’s interested in him fighting another bum.
shame shame shame
It makes no sense
1. If it was about money, Floyd wouldn’t have fought Marquez (Mosley a bigger attraction)
2. If it was about being afraid, anybody with half a brain knows that Floyd would whoop Shane’s ass something terrible. I mean Shane has ONE good performance in recent years and hasn’t fought since then. And Shane plays into Floyd’s hands.
Bottom line is, the deal is being done, that NYE reporter is reporting on old “reports” from last week. And you gullible Floyd hating retards will eat your words.
somebody must built a monument in lasvegas.its look like floyd mayweather.NOW, boxingfans, help me to figure it out what name were we are going to callto that monument of floyyd.just think a good one. by the way,if pbf doesnt want to fight mosely, boxing fans will condemend him. it is an acceptance of being ducker chicken and cherry picker. he better fight tamara of columbia so that his 40 become 41 hahaha.
T-DUMB : What you said is easier to reverse. If only Floyd did not impose his own rule, there would have been a fight with Pac.
BOXING REGULATORS SHOULD BANNED FLOYD MAYWEATHER, BECAUSE HE DOESN’T WANT TO TAKE “REAL FIGHTS.”
I WAS HAVING SOME GOOD FEELINGS ABOUT MAYWEATHER, BUT NOW HE IS DOING THIS AGAIN!!
HE NEEDS TO HANG UP THE GLOVES, OR MOVE BACK DOWN IN WEIGHT WHERE HE CAN PICK AND CHOOSE SMALLER OPPENENTS, IN WHICH IS WHAT HE WANTS. “PHUCK MAYWEATHER, IF HE REALLY CHICKEN OUT AGAIN!”
EVERYONE WHO THOUGHT FLOYD WAS SCARED!!.. IS RIGHT!. Check this out! Mayweather KNEW, that he would not get another BIG pay-day, UNLESS! he fights Manny Pacquaio, FROM THE START! That was his first excuse last year, for not fighting Mosley! Plain and SIMPLE. He said it himself, during several interviews “Mosley does not bring enough money to the table;” Now, With Floyd saying that, ANY OTHER FIGHT WOULD BE SMALL CHANGE IN COMPARED TO FIGHTING MANNY PAC. SO, IF MAYWEATHER IS NOT GOING TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT WITH FIGHTING PAC-MAN, BECAUSE OF THE DRUG TESTING, THEN WHY IS HE MAKING THIS HIS EXCUSE?.. HE COULD HAVE FOUGHT PAC-MAN, BUT THERE WAS THE DRUG TEST THING (SUPPOSELY), AND NOW HE IS TALKING LIKE HE PLANS TO FIGHT MANNY PACQUAIO, WHEN HE COULD BE FIGHTING MOSLEY. I DON’T CARE WHAT NOBODY SAYS.. MAYWEATHER IS PUNK FOR THAT $HT!. IT’S NOT LIKE MAYWEATHER DIDN’T KNOW FROM THE START THAT HE WOULD BE GETTING A SMALLER AMOUNT, FIGHTING ANYONE OTHER THAN MANNY PACQUAIO. MAYWEATHER SHOULD HANG UP THE GLOVES; BECAUSE IF HE IS GOING TO WORRY ABOUT MAKING LESS THAN 40 MILLION THAT HE CAN MAKE WITH PACQUAIO, WELL, THERE REALLY ISN’T ANYONE OUT IN BOXING, AT THIS TIME, TO HELP GENERATE THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY. NO ONE!
lex_fug, even 1 man centuries ago, Voltaire can sum up it well and say it better than I can.
to all punk beeyotch fraud fans “common sense is not so common”; “illusion is the 1st of all pleasures”; “it is hard to free fools from the chains they revere” keep on believing your chicken $hite fraud, lol. keep on defending him. time will tell and show you all what he really is, a coward and a fraud. w/ lots of untested skills. for Fraud “it is vain for the coward to flee; death follows close behind; it is only by defying it that the brave escape” Fraud is vain and is a coward, while Manny has shown his bravery, testing himself and fighting challenges his haters say he cant beat.. for lex_fug and all the PBF minions “in every author let us distinguish the man from his work” we all know your true colors like PBF. you will lie and defend him, but as i told you lex before, your writing can eventually be referenced to see your lies on paper. remember, you are backing a coward, liar whos family has a history of arrests and convictions yet you believe their words. they respect no one, no authority. they are ignorant hypocrites like his/thier fans
If Floyd avoid Mosley he will be one of the biggest loser in the history of boxing…He should had fought Pac and not require any blood tests. I am Pacman and I would ask for 70-30 split, a catch weight, 8 onces gloves, no urine tests, no blood tests..
Floyd has to fight Mosley…I didn’t find this story in examiner.com, but I don’t think this is true.. rumors is all this sites reports..
The source is horrible. This NYE reporter is reporting from stories from weak sources from last week. Floyd will fight Shane. Believe it!
And look at all these gullible retards reading the story like it’s fact. LMFAO
The fight will happen. The Floyd smear campaign ill fail.
i have a REQUEST to all flyod’s die hard fans. Please convince your best and skillful fighter to fight with shane moseley. It is only the sports he wont get killed. All the best.
roadkill: Julio Cesar Chavez is 41-0 enough said. Whatever man, the 0 doesn’t mean anything. Still finding excuses for your man PBF to not fight a legit WW. I knew this fight wasn’t going to happen. I want to see Mosley vs Mayweather, Mosley vs Pac, and Pac vs Mayweather. You guys making excuses for PBF makes you look like biased Mayweather fans. True boxing fans would realize that if PBF doesn’t take this fight and walks away from an easy $10 million than he should be suspect as a coward. You say who in their right mind would walk away from $40 million? Who in their right mind would walk away from an easy $10 million when they have had a big portion of their last paycheck taken by the IRS?
surprise, surprise. poutry beeyotch fraud will find a way not to fight the best ww’s. he will use any reasoning to avoid ‘em. Lex_fug, i am now completely convinced, you need not only to go back to school ( a different one) for further education… go back to your old school and get your money back. they didnt do a good job and your assoc degree is a joke. keep making excuses buddy and keep trying to tarnish Pacquiao’s name. PBF is the coward, loser. as i mentioned, he will continue to prove me write, the same way you cant comprehend and keep writing lies when the conversation and arguments dont go your way.
also its funny how the pacfans keep talkin like mayweather afraid of mosley and ducking him..isnt this the same mosley that called pacman and his teams bluff?lol. they said they would only fight mosley at a catchweight-then mosley agreed, then they changed it and said they would only fight him at 140-then mosley agreed, and then they completely backed out becos they knew mosley would accept any conditions, and that style wise and due to his chin he was more difficult a fight then any other welter or light welter.lolol u guys are a joke..i believe thats called selective memory
i will be very dissapointed if this fight doesnt happen, tbh this source doesnt seem to credible becos pac wont fight again till well after his whole politics thing in may happens which means the negotiations for a mayweather fight wont start till june,and therefore the fight wont happen till like september.thats a year off for mayweather i dont c him stayin that inactive and holding out for pac,cos it may never happen hes already wasted enough time, got a feeling its jus more people tryna bash pbf cos it doesnt seem to make sense
what would you expect from floyd?…MPs greatness exposed the truth behind floyd every single fight,back then there was no one to be compared to floyd,but it all change when manny steps in and became the legit p4p,all floyds fight became questionable,exposing his briliance in picking smaller of fading boxer to fight!…so do you think floyd would fight mosley?…floyd got cornered this time…a broken hand or any lame injury excuses can only save his ass!….
Haha! Let’s see mayweather duck this one. If he does, he’s heading for retirement as Manny has proven he’s not worried about the risk by taking on clottey while mayweather is only thinking about his payday. Sure, Manny will give him a chance to get into the ring with him but pbf will definitely not get that 50-50. If he doesn’t agree, then manny will just keep on going after all these welterweights.
Man up Floyd!!!!
am for pacquiao but i won’t believe mayweather is ducking this one out. the source is unreliable. will have to wait and see. ellerbe and schaefer are pushing mayweather to fight mosley since they, too, will have to eat their own words if the fight with mosley does not push through. ellerbe and schaefer will NOT care if mayweather loses. if mayweather does not want to fight mosley or pacquiao, the opportunity to make money is lost and they won’t have a choice but to dump maywetter.
roadkill
I agree with you and I have no idea who in this world besides Pac would leave 40 million off the top because of a blood test. Manny hasn’t fought any fighter that I know of in welter weight with saying they need to be at a certain weight. Looking at 24/7 with him and De La Hoya, Manny got to eat good, De La Hoya couldn’t even eat at all, but also it was like that with Cotto.
Everybody taslks about Mosley being a hard fight, thats true, but is he worhth fighting. Mosley getting the biggest payday of his career and if you look at it, he was going to fight Berto on Jan 30, 2010 on HBO, not HBO PPV. He is not a HBO PPV fighter, he is a HBO fighter, Mayweather running, come on, just because he won’t allow Mosley to get into the ring and get rich. The last time Mosley was on PPV at fight was when he was all in Floyd interview trying to get some PPV time and fight, so get off of all these fighters trying to get rich off of Floyd. If Mayweather beats Shane then all of you who don’t like Floyd would say Floyd needs to fight Pac,then on and on, people want Floyd to lose thats it, Pac is the best after 3 welter weight matches against drained boxers, yeah right, tell Pac to fight at there weight and Mosley Paul Williams is ready to fight if he wants to fight.
Pbf seems to be expertly manouvering himself out of anyone actually giving a damn what he does. I’m by no means a Mayweather hater, it just all seems sooo cynical.
everybody talking about Floyd dodging, Damn, look at Pac, all he has to do is take a blood test, and the fight would be on, Floyd, all he has to do is come in at the weight that he suppose to come in at and then he will fight. Pac has something to hide and Mayweather knows that, thats why he asked for that blood test.
Put a chicken in a tiger suit it’s still a chicken.
Damaged goods. Taking a dive. Goodbye, boxing.
PBF will wait for Mega-Manny? If and when that fight happens, Manny will be calling the shots.
IF he avoids mosley he should retire.
Pac will take on mosely and then retire a real fighter.
haha. Very predictable… If Mayweather does not fight Mosley, he should retire.. what makes him think that Manny would even give him 50-50 share if he doesn;t even do the fight with Mosley? If Mayweather takes a lower cut, maybe. After Clottey, Many will likely take on Mosley.
now a new reason from floyd’s camp cropped up not to fight mosley. well, well, well, he really wants easy fights…
Pathetic Lil Floyd, the world already knew from the beggining that he will find another reason to avoid fighting Sugar Shane Mosley. When is he going to understand that this is not making him any good,when is GBP going to stop supporting him. Im disgusted, cannot find an appropriate word to describe FMJ !!!
i’m mayweathers biggest fan but he has to fight mosley.I will lose some respect for him if he decides to fight a weaker fighter.He has to fight Manny + Mosley if his legacy matters so much too him.I know he will best them both
I kinda give Floyd the benefit of the doubt or at least for now. I figure if he is so afraid of taking on the top welters, he would’ve stayed retired. And I don’t see a good reason for him to pass up on the chance to fight Shane. If that happens, Shane goes knocking on Pac’s door and they just might end up fighting. After all, a deal with Shane is far more easier as opposed to one with Floyd. Pac and Shane agree to a fight while Floyd gets frozen out. Would Floyd let that happen, especially if Pac’s next fight is his last?? If Floyd fights Shane and beats him, not only will he quiet the critics but will gain negotiation leverage over Pac which could make it easier to set up a Floyd-Pac fight late Fall. Overall, the rewards outweigh the risks.
Only way Floyd can save himself from ridicule if he denies Mosley is to fight Paul Williams or Kelly Pavlik but…that’s highly unlikely.
Time will come when you have no more money no more believers no more pride and nothing else to lose. Then maybe you’ll face manny and maybe for once you can find it in your heart…
courage
Have to secure Floyd from any loss…save him for Pac. This is for the sake of both fighters and for that ultimate fight. It will not be the same if one of them looses before they meet.
people…
this is an apparent exposure to floyd..
10m vs 40m…. lol
the commission should have exposed and investigated the doc who demanded blood extraction from paks during pak/morales1
i’m for sure d guy tip the mayweather camp and would have to
receive another mil have d fight push tru…
lex_fugitive
Take slow deep breaths… breathe in slow… deep… exhale.
Hope that calms you down.
It’s over man. Time to stop denying and start healing.
It’s true lex… floyd is chicken.
That was so predictable ! he will end up fighting Paulie
Still to early… have to wait for official statement.
I think Mayweather is just giving us the reverse psychology of having random drug testing for his fight with Pacquiao. He’ll pull that off the table and have the fight take place because he’ll be the one using performance enhancing drugs to ensure that he’ll have the advantage for that fight. If Manny sees through his bluff and agrees to the testing, watch how Mayweather fakes an injury or makes up another excuse. Things will never change with Floyd Jr. Perhaps his fans are waking up and realizing this now.
book book bookkk boookkk!..i smell chicken running!
to lex_fugitive, i would rather advice you to change your allegiance because it looks like you’re the only one being a pro-mayweather..well a few probably and mr lahr of course…but can’t you see the reality? you’ve never heard manny pacquiao trash talking to anyone..he’s GOD fearing and helps the poor..he’s probably quite outside the ring but exciting and fearless inside it…i’m not being biased but look at the mayweathers, apart from being disrespectful, they’re all convited of crimes of different sorts…do you think they are the kind of individuals to be adored of? they certainly are bad example to children..
Floydroids vs Sugaroids is a good match-up….We will be witnessing, for the first time in boxing history, pitting two proven PED user fighting inside the ring….Imagine, steroid user vs xylocaine user…what a helluva fight!!!!In this fight we will know which PED is the best….what a fight…all time great PED user in the making…This fight needs no random testing because the playing field is already even, both proven PED user and cheater!!!!!
Lex, you are such a hypocrite. You are not saying PACMAN is on steroid but you are crucifying him because he does not want to do a drug test as your idol KFC has suggested. This is even though PACMAN has never tested positive to any PEDS. I was looking at your past postings.
i bet floyd is cursing God for allowing Haiti earthquake to happen. Now that Mosley is available after Berto backed out, understandably so, Floyd is left open and exposed.
mr.sweetsci;
I never said Manny is on steroids.
If Floyd is going to play safe and not fight Mosley. I’m also not keen to see him fight against Pacquiao. Mayweather should be kicked out of boxing, he’s a disgrace in the sports of boxing.
lex….then some people should stop believing manny on PEDs. since no proof, no evidence. right?
lex…you’ve been here long enough. you should know that by now. no proof, no evidence, no case, right?
@lex_fugitve:
What do you mean “…why did Manny want to know the penalties for testing dirty and if a positive test could be kept secret???”. This is crap since the is absolutely no evidence that Manny or his camp ever said this. Supposedly there was a secret email regarding this, hah! Secret my as*, if this was the true then this should have come out already. But, again some Pac-haters are willing to believe anything without any justifiable truth. You know lex no matter what Pacquiao does you’ll always find a way to discredit his achievements.
mr.sweetsci;
Thats my point!! Neither the Manny reps asking these questions or this Marley creep are reliable. And for this to be on here is insane.
lex….you mean that’s a hearsay. not even a hard copy to prove it. have you been following ted atlas lately? he’s been anti-pacquiao!
Right now, Floyd don’t wanna fight ANYBODY. And that’s better?
LMAO having to act like your me because you don’t know anything to back up what you say. LOL At least Floyd isn’t fighting a severly undertrained Clottey.
mr.sweetsci;
The news about Mannys reps asking those questions come from Tim Smith of NY Daily News and Teddy Atlas. They never revealed their source. As for Michael Marley he has a really creepy adoration for Pacquiao. Just check out any articles from that site. Literally every single article on there is twisting the facts to bash Mayweather or stating that Manny is a God.
Looks as of the Mayweathers are in a bind. If Jr. really does want to fight Manny then it will be on Top Rank’s terms. Purse split, weight, VENUE, the whole damn pie. And we all know Floyd won’t fight in Dallas.
Chicanos and Mexican boxing fans are getting in on the Pacquaio-Clottey fight, assuring the organizers of more than decent gate receipts.
Roger Mayweather’s proving himself to be as high as any junkie, ON AIR! The Mayweathers are a PR person’s worst nightmare.
I will have no more excuses if this is true. I love Floyd but this is going beyond my boundaries. I would be instantly converted to be a Pactard myself if this is true. Darling Floyd, please shed your glorious light to me and to all who hug your nuts. Fight Mosley.
people…..i’m just hoping this news isn’t true. i think i need more information before i make comment on this. it’s still shaky for me to believe this.
as for the rumor of that penalty of being manny dirty, there’s no reliable source for that. anybody know where that came from?
Mayweather fought Marquez who was a super-feather weight 18 months previous… Floyd had not fought at that weight for 9 years.
Respect for facing De La Hoya and thats about it as far as I am concerned. If you fight 2/3 from Pacquiao, Mosley and Williams then yeah, your the greatest but until then you a fight dodger who has never cleaned up a division.
Everyone;
Since we’re now believing unnamed sources from a wanna be reporter, then why did Manny want to know the penalties for testing dirty and if a positive test could be kept secret???
and if i were manny, i’d fight mosley instead of floyd… then retire and leave floyd flat on his chicken ass.
if i was in floyds shoes id also wait for manny why would you take that kind of risk, you would be stupid. i do think floyd would be beaten against mosley but not against manny. i think he would beat manny
floyd want to fight Paulie,but GBP wants a more revenue fight,this will be fun to watch ,now how will floyd come out of this mess…..might have to take a week of thinking and planing.
Floyd doesn’t want to fight pacquiao because he thought he’s on roids giving manny have undue advantage over him. Now he wants to fight him instead because he’s a low risk high reward option than mosely. What the F..!
It doesn’t take a genius to figure this out. Floyd’s a chicken and a con man. His filthy antics is making me puke.
Floyd Mayweather vs. Saul Alvarez actually makes sense.
I think Saul Alvarez is a good option….as a stay busy fight until the Pac fight rols around in September.
Alvarez is selling out 20,000 seat arenas….by himself.
Schafer said that with Floyd they would put it in -Azteca Stadium- in Mexico.
It would be an ass in each of the 100,000 seats.
has to be true,as GBP said a fight would be announce friday ,and even pac said that floyd has a first shot to fight mosley and their are talking.and the rumor of a deal almost being reached,something holding it back,like this,remember GBP is representing floyd so ,because the pac and floyd fight was called off. the next fight of floyd is GBP choice ,and they will go for the most money fight,ha,ha,and floyd would be the one dragging his feet,as in no choice,ha. now floyd is wish GBP wasn’t involved presser ……
If this report is true then floyd has finally revealed his true colors. A chicken “coward” who wants to protect his egg “zero loss”. What a shame…
not surprise here,well its expected some sort of excuse, he also seen some of mosley tapes and got the cold feet again,floyd your in a mess ,don’t think too hard, as on the other end is your faithful fans.just do the right thing,and be a man and fight.
If this reporter is credible then Tim Smith and Teddy Atlas are fountains of truth.
Has anyone ever read any articles on Examiner??? They put out a minamum of two or three articles bashing floyd every day. Literally. Yet nothing was on Examiner or here when a source revealed Manny’s representatives asked what penalties Manny would face for testing dirty for PEDs and if a positive test would be kept secret from the public for the good of boxing. One reporter reports an article that casts Floyd in a bad light with one unidentified source and it gets attention. One reporter writes an article casting Manny in a bad light based on one unnamed source and gets no attention. Interesting.
mayweather is scared to death of shane mosley
Uh oh, here we go again. PBF is doing his chicken dance once more. Maybe we should ask Floyd for a mental test because he’s definitely cuckoo. First he doesn’t want to fight Pacquiao w/o an olympic-style blood test. Now he’s thinking of fighting Pacquiao because he deems him as less risky than Mosley. I bet he won’t fight either man because in the end he will see both as dangerous fights, he will never risk his precious “egg”. Stop clucking Floyd and just fight!
Micheal Marley is not a legitimate journalist. And The Examiner is not a legitimate news outlet. Its more of asocial networking place than anything. Any one of us can go there and start a profile and start writing articles. Its pretty ridiculous to repeat the words of someone who has no clout or respect in the industry as if he knows anything. He’s just a hater like anyone these bottom feeders that comment on articles. Except that he is the one writing the article.
While I didn’t get what you meant by using Margarito as a pawn, I think your proposal of getting Manny to fight Margarito works on paper, but won’t he have the same asterisks next to a Margarito fight as, say, a Cotto fight? A damaged fighter with a rocky past, easy to write off if he is beaten by Manny?
Meanwhile, paging all lex_fugitive’s and fight doctor’s, and whomever else supports Floyd… If this article is true in any way, can you still stand up and defend Mayweather, who would rather skirt a true champion in order to save his record, reputation and bank roll?
…ryan
