Stop it anyone with half a brain just has to ask one question why was it 50-50 or no fight when Mayweather wanted you May 5th 2012? The only people buying this bullshit are the same dumb asses co-signing Manny running from Mayweather because of OSDT 2009, then running from $40 million and Mayweather again May 5th 2012.
FYI,It's just funny that Manny always agrees to all of Mayweather terms after he signs up to fight someone else, BUT MANNY NEVER AGREES WHEN THE CONTRACT IS IN FRONT OF HIM. Things that make you say hhmmmm..

Khan is trying to fight Soto?
Does he want to die?
Here are some options for Khan:
Lucas Matthysse
Mike Alvarado
Brandon Rios
Olusegun Ajose
Marcos Maidana
Jessie Vargas
Josesito Lopez
Tim Bradley
Kendall Holt
Ruslan Provodnikov
Any one of those guys would put Khan in a coma.
Anne Wolf would put Khan on the ground.
He needs to be calling out Paulie.
Or maybe Morales...

Marquez also said that Mayweather would beat Manny, so what is your point??
Manny Fans are so funny. Manny agreed to all of Mayweather terms, but just not when it's time to sign a contract like in 2009 or May 2012. lol. Using Mayweather's name to sale you BS 4th fight nothing more nothing less.

BUNDRAGE STILL FREE, BUT WON'T COME CHEAP
By Doveed Linder
IBF junior middleweight champion Cornelius K-9 Bundrage, still a promotional and managerial free agent, updated his status to Boxingtalk, saying, Right now, I'm a free agent. I'm 'America's Most Wanted', because a lot of people have been reaching out to me. TMT Promotions wanted to work with me. I actually got a call from 50 Cent. I got a call from DiBella Entertainment, too. I've never gotten so many calls before. I don't even know how all these people got my phone number. I talked to Miguel Cotto's advisor a little while back and we were close to making a deal. They told me that they were prepared to make an offer and that they would call me the next day, but the phone didn't ring. Instead, they decided to make a deal with Austin Trout. My guess is Trout was willing to fight Cotto for less than I would have. I heard Canelo Alvarez made two million for his last fight and that Josesito Lopez only made two hundred thousand. Me? I'm not doing this for an opportunity to become champion. I'm already a champion. I've been a champion for over two years and I want to get what I'm worth. I got a call recently from a guy in Europe who wants to promote me overseas. He told me he could get me low risk fights for more money. He said I would be making more money over there than I would over here in America against the big names. The Bible says that man is honored more in another country than he is in his own, and that's the truth. I'm just happy to be a promotional free and managerial free agent. I can make my own decisions now. Time will tell what direction I take. I want to get back in the ring in November or December, but I'm not going to fight for pocket change. I want what I deserve. As they say, 'Once I was blind, but now I can see.' I took short change before, but not anymore. I'm a thirty-nine year old, 5'6 world champion. Come get it! Christmas is right around the corner and I can't wait to see what God brings me.

Great numbers from chavez-martinez. 475,000 PPV buys, numbers are expected to rise according to hbo: http://www.boxingscene.com/chavez-martinez-475k-ppv-buys-25-million-revenue--57372
Imagine if Canelo didn't fight on the same night on free showtime. which btw was the highest rated showtime boxing event. That's some crazy numbers considering both these fights were on at the same time. Golden Boy & Top Rank need to stop acting childish and work together when it comes to dates.

Fully agree. I wouldnt even fight Peterson. Even if he knocks Peterson out in the 1st round it wouldnt do much for him. He should be way beyond that after beating Manny. Got Em!!
We all know that! Cotto is a bigger puncher than Mayweather but who won? What does that have to do with winning & losing? U have to be a better boxer/fighter and Manny is not better than Floyd. Most that have fought both said Mayweather would win. Even Mosley said Mayweather would win. Got Em!!
I wouldnt mind Floyd/Bradley at all. Got Em!!

But u will put weight into what a basketball analyst says? Hahahah in the lustrious words of Keyshawn Johnson........"Cmon man!" Also Im sure Cotto turned down the Manny fight because he didnt want a catchweight. If Manny agrees to 154 then Im sure the fight would go on. Also Manny would get great props if he fought Cotto at 154 and beat him but he plays it to safe all the time. Got Em!!
didn't I specifically say don't shoot the messenger when I posted the video? I'm not cosigning anything by either of those knuckleheads, just that its funny how Smith is saying floyd is ducking after a year or so of him saying Pacquiao was.
not sure how pac moving up in weight and beating cotto for his title was playing it safe. he's such a small guy he could have played it safe and stayed at 135 or 140 and fought guys his own size. Fighting Cotto again would be pointless, glad it didn't happen, even at 154. Also if he fought and beat at 154 then Floyd would demand they fight at 154 since floyd has a title there, that would be a big advantage for Floyd. Would be a dumb move on Pac if he did that. He's tapped out at 147, hell, marquez looked bigger than him in the third fight.

He was playing it safe because he fought Cotto at a catchweight and Cotto was drained. Fight him at 154. Weve seen smaller fighters fight bigger fighters all the time. Martinez isnt a tru middleweight and fought a huge Chavez Jr., I guarantee u if Manny fought Cotto at 154 that the weighjt difference wouldnt be as big as it was between Martinez/Chavez Jr. Got Em!!
1 pound didn't drain Cotto. Do you know what drained is?
This is drained:
This was Cotto 145 pounds:
This was Cotto 146 pounds:
yeah pretty much everyone pacquiao has fought.
The weight wouldn't matter at all if pac fought cotto at 154 because of the styles and the fact cotto is a small JMW himself. Like I said the problem if pac fights cotto at 154 then he'd have to fight floyd at 154 and then that's when size does become a problem because floyd is already bigger than him plus his style is going to be very difficult for pac as it is. He'd be giving up too much. They need to fight at 147.
