Floyd Mayweather vs Miguel Cotto, May 5th [MGM Las Vegas]

[CZAR]

how can you be so dumb? seriously bro.

Top Rank's minimum guarantee to Pacquiao to fight Floyd is $50 million dollars (plus PPV revenue). Why would he take $10 million less with 0% of the PPV split? How seriously dumb are you man? How is it this hard for you to figure out?

Why wouldn't Floyd accept a $50 million guarantee with 55/45 split of the PPV going to the winner? How is that not fair? Only a complete floyd groupie or someone who has absolutely no knowledge of how boxing works would support floyd in this situation. You have a fight that will generate over $150 million dollars in PPV alone and Pac is supposed to take a flat fee of $40 million? Are you retarded or a groupie?

Are u dumb bro, are u an idiot bro. This is ludacris bro. This is proposperous bro. Haha stop whining dog. Manny is Arum's puppet simple as that. Mayweather aint letting no one pimp him. The fight aint here so quit crying about it and move on. U taking this way to personal homie. Everyone isnt gonna agree with u man. Got Em!!

OK.

I mean can u feel me a little bit? Got Em!!

That's what I thought couldn't answer a single question.

 

[bigface]

Floyd contradicts himself every fuckin time he speaks.

First it's fighting for the fans and giving them whatever they want to see and the next minute he's fighting for Floyd Mayweather and then two days later he's fighting for the fans again.

J @jabking , according to you Manny should get a 50/50 split, but Floyd is saying no, who is holding up the fight right now? We aren't talking about who held up the fight from 2009 to 2011. We are talking right now, who is holding up the fight?

Bob Arum is holding up the fight. I guess everyone just forgot that Bob Arum never picked up the phone to try and make the fight in the 1st place. After a month of trying to make the fight with Arum and getting no call back, Mayweather got pissed off called Manny direct and made the offer $40 million. Before the call Mayweather knew the fight would not be made, because Bob Arum refused to come to the table to try and make the fight. Mayweather will get blamed for the fight not happening, no matter what even if we all know and listened to Arum make every excuse in the book on why Manny couldn't fight. Floyd is going to jail June 1st and had to make a fight on May 5th that's why he's fighting Cotto. Top Rank and Mayweather needs to sit down and really negiotate the fight. Manny is running out of creditable Top Rank people to fight, but Mayweather still has a lot other people he can fight for big money and big PPV numbers. The longer Top Rank plays there games the harder it's going to be to make the fight happen. Manny better look good against Bradley and do good PPV numbers or he will never see a 50/50 split or the $40 million again.

Back to Cotto vs Mayweather. Cotto is going to get stopped, if slow ass Margarito was still hitting him clean, then Floyd is going to hit him a lot in this fight.

floyd should win easily on points. chance of a knockout is slim.

and the fact you think Cotto is a shot fighter of course...

No, I just realized that trying to get you to look at things from a logical and reasonable perspective ain't gonna work.

Man who really knows whats goin on behind closed doors and whats really the deciding factor. Maybe they both dont wanna fight each other who knows. All in all if it ever happens I think May would win, other than that all we can do is speculate. Got Em!!

Haha dude said u offered the other guy 40 mill. Mayweather said :I never offered Miguel Cotto that" haha classic. Got Em!!

 

[MOREBASS]

"Absolutely not. I'm not giving up the split, I can't afford to"

"With or without Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather is ok. Floyd Mayweather fights for Floyd Mayweather.. At the end of the day, Floyd Maywearther has to be happy, because when your career is over, when everything is said and done, I have to be happy and I have to be comfortable."

"Now look at the Ali situation. When Ali can trade it all in... once again, when fans and the people were pushing him to get into the fights that he shouldn't have even been involved with... so guess what, they pushed him. They wanted to see what they wanted, and that's not what Ali wanted. If Ali can trade it in right now, for his health, he would."

"....I'm in the game to win, not just in the ring, but outside the ring, and my health is more important than everything."

These type of quotes from Floyd confirm what I've always thought about a potential fight with Pacquiao.


I don't think he's scared, but I do think that there might be a little doubt here on his part.

What's sad is that Floyd feels like his whole legacy rests on the strength of the "0" on his record, and he believes losing that "0" would overshadow everything he's accomplished in the ring. (Which it wouldn't)


Everything leading up to this potential mega-fight has really highlighted his insecurities, IMO.

How is Arum to blame when you said the fight should go 50/50? How is Arum to blame when Floyd made the $40 million offer and said no one is getting 50/50?

Bob Arum never sat down to negotiate the fight with Mayweather or GBP. Mayweather made the call to Manny after two months of chasing after Arum to negotiate the fight. You can't negotiate a fight if Bob won't answer your calls.

Bob Arum doesn't do the bulk of negotiating these days you tend to forget that. Mayweather himself said he met with Michael Koncz several times and talked to Todd DeBouf.

How is it Arums fault if he talked to Pac or Koncz and offered $40 million? At that point it is out of Arums hands. So lets say he did talk to Arum, what type of deal do you think they would have negotiated?

 

[2-0-Sixx]

can anyone answer me why Hatton made more money than Mayweather when they fought? Riddle me that, accountants!

Its interesting that the control freak allowed Hatton to take 100% of the UK ppv money which was a lot of money. Other English fighters always give a cut David hate gave 50% to klitchko, khan offered 50% to Bradley and so on. Makes u think that if Floyd was willing to let Hatton get paid more than him but wont settle for less than what comes out to something like 80-20 or 70-30 to Pacquiao what's really going on.

 

[Tony]

Damn^, good point if it's true. Not calling 206 a liar.

1st Pacquiao had a problem with the drug testing now Floyd has a problem with the money split.

These mf's are both playing games. They keep pointing the finger at each other but both are responsible for the fight not happening.

 

[Tony]

Come on Floyd, "just take the split"

Martinez says that he plans to return to 154 possibly in his next fight.

Martinez says he'll stay at 160 if he can get the title shot the WBC promised him but 154 is where his body belongs. #boxing


Can you say Mayweather vs Martinez?? I see the writing on the wall Cotto, Canelo,and then Martinez.

 

[T-Rip]

I think Martinez would be next if Martinez doesn't fight Chavez Jr.
