If Mayweather is to be considered for HOF

  • If he is any kind of champion, and any type of a man, he will fight Pacquiao. Wow, that is a weird name to spell.

    Anyways, he has been backing away from him for too long. He doesn't want to fight him because he wants to stay undefeated. I don't think even Mayweather supporters can say anything other than tell him to stop being a coward and fight the man the fans want to see beat your butt.

    Mayweather is probably the biggest idiot in sports. To listen to him talk is tantamount to watching an episode of Maury. But, we don't pay to hear him talk. I want to see Pacquiao beat that man unconscious. He has hand-picked opponents for too long. He knew Cotto didn't stand much, if any, chance. Cotto is tough as hell, but does'nt have the speed to hurt him. Manny, on the other hand, will be the first guy Money faces that is faster than him. Splains why he is stalling.

  • I cannot believe he had Justin Beiber, or however you spell that kid's name, and Fiddy Cent come out with him carrying his belts. He is an idiot. I would pull for him if he fought abo, though. That would be funny.

    How much would you pay for a ppv: Mayweather v abo. A 10 round non-title bout?

  • He's already a hall of famer without fighting Manny. And yes some of the things he does is a huge turnoff, but that doesn't change his resume.

  • He won't fight him. Will never happen. He can't beat him and he knows it.

  • He is definitely a HOF'rbut he is faster at dancing from Manny than his phenominal footwork in the ring. He said he won't fight Manny unless they submit to drug tests before the the fight. Manny agreed but Money said that it would weaken him too much, so he won't do it. WTF? Imo, Manny is not faster than Floyd, but its his power and fight tempo that scares him the most. Mayweather is a bad man, but until he fights Manny, I will think of him as a really talented coward.

  • Did manny ever agree to the blood drug test?

    I think they will finally fight next year, but sadly, both will be way past their prime.

    Both are Hall of Famers, even if they don't fight. Mayweather is an idiot, but a great fighter. Need to man up and make the fight happen.

    Yes, he did agree, but then Mayweather said the same drugtests were unreasonable. Its like if I said I would play you in HORSE, if you started with H and O, then, after you agree, I say you have to start with S as well, and then E. Nobody, including Mayweather, cares, or even suspects performance enhancing drugs. Its just another

    I have never seen a fighter so openly scared of fighting someone. He is a fighter, he had to have considered losing before. I guess he does not want to be knocked out. The best comparison is Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell. Tito tried to get around it, but he ended up fighting him.

    Mayweather is faster at moving around, but I think Pacquiao's hand speed is a little better. Regardless, the power difference is very large.

    Surprisingly, they both appear to be very much in their prime still. Especially Pacquiao.

    Mayweather is really going to look like one of the biggest cowards in sports history if he does not fight Manny.

  • I think there I some blame on both sides he offered 60/40 split of 100 million

    Manny wants 50/50

    Mayweather is also a promoter and the fight would make that much money

    Let's compare the two pay per views. Mayweather fought cotto and made it the richest purse in boxing history that was not the same for manny and cotto

    Compare Mannys numbers in a month

    Either way we are talking about two guys arguing over how to share 100 million eventually it will get figures out unless Floyd keeps fighting and making 30 million a shot he will be set for life with 3 or 4 more fighta

    Mayweather is being a coward? He's the one that fought Cotto where Cotto has fought his whole career, 154 class. Pacman wouldn't do that. He made Cotto come down to a catch weight at 147. And Mayweather was fighting with 10oz gloves instead of 8oz gloves. Only the second time he has done that in his career. The holdup is Bob Arum won't accept a 60/40 payout. No reason Pacman should get 50/50. Mayweather consistently brings in the money when he boxes. Look up the stats. Mayweather is not ducking Pacman.

    This tells me you are not a fan of boxing. 50 cent is his best friend and walks out with him every time.

    Pretty much. It's a pecker measuring contest between promoters. Mayweather and Arum.

  • It seems so simple. Let the winner get 60% and the loser 40%.

  • steve miller clearly needs to spend less time on TBS and more time pay attention to boxing if he is going to start more threads like this.

    Anyone saying Floyd is scared to fight Manny is out of their minds.

  • I'm not a huge fan of his but the reason the Pacman fight won't happen is bc Pac wants more than the 40 million that Floyd is offering him. 40 million would be the biggest purse Pac has ever made but he wants a 50/50 cut and the ppv will probably bring 250 million in. This is per espn mag.

  • $$$ May would crush pacman. He's already a HOF'er.

    SIGMA6COCK

  • Pac wants the equal share because he's afraid he'll lose and his financial downfall ,as far as boxing goes, would begin. Manny is a great fighter but he hasn't really beaten anyone!! I feel like Juan Manuel won at least two of the fights if not all three.

    64cock109095

  • Watched a few of those Mayweather reality show episodes on HBO and Floyd was adamant that the fight could easily happen if Pac agreed to the money split. He said that he has never even met Pacman in person but has personally called him several times to try and set the fight up. Mayweather said the phone conversation went something like this : Flo: Hey Pac let's make it happen man the fans want to see it and it could be the biggest ever. PAC: 50/50 bitch. (Click) LOL. Seems to me if he was ducking, he wouldn't even make the effort. His legacy as the best pound for pound fighter is pretty much established with or without Pac but it would definitely be the biggest PPV event ever.

    This is correct about Bob Arum being the hold up. First of all with the drug testing, and then Mayweather secured the venue yesterday and offered the fight to Manny and Bob Arum tap danced all around it and would not accept. Cotto only got the fight after Manny and Bob Arum ran from the fight.

    Nope, not really a fan of Mayweather. Don't really watch the moron.

    He is good though. Is Beiber his best friend too?

    Why bash the guy if you don't watch him? You shouldn't try to invest your ideas into something you really have any clue of. And btw that moron is one of the best in the market at promoting himself. No one does it better.

    I really just started this thread because it was a boring Sunday, and Mpcoan was getting restless. So, being the good e-friend that I was, rather than letting mpcoan go un-entertained, I started posting stuff.

    I have seen a few of Mayweather's fights. He is very skilled. He is so good at promoting himself by getting people like me to hate him, and want to see him get his @$$ handed to him.
