The Boxing Thread (Sweet Science) - Mayweather vs. Maidana

[nflman2033]

Kirkland beat Angulo senseless...JK has immense power but I'd love to see him fight Sergio....that would be cray.

that first round could be round of the year, if all fights were like that Boxing would bigger than MMA.

the end of that round is all anybody needs to know who won the fight

Mayweather called Pacman and they spoke directly. Pacquiao said he'd fight on 5/5 only if he gets a 50/50 split of the revenue.

Rumors the sides are negotiating but who knows if that's true. There's still the stuff that Arum says Pacquiao cannot fight until late May because of a cut and they have to build an location for a fight in Las Vegas. Apparently, Floyd also told ESPN that 50/50 split can't happen, but there's some doubt whether that's accurate.

Stay tuned.

At least Floyd's trying....

"I called him and asked him about us fighting May 5 and giving the World what they want to see," Mayweather's email read. "I also let him know we both can make a lot of money. He ask about a 50/50 split and I told him no that can't happen, but what can happen is you can make more money fighting me then you have made in your career. I also let him know I'm in control on my side but he needs to get on the same page with his promoter so we can make this fight happen."

I told him to tell his promoter that he only wants to fight Mayweather and that this fight will be the biggest fight in history. His manger came to my boxing gym a few months ago and we spoke about getting the defamation of character lawsuit dropped against me and about both fighters taking the random blood and urine test. I spoke to his manager again last night about the same thing. The call last night lasted 15 or 20 minutes. I mainly spoke to his manager he got on and off the phone real quick."

No reason it shouldn't be 50/50

No reason it shouldn't be 50/50

We all say that. As much as I like Floyd as a fighter, I hate that his ego is helping to kill this bout. For him, making more money than his opponent = proving he has the bigger dick (or is the bigger dick).

Reason it should be 50/50

Pacquiao vs anyone else = I'm not buying
Mayweather vs anyone else = I'm not buying

Absolutely embarrassing for the sport that these two haven't fought yet.

Does Cotto have any shot against Mayweather?

Does Cotto have any shot against Mayweather?

No chance in hell.

[EmpireWF]

Cotto's purse and cut of the PPV will likely bring him at least $10 million.

[EmpireWF]

Cotto weighed in at 154 and Mayweather at 151. Their stare down lasted forever, Mayweather started talking shit and Cotto finally got pissed off before they were separated.

Mosley has an hour to lose a 1/2 pound. Is he a big underdog against the young champ?

Yahoo found Mayweather and Pac Man were so close on a deal to fight in 2010, contracts were drawn up.

http://m.yahoo.com/w/sports/home/news/article?urn=urn%3Anewsml%3Asports.yahoo%2Clego%3A19780928%3Atop%2Carticle%2Ce0383148-8251-322f-8ffe-cef911acde32-l%3A1&.ts=1338587499&.intl=US&.lang=en

They had a 50/50 split but thats when pac pulled out over drug testing.


Now, he says the testing isn't the issue but Floyd is not offering 50/50 pay.

[EmpireWF]

So, anyone thinking of a Pac Man loss tonight?

[EmpireWF]

Terrible decision.
