Comments Thread For: Arum: Floyd Mayweather is Fighting Erik Morales Next

[hitking]

Dan Rafael will do what he's paid to do and then pig out at the free press buffet. Doesn't matter much with the fighter or promoter.

OK. Like I said, the reports are the reports. I'll run with what's been reported. Just like I ran with the 1.3 that Pacquaio-Mosleyy reportedly did. Just like the 850K Pacquaio-Hatton reportedly did. At least GBP puts out numbers. Arum won't even do that.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s fourth-round knockout of Victor Ortiz to reclaim a welterweight title on Sept. 17 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas generated 1.25 million buys and $78.44 million in domestic pay-per-view revenue, Golden Boy Promotions announced Friday.

Dan Rafael was only reporting what GBP said. LMAO!!!

So, where is the official HBO press release regarding the PPV?

With everything available to every person on this planet with internet accesss. I doubt seriously that GBP would put out a fraudulent report with the numerous *******s in the media that would love to expose a lie.

What's wrong with Mayweather fighting Ortiz? I mean, personally I didn't like the match-up. But, I remember a day when Mayweather was fighting the likes of Hatton and JMM and people claimed he was ducking the top welterweights. Ortiz was the next best welterweight behind he and Pac.

Ironically, Mayweather was crucified for fighting the jr welterweight and lightweight champions in consecutive fights. Now, Pac is fighting the lightweight champ and if Uncle Bob has his way, his next fight will be against the jr welterweight champ. I'm just saying.

While Ortiz "looked good" at his WW fight with Berto, he was not the next best WW behind May and Manny. Hatton was also venturing into 147, not his champion 140 wt.

Floyd has quite the list of WW he should have fought dating back what +5 years ago. Everyone of them- they had the issues not Floyd on why fights were not made. Im just saying.

Either cheapshotting a young dumb gun like Ortiz or chasing a smaller dinosaur like Morles only confirms what chicken Floyd really is!!!! lol

Can't wait to read the ***** threads defending their hero! lol

Really. Exactly who should he have fought that he didn't?

Cotto? He tried at 140. Arum said he was "too green" while simultaneuosly promoting the boriqua as the WBO jr welterweight champ. That's right, Mayweather was supposed to fight him when it was convienient for Cotto.

Margarito? Mayweather instead opted for the universally recognized champ in Baldomir. As I remember it, after beating Cotto, Margarito was caught trying to stuff bricks in his gloves and a few hours later, was beaten to a pulp by Mosley. Mosley fought the winner of that fight. Now I know in Pacland fighting guys coming off loses is stuff od legends. But here on Earth, most people prefer their champions fighting guys in the winner's bracket.

Anyone else?

I hope this is a lie. I already gott cheated out of my money from the last Mayweather fight.

So why won't they let HBO make an official announcement regarding the PPV buys, like what HBO has been doing for years.

Why do you think there's article like this in the net:


And remember how Golden Boy announced how Hopkins-Dawson :
Golden Boy quoted a buy rate of “well under 100,000.?/span>
In response Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports tweeted the number he had heard?40,000.

Why there is no OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS from HBO for the MAYWEATHER/ORTIZ and HOPKINS/DAWSON fights?

Spin Cotto, Marg, and Mosley how you like bro. They all have issues I know.

The main thing is Floyd never fought them, with Mosley's inactivity + 2 camps that just creates more questions.
Yeah, I heard Floyd and his *****s were winners. Congratulations.

So who is Floyd fighting next? It's obviously not Pacquiao.

wouldnt make sense for the fraud to secure the mgm grand for may 5th/cincodemayo (sp) against a non hispanic/mexican...totally out of whack...but now that arum has enough evidence about morales being the frauds next fight on may 5th, that would only make sense to me...any fighter of the mexican decent makes more sense than against pacq on a may 5th.

[Mr. Invincible]

OMFG, I hope this isn't true. If it is, how are the Floyd fans going to explain this one? Lol. I would like to see them try. Morales has no business being in the ring with Marquez, much less Mayweather.
