Mayweather needs to fight Lara..Bottom line..

[Rome-By-Ko]

Being the biggest Bradley fan, it hurts me to see Bradley talk about Floyd as he is a superior being, just look at the videos.

Pacquiao? Nah.

Lara is the only fight on this list that I believe Floyd is avoiding.

Ward talks the same way..Everyone should have respect for Floyd..He's a great fighter and a living legend..

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Just like any other PPV he can make a bit more off the PPV revenue..That does not change the fact that he makes 40mill..Maidana is not making him anymore revenue then Lara would..Neither are Cotto or Alvarez kinda draws..So this point is moot..Once again,your an idiot grasping at straws..Now please stfu..

A bit more? Looool. He made upwards of $80m in total from the Canelo fight.

Maidana just came off a high profile win over Broner who was considered the "Next Mayweather" by the press. He's an Argentine power puncher who knocks people out. He has plenty of Mexican fans and had a huge crowd for his last fight.

Lara is a boxer. He's a black Cuban who doesn't speak English. He has virtually no fanbase or marketability. What is his story? No one cares.

You can't be so ****** as to think they have the same level or marketability. Surely not?

No, Bradley is in this mans weight class and talks about him no different than Adrien Broner talks about Floyd, why would someone want to see Bradley Vs Floyd, when it's clear Bradley doesn't think he could beat him?

Yea Maidana is so highly marketable that he loss a poll to a guy who has Done Nothing In Over Two Yrs!!!!!!Oh god,sure..

I don't know why ya would bring up Alvarez for??Are either of these two fighters,hell even three fighters(Khan was in the running as well)on the level of Alvarez in the draw department..Answer would be no..So again ya point is moot..

[The Big Dunn]

I don't believe Maidana Mayweather projected selling over 1.5 mill..Who is Maidana bro..The dude who just loss a poll to Khan,a dude who has done nothing in over 2 yrs..I think your reaching again bro..

Now here comes the conspiracy..I could not want to see Floyd fight Lara cause I by PPV and wanna see the best fighting the best..It has to be cause I have to find a way to down play Mayweather..Come on now..This is really reaching..

How am I ignoring anything??Does Floyd not get paid 40mill a fight??Would he not make that fighting Lara Madana Guerrero Ortiz Bradley Garcia etc etc??Then what the hell am I missing..BTW how much was Mayweather Guerrero projected to sell??Just curious..

Rome-selling huge is why he fights JMW, not ww's. SO wheteher Maidana will sell that much woud not be a factor since floyd woudn't be moving up in weight.

I never said or implied you are trying to downplay floyd. Your only defense in this thread has been to avoid the specific points posters are making and then comment on what you assume to be the underlying reason for disagreeing with you. How about you just deal with what was posted?

You are ignoring the reason why floyd fought at JMW 3 times. No, he doesn't. He has a guaantee for each fight, and then he makes additional money of PPV sales and sales of other things (concessions, movie tickets, etc.) connected to the fight. His gusrantee is based on who he fights-thats why Ghost was $30 mil and Caneo was $40 mil.

Probably 1 mil. Of course Ghost was a ww, so the projection was not a factor as it woud be fo a JMW fight.

If you are serious about the best fighting the best, why haven't you suggested floyd fight Tim, the best ww other than floyd, and instead campaign for Lara? Is it that you feel floyd is a JMW now?

Yea Maidana is so highly marketable that he loss a poll to a guy who has Done Nothing In Over Two Yrs!!!!!!Oh god,sure..

That's because Khan is a bigger name worldwide than Maidana.

No one knows who the *** Erislandy Lara is outside of hardcore boxing fans. I can't actually believe a person can be this ignorant. I want to say you're trolling but it is YOU

The reason for me making the thread is cause I respect Floyd and want to pay to see him in fights where the outcome is not something I can see playing out in my head..Like his fights with Hoya Mosley JLC(1 and 2)Hernandez(one of my fav performances)Chavez(when he was young)..Lately May has taken some real soft touches bro,you can not deny this..This Maidana fight is another one..A guy who is playing from behind the 8ball..

Floyd won a belt at JMW more then 3 times..Yes I believe he can fight there and be effective there..I'm not calling for Tim to fight Mayweather cause like you said,Tim stayed with TR..So why call for something so unrealistic..Do you see me in any Mayweather Pac threads at all??No,not at least until that fight has a real shot at being made..I can care less..Here this fight can be made..It's the best fight that can be made for May on the GBP stable..

I'm a believer in a good fight sells it self(with the right promotion of course lol)I believe this fight will sell..I understand Floyd makes money on the side from concession movie tickets etc etc..He could still make that with Lara..I just feel a good fight is a good fight..I also don't see why this fight could not happen..There is no legit reason bro..

[Juof]

I think it would be close with floyd edging it

So if we let the worldwide public choose Floyds next opponent he would have been fighting Khan..Yet that's not who he's fighting..Ya know why it's a joke of a fight(would have made more money tho)..May was able to his foot down on that and choose a better opponent..Yet when met with the option of Lara and Maidana..Nothing,no foot down..Yet I'm the one who is ignorant and you can't even understand the point being made within the thread..For ****ks sake...This guy is just ******..Helps me make my point..

[BigZigga]

Floyd is a better boxer than Lara. I think people on NSB overrated that guy. His work rate isn't high enough to win a decision against Floyd. I just can't see him winning the fight and it would be an awful fight anyway. You think if Carlos Molina was able to outbox Lara, the best boxer at 154 wouldn't be able to?
