Comments Thread For: Maidana Confirms Mayweather Rematch Talks Underway

[Bronx2245]

First Off... Like Mayweather says 'NUMBERS DON'T LIE'.. OK In that case PACQUAIO IS THE PPV KING.. HERE ARE THE PPV MONEY GENERATED IN THEIR WHOLE CAREERS TO DATE.... Pacquiao PPV $13,260,000 Mayweather PPV $12,834,000 Let it also be known one of those PPV For Pacquiao is unaccounted for since it wasn't for HBO or SHOWTIME .. But it was a PPV (against Oscar Larios in 2006)... With that said...
FIGHTING THE BEST SHOULD BE FIGHTING SOMEONE THAT HAS THEIR OWN PPV STATUS LIKE "PACQUIAO"... BUT LOOK AT HiS LAST FIGHTS!!! NOBODY IS A PPV STAR.... NOT EVEN CANELO... THIS WAS CANELO'S FIRST PPV WHEN HE FOUGHT MAYWEATHER.... IF MAYWEATHER FIGHTS THE BEST HE WOULD BE FIGHTING A PPV STAR, AND THAT IS PACQUIAO....

BUT INSTEAD HE CHOOSES MAIDANA??? WHO WAS ON HIS WAY TO RETIRING 2 FIGHTS AGO... BEFORE HE FOUGHT BRONER AND LOPEZ??????
Not only that, the first time they fought, Mayweather had 5 months to prepare for Maidana, being that he knew Maidana was his opponent after the broner fight... He waited till the very end to tell Maidana he was the opponent so that way Maidana barely had 8 weeks to train for the fight... I mean come on.. If you have 5 months to prepare for a fight and the other guy has 2 months and you still can't wash him out of the ocean... enuff said EOF

"He's become one of the five greatest figures in pay-per-view history, along with, in alphabetical order, De La Hoya, Evander Holyfield, Mayweather and Mike Tyson.

It is Pacquiao's placement in the top five that is the most puzzling. Going into Saturday's bout, he is ranked fifth all-time with 12.2 million pay-per-view sales and is third all-time with $661 million in pay-per-view revenue.

Promoters are confident the bout will hit one million. With 890,000 buys, the same as he did for his controversial first match with Bradley in 2012, Pacquiao will move to third in total sales with 12.8 million buys and will move into second past De La Hoya and behind only Mayweather with $700 million in PPV revenues.

Mayweather, whose bouts against Canelo Alvarez in 2013 and De La Hoya in 2007 are 1-2 all-time in revenue and 2-1 in sales, has generated $756.5 million in pay-per-view revenues."



NOTE: FYI, Pacquiao didn't quite get the 890,000 in Bradley rematch.

Man of his words? This is business for Mayweather, he would have not taken Maidana again if he saw better opportunity.

Castillo beat Floyd so why are people still perpetrating this 40 whatever number have tried and none have succeeded nonsense lol. Floyd is TBE (The Best Elbower)

Maidana already won the first fight with pillows for gloves... I see there being no way Floyd lets him use the gloves this time...If you think gloves don't matter get a clue...ask Morales how Pac's punches felt in the rematch compared to the first fight when he was wearing Winning pillows...

Maidana KOs Mayweather with the MX gloves.. and it's Roy Jones all over again...

If Maidana wears the pillows, we get a repeat of the first fight..Mayweather gets the Vegas judges to give him a wide-decision he doesn't deserve.

[The Big Dunn]

So this fight is BS even though you think that Maidana won the first one? You want Floyd to challenge somebody out of his comfort level yet the guy who you think beat him isn't acceptable?

Goodness, who knew original on a keyboard hits like Tyson in his prime.

Fight is bs...maidana won the first one. Wouldve rather seen floyd step it up and challenge someone out of his comfort level

If you believe Maidana won the first fight, wouldn't the rematch be an example of Floyd "stepping it up and challenging someone out of his comfort level?" I'm just sayin'.

[SlySlickSmooth]

Floyd should just fight Manny, while in meantime the top 147 and top 154(if he holds the title) duke it out then Floyd fights them for the last fights.

[Snake4380]

If Floyd let's Maidana wear the gloves, I'm all for the rematch js... However...

If there is a "Pillows-for-gloves clause in the contract," then I'm sorry...I'm not into the fight...

Floyd's options for September 13, 2014:

1. Maidana
2. Carlos Molina
3. Ghost Guerrero (Rematch)

Or 4. Mayweather can crawl to Bob Arum, hat in hand, and beg for the Pacquiao fight so that he can revive his career after that Maidana debacle....

[WesleySnipes]

didnt know that if a boxer can use his own gloves that he gets some ATG reflexes, speed, power, defense etc and will fight totally different....seems to be the case with this one according to NSB posters

Bradley lost to Manny and Ruslan, yet after the rematch people were acting like Manny beat a P4P all-time great fighter. Bradley still believes he won the first fight! Marquez doesn't think he lost any fights to Pacquiao. Everyone has an opinion, and everyone has a record. Only Mayweather is the undefeated, undisputed, welterweight champion of the world. Maybe Maidana can change all that? Just like Castillo, he's getting his chance...immediately.

How bout standard industry sized gloves this time huh Floyd? No more pillows.
