Floyd Mayweather Inteview with Jim Gray

[Slick_Rick]

Well those fans continually paid to watch him. And he's considered the best of his era. And he beat Pacquiao.

Well based on averages, i would say 1m pay to watch him solely, and will continue to do so after this fight

His fight with Canelo, did about 2.4m irrc, that increase was brought by fans of Canelo and people who thought he might lose.

Manny brings about 800k solely (fights in US) The rest of the audience were probably made up of wanting to see Floyd lose & just being involved in the spectacle and had no interest who won or lost, something a World Cup final brings

Sooo...Mayweather is the highest paid and best of his era.

You should go with them and take your ignorant "larrys" with you, in fact kill your selfs the world would be a better place with both of you groupies dead

Yes, my son. The butthurt is flowing.

So much ifs and buts...If you just base it on names and not when they were fought, other than Manny and Oscar, there is no one on Floyds resume that come close to Jones, Hopkins or Eubank.

As for Canelo, not convinced by him at all. Again its another shoulda, woulda, coulda, argument. Floyd fought him at a catchweight, why? its only bring down his win.

LOL, Eubanks was a good win, but hardly in the level of Cotto, JMM, or Mosely as a name in history. And Callaghe gets credit for Jones an B Hop even in their 40s, but Floyd fought a 34 year old Oscar and a 35 year old Mosely.

You simply cannot find holes in Floyd's resume anymore. He's proven himsel over and over against the best.

Now people are saying Canelo was too green in his 43rd professional and 10th title fight. He can't win with the haters, but their voices are fading fast now.

The fact we're talking about how Floyd might fare vs past greats tells you everything. He's the only fighter were wondering how he might do vs past greats.

No one is wondering how Pacquiao might have done vs Leonard, Hagler, or Hearns. The reason is obvious. Only the best get compared to the legends.

Bingo.

Yeah, He's upset....

Are you seriously trying to compare Calzaghe's resume to "Fighter of the era" Floyd's in any way, shape or form? Laughable.

i find it ironic mayweather saying "excuses excuses excuses" lol...he couldnt WAIT to say that haha

*sigh*, don't just scan what i said, reread it, and if you cant understand, trying rereading again...

I knew, i would get into some silly discussion. You go back and reread what i said as well.

Regarding just historical names, and not actual calibre of win, yeah i would put Eubank there.

His biggest error was not going to the US in his peak. If he had fights like against Benn, with persona, he would have been a star in the US. I have no doubt him and Naz were were great influence on Floyd and his out of ring persona. In the ring Eubank, had that influence on Naz

Sooo...Mayweather is the highest paid and best of his era.

Yeah....and you don't get a single penny
