I typed in google "Floyd Mayweather" and this article popped up.

Sorry what did you tell me?

Just read through all your posts the last couple pages and in none of them did you say "Mayweather won't really fight this guy" so I have no clue what you're on about.

Mayweather pulling out of the fight has nothing to do with being excited about the fight when it was first announced.

To say "I told you so" in this context would mean you predicted this fight wasn't going to happen.

Funniest thing, the mans on a table podium having photo's with a Kickboxer knowing damn well how it would be taken.
Then he has the nerve to feed us this BS line saying "I only agreed to a closed exhibition bout for a few wealthy spectators, I didn't agree to a full on fight" I mean really, I know he thinks his fans are gullible but this is low even for him.

Basically he was going to do it, then he realised he couldn't fix the rules to allow him to win and so slowly backed out of the room.

........... I mean, what else was he doing in Japan sitting on a table with a mic in his face, having stare downs with a kickboxer??

And people wonder why I don't take this guy seriously anymore, the mans retired, leave it at that.

He beat Maidana twice just like he beat Castillo twice.

You know you're the best when people are desperate to attribute fake Ls to your name.

No one said he isn't the best, in all seriousness, lot of people think the maidana fight was a L, boxing is subjective at the end of the day, what the judges say isn't always gospel and it can Def be scrutinized when it comes to cashcows.

Maidana didn't outbox Floyd but he gave him massive trouble, he was relentless in roughing him up, was dirty and at times gave Floyd a pounding even if a lot of shots weren't clean, basically he nearly beat Floyd the only way anyone around his weight would be able to.

A lot of fighters like cotto tried to rough Floyd up but couldn't sustain it as well as maidana did on that night

Mayweather rematched him because he knew it was close at the least, just like Castillo, the fact he rematched them made adjustments from the off and won show his class.

Anyway he is now a circus act let's hope he stays retired

Mayweather is a circus act because he fought an amateur boxer in an exhibition match and made $300 million.

You call that being a clown, I call that the greatest legal heist in history.
