    Floyd Mayweather Keeps Changing His Reasons For Avoiding Manny Pacquiao

    There are two reasons that made Floyd Mayweather duck Manny Pacquiao for a few years before the fight stopped being relevant – the money was something Mayweather never wanted to settle on, and the fact that he was simply afraid to lose.

    When Manny Pacquiao steps into the ring with Brandon Rios, he won’t be fighting to impress. It’ll be about remaining relevant as a big-time, big-money PPV fighter, not to mention possibly resurrecting his career after two straight losses and one humiliating knockout against Juan Manuel Marquez.

    Gennady Golovkin Should Fight Sergio Martinez Next

    There aren’t that many big fights possible to make in the middleweight division, but there’s no doubt that best of them should be Gennady Golovkin, fresh of retaining his WBA and IBO titles against Matthew Macklin, fighting against the man regarded as the class of the division for the last few years, Sergio Martinez.

    While Adrien Broner didn’t knock out Paulie Malignaggi like he promised before his debut Welterweight fight, he certainly proved to be worthy of being referred to as the next big thing in boxing, winning through a split decision to claim his third title on his third weight class in the span of only 19 months.

  • Floyd Mayweather Needed Manny Pacquiao, Not Canelo Alvarez

    What could have been is no longer a question. Manny Pacquiao might never fight in the United States again, while Floyd Mayweather is headed towards the biggest fight, at least in terms of money, of the last few years, facing Canelo Alvarez which afterwards, if Mayweather wins his 45th career fight, it’s really going to get really boring.

  • Floyd Mayweather Has no Option But to Fight Canelo Alvarez

    Canelo wants the fight, and Floyd has never turned down an opponent. Those are the words uttered by Richard Schaefer, as Golden Boy Promotions has begun working on trying to bring the most lucrative possible fight in the world of boxing at the moment, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Saul Canelo Alvarez into the ring by September.

    It might be over for Manny Pacquiao and fights on American soil, but there’s plenty of money to be made elsewhere. For example, in Macau, well the Filipino legend will stage his next bout, hoping to end his two-fight losing streak, taking on the fast rising, also coming off a defeat, Brandon Rios.

    Like most Floyd Mayweather fights, this one was over before it began. Robert Guerrero talked well before the bout, but couldn’t even get close to the best boxer in the world, who won by a unanimous decision through all scorecards, retaining his WBC Welterweight belt, adding The Ring honor and most importantly, staying undefeated while keeping his place as the number one pound-4-pound fighter in the world.

  • Floyd Mayweather, Still Arrogant But Much Less Confident

    While the Robert Guerrero fight is Floyd Mayweather making his official comeback to the world of boxing, there seems to be something different this time. Not just the fact that he’s fighting on Showtime instead of HBO, but also because he inserted a rematch clause into the contract, meaning there’s a little less confidence than before, although the hunger for money is always there.

  • Suggesting Floyd Mayweather Fight Amir Khan is a Joke

    Suggesting Floyd Mayweather Fight Amir Khan is a Joke

    Two years ago, when Amir Khan beat Zab Judah to become the IBF and WBA Light Welterweight champion, it was reasonable to talk about him having a fight with Floyd Mayweather once he moved up to Welterweight. But almost two years have gone by, and the two fighters are in very different places, making the suggestions about a potential fight between them seem quite ridiculous.
