It'll be about like Oscar vs. Forbes.

Haymon n the gang will probably be able to convince some casual fans that Berto is a real threat.

Spot on hulkster. There is a lot of playing on that Reality tv motif in this thing. I really think Floyd is doing this for Al and to capture the tv audience as you point out.

I also think its a tricky fight. I again don't think it matters how Berto did in the past. He is a gifted fighter by way of born with speed and power. People get into a different mind set for Floyd. A mind set that seems to be lacking against others.. Maidana is a great example. I thought it would be a complete tar and feathering by Floyd.

I've always looked at Andre as Mosley 1.5 while attempting to be Shane reborn. Having said that, I think he's a fresher version then the Shane Floyd fought.

Remember this:

So Berto will be the answer to that trivia question.
I want to know who's going to be number 50?

This is starting to get a little Tyson/Douglas feel

Yea I get the feeling it's going to be berto seen a interview last night on YouTube it was a few years old and floyd was saying that he really wanted to beat berto up. I got the feeling floyd didn't like him.

Feelings are indeed mutual from Bertos side. Some odd history between them with the phone calls and stuff. I think Berto juices so I think Floyds random demands cut his chances lol

Khan said on twitter he's heard its Mayweather vs. Berto. Khan & Berto have same trainer so looks like its probably true.

A joke fight. I can rmember thinking after Berto's last fight that he looked like roadkill for any world level welter. I think it'll be like Floyd-Gatti. Floyd will go for a KO in front of a huge audience to set up another Manny moneyfest either next May or September.

How come Floyd is not fighting ppv when he has a contract with Showtime?
Berto is an embarrassing choice as he is shot to peaces and was regarded as Thurman is now.

Khan will be pissed now but he will have to fight someone good like Brooks or Bradley or Thurman now.

Admittedly not the most reliable source, but where there's smoke there's (sometimes) fire.
Assuming this goes off, it should be an easy $30 mil at the very least, and while Berto didn't exactly live up to expectations, he's still a pretty quality fighter.

Back of the net.

Completely agree..the fact that bradley has been overlooked is pathetic.

As much as I want floyd to fight khan I still feel that khan should be ignored so he is forced to fight a brook or garcia 2

I think everyone thinks Bradley is the best choice, but he's with Arum and since Top Rank is suing Al Haymon, I think we all know that politics get in the way of that fight happening.

Yeah I didn't even consider Bradley. Arum and Haymon came together for Floyd/Pac to make mega millions, but I doubt they'd do business for Bradley.

I like bradley.

He even called out GGG.

Won't see ggg doing that with ward.

Floyd can do what he wants at this stage but at least end with a bang.

Might get his first KO in 100 years.

Just to be clear... So everyone pays 100 bucks to watch him talk copious amounts of crap leading up to a customized (all his demands met) fight with Pacquiao so he could throw punches from his bike; But now he'll fight like the version of mayweather that fought maidana, cotto, alvarez again so we can watch him wipe his @$$ with Berto for free?

Perfecting the art of Bait and switch... Maybe we'll get lucky and there will be a fight on the undercard.
