Well, it was a tune up to Pacquiao untill Manny shit his pants at the thought of drug testing. So he took on the same fighter that Manny is having to dust down as an opponent over a year later;D
Although I understand Manny's position in not giving in to Floyd's demand in the first negotiation, I had wished that he just called in the bluff for I really do not think that Mayweather wants to fight him. This was revealed in the second negotiation. What is Floyd's excuse in that negotiation ..... that he is going on vacation? THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO NEED FOR A TUNE-UP IF HE AGREED TO FIGHT THEN!!! Floyd scheduling a fight a few days before a Pacquiao fight gives him an excuse for people not to clamor that he fights Pacquiao.

Floyd will be lucky to sell 20000 tickets and the stadium will be look empty.
Floyds fights only sell well when he is faceing a well known big name.
proof of this?

Baldomir isn't a well known name and that fight sold fine,
Marquez barely sold 4,000 tickets for his fight with Katsidis and his fight with Mayweather sold out, so don't come with that little golden line of bullshit
Now Floyd is certainly a mega PPV draw, but for the live gate he hasn't sold out unless he had an elite "big name opponent" that is a live gate draw. I only know of two live gate sellouts for Mayweather and that is DLH and Mosley. I'm inclined to agree with the poster.
Quote:
The Floyd Mayweather-Juan Manuel Marquez fight at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas still are pending, but the live gate totaled $6,811,300, according to figures filed Thursday Sept. 24, 2009 by Golden Boy Promotions with the Nevada Athletic Commission.
The live gate was based on 12,009 tickets sold from a total of 13,116 distributed.

How many tuneups did Sugar Ray Leonard have before he fought Marvin Hagler ?

Mayweather Targets Miguel Cotto, Victor Ortiz for Tune-Up Fight ...
If Mayweather agreed to fight Pacquiao in the second negotiation instead of taking a vacation, then there would not have been a need for another tune-up.
You mean if Pac agreed to the test......

nope, he meant if floyd didn't ask for that f@cking test no one had asked of any fighter before. really, it's way too obvious now who is holding up this fight from happening. even most of floyd's followers are frustrated with their fighter. of course there are still those who have floyd's **** in front of their eyes who are too blind to see that. lol

Floyd needs to fight at least once a year just for the exposure and staying out of trouble.
