Looks like this one is a go. Am I the only one interested in the rematch? I've seen a lot of naysayers, but I hope it will be similar to the first match. I fully expect Mayweather to win, but I like the style he showed last time. I'm also happy that Maidana gets another good payday - he deserves it for the entertainment he's given over his career. Thoughts?
He also deserves it because he gave Floyd all he could handle in their first fight. That must be a requisite for making rematches. If you've been schooled, blown out, totally outclassed..... what's the point in a rematch. I'd definitely watch a Floyd-Maidana rematch.
It was great to see Floyd roughed up like that. It was also great watching PBF adjust and start throwing some serious punches. Everyone expects Floyd to make the usual adjustments and make this one a one-sided affair, a la Castillo II, but I still think Maidana is a very live opponent.
Maidana's performance indicates he deserves a rematch, however i expect a shut out this time...PBF won't be so slack next time around.
I'm still wondering - like a lot of people, I guess - why Floyd was slack the first time. Was it Floyd's age catching up to him? Maidana's aggression? Money wanting to give an exciting show? Combinations of these? I think this next fight will have some interesting answers. I still don't like the Mayweather persona, but damn - the dude can box.Quote:

He actually did rough him up, inside, outside early on and out jabbed the shit outta him in the 8th if I remember right. Floyd adjusted and had a helluva fight. Bcollins gave him full props why don't you try it once in awhileQuote:

Why don't you visit reality for once in a while.
Maidana was swinging at air like a washerwoman...if you call that roughing him up then yes....he roughed him up plenty.
What did you score it while we're at it..or are ya still behind as far as Mayweather fights since Castillo and all ???Quote:

"Roughed up" is not equivalent to "landed copious amounts of clean punches." Since you seem to have trouble understanding basic concepts, I'll elaborate. During the first few rounds, Maidana pushed Floyd to the ropes and threw a high volume of punches at Floyd. Since hitting Floyd clean is like trying to carry water with a fork, the idea is to hit any available surface. Maidana was very successful early on with this tactic. Many boxing fans believe this is one tactic that may prove fruitful against PBF, and Maidana had more success than most applying the tactic. Your examples of Cotto and Augustus are well noted, but not quite the same as brute roughing up. Augustus is awkward, and Cotto was a little more precise and measured in this approach. Maidana swung for the fences, and it was fun to watch.
I would guess 120-108 Mayweather, since Maidana was swinging at air.Quote:

I expect a shutout this time. I scored the 1st fight 9 rounds to 3 for floyd I don't think the fight was that close. Throwing a shit load of punches and hitting nothing don't win rounds !

With all the fights out there for Floyd, is this the one you want most? The bottom line is that I'm not very excited about the fall PPVs.
none of those guys have big enough names to make Floyd the money he wants the reason for the rematch is cause it'd currently make the most money for him outside of PacquiaoQuote:

I'm still excited for Maidana. He put on a good show and flat out went after Floyd last time. He lost, but it was fun while it lasted. And I love to see someone push Floyd out of the potshot zone. When he sits down and starts throwing for real, it's a thing of beauty.
Maidana is not the person to beat Floyd it would be more interesting to watch him against Thurman.Quote:

Hey folks, they've released the official poster of Mayweather vs. Maidana 2 dubbed as "Mayhem".
What you think?
Lots of alliteration!Quote:

Not really to interested in seeing a rematch, I would be shocked if Maidana wins more than 2 rds. I fully expect Floyd to pitch a shutout this time.
Why not Pac vs Thurman???;DQuote:

I honestly believe that Floyd could have dealt with maidana how ever he wanted to in the first fight
I think he wanted to make it an entertaining fight
I think this time it will be the shut out everyone expected it to be the first time
maidanas win over broner was very well timed, just as there seemed to be noone left to challenge mayweather below middleweight, and as a result it has made maidana and Floyd a lot of money
and lets be honest, broner was there for the taking by a full blown welterweight
Not me, I definitely want to see them fight again!Quote:

It's possible, maybe even likely, but Robert Garcia and Maidana aren't coming back just for the money. They want to win and think they can win, so they are not going to be setting around, sucking on lollipops, and waiting to count their money.
Honor..Glory..Heritage..Legacy..and Huge Paydays
i wish Floyd would fight someone else. Mainly because I don't see the rematch being that difficult for Mr. Mayweather
Mayweather'll probably pick Porter after Maidana because Porter is made to order for Mayweather.
Dude comes in with wide, looping shots, can't throw straight ones to save his life, he's not particularly fast, not a hard puncher, and leaves so many openings to both head and body that Floyd would be slipping counters through effortlessly, countering this guy all night long. The positives are that he's a young, prime fighter with good conditioning, stamina, and durability. Decent name on the resume, for a relatively easy fight.
Floyd wont be picking Porter coming off a a whooping to Kell Brook.
All I thought throughout Maidana-Floyd 1 was that Duran would have killed him.
Apparently the PPV numbers were really poor so they obviously think Maidana roughing him up a bit will reverse that.
Brook ain't whooping shit...he's too soft.Quote:

Floyd is the PPV daddy without doubt. No-one else would do better numbers with Maidana. However, Floyd's PPV appeal has been dwindling, with the exception of the Canelo fight, because he needs the right opponents. Guerrero and Maidana both failed so bad - by Floyd's standard - that Showtime refuse to release an offical figure (which they were more than happy to do almost instantly for the Canelo success).
So all my point is - they must be confident the first fight did enough to make the rematch a PPV success. That's all.
As for Porter-Brook, once Kell has ironed him out, I expect all the fans cheering for Porter as a Floyd opponent will do the same for Brook.
Any1 know what this big surprise in May is going to be ? It's got to be pacman nothing else would be considered big ?
