    Floyd Mayweather doesn't deserve every penny. For fighting Ortiz? For figting Cotto half a decade past his sell by date? Floyd is canny, but he isn't value for money in the slightest. I hope he ends up like Holyfield. That would teach him for conning the public into these stupid fights. KO by sucker punch? Pathetic. He should have had his pay docked for that nonsense.

    He isn't looking all that great at all these days.

    I do hate Floyd but you have to admire his skills. He took Cotto on at his weight with no catch weight so he gets my respect for that performance.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I kind of agree with you but you forogt all the positive things he bring to boxing!

    For example, Just bein the number one paid athletic gives boxing millions of viewers.
    I'm not a fan as I said earlier but Floyd might get the same reputation as sugar ray Leonard...
    Man i get alot of haters on me now, but for real nobody really knows!

    Regards. Xweetie

    He is the best boxer you have seen? Floyd was very good at the smaller weights, but for years now he has been picking and choosing and ducking and diving. The man is a fraud. You cannot say someone is the best you have ever seen if he doesn't play the game and Floyd doesn't play the game, he does it his way and it all about money rather than greatness. Hatton at WW, overweight against Marquez, Ortiz suckerpunch, Cotto close, DLH occasional pot shot and run, the Manny run around. It's a nonsense really. That's the best you have ever seen? He is not all that and he is half shot and knows it.

    Also yea mayweathers on the slide now but even an 80% mayweather is still way to much for anyone in boxing right now.

    I agree that was a sucker punch, Mayweather showed how ruthless he can be and as a fighter although i consider him an amazing talent I lost some respect for him that fight as a fighter. There was no need to do that, Ortiz was right in front of him and it was obvious he wasn't ready. Cortez didn't help matters but no surprise there. I understand during a fight a boxer will have a lot going through his head but Mayweather is experienced enough that he could have let the fight get going. He wanted an early night, I still think Ortiz at his best could have caused Mayweather problems bullying him against the ropes and rushing him but as the saying goes rules are rules and Mayweaher got away with it. Ortiz was stupid to put the nut in, he wasted an opportunity of a lifetime. I was just disappointed with it all more than anything and i'm sure it's the same for most.

    As for the crazy amount of money he earned, can't really knock it. I wouldn't say no, I doubt any of his family will have to work again for a long, long time and who wouldn't like to be in a position to take advantage of that opportunity. As long as people go to these events and PPV does well athletes will always earn ridiculous amounts of money.

    Hate on Floyd all you want, but its genuine superstars like him and Pacquaio who have carried boxing on their backs for the last few years. Boxing is in hard shape right now.

    Retard! There is a lot more to boxing than a semi retired muppet ducker.

    Floyd is retired! You must be in hibernation.

    No, I don't care about that. Maywether is a fraud because of what he does. I simply tell my truth.

    Those are some big purses, Mayweather had to beat a lot of women to get the one he wanted.

    :P
