I feel bad for the Floyd Mayweather haters

[SweetPea]

And on another note, no Floyd fan should care how much money Cotto brings to the table. The "they want to see Floyd fight Cotto eventually, but he does not bring enough money now" makes no sense at all. Why should they care how much Mayweather is getting paid?

I don't care how much Floyd is getting paid. But I'm also realistic and I understand how the sport of boxing works. And since I know how the sport works, I know that Floyd (like any fighter) is going to fight the guy who brings the biggest paycheck.

You can sit around and say that it's stupid and that Floyd should just fight the guys who you want him to fight, but you're living in a dream world. That's not how the business of boxing works.

If it was my choice, Floyd would be fighting Cotto in September instead of rematching Oscar. But I'm intelligent enough to realize that money talks.

It's real simple............


Cotto doesn't bring enough to the table, while Oscar DelaHoya gave Floyd his 2nd toughest fight ever (JLC 1 was the first) AND made Mayweather by far the most money in his career, many people (admittedly those who don't watch much boxing and opted to get caught up in the Cinco De Mayo hype) thought that Oscar won the fight.

Cotto will fight the winner of Margarito VS. Cintron...... PERIOD! (Because Margarito and Cotto are both Top Rank fighters)

If and when Cotto beats the winner of the Margarito/Cintron fight (personally, I think he will) his next fight will be against Mayweather. IF Mayweather opts to fight a lesser opponent for LESS MONEY, only then will the haters have a remotely valid argument.

Until then............................... the haters (the same ones who actually said that Mayweather was scared of Margarito, Williams, etc. etc.) are just blowing their usual hating smoke.
