Mayweather: "If Manny wants it, I'll pay Juan to step aside"

[bzkfn]

In my opinion, this was dumb for Floyd to say. He put more pressure on himself for the JMM fight now, assuming it goes through.. If he loses it will be that much more embarassing considering he's basically saying that JMM isn't even worthy of fighting him.

On the other hand, he did basically call Pac out straight up. Granted it's because of the money but he doesn't really ever call anyone out, and calling out the up-for-debate #1 P4P fighter has to give Floyd some credit, no?

He could have waited till after the Pacquiao-Hatton fight and done it, instead of signing to fight JMM. Alternatively, he could have done it after the JMM fight. I think with him referring to himself as 'the cash cow', the poor ticket sales have clearly dented his ego.

AS i said in my post, it's a complete insult.. not saying that the fashion he called him out was respectful, but simply the action of calling him out.. that's all.

No I knew what you meant. Its just I'm not sure he deserves credit for calling him out. He could have done that earlier, but i guess thats hindsight for you. Floyd should just stick to his guns and fight Marquez. It'll do a decent PPV number. I can't imagine boxing fans not wanting to watch Floyd fight.
