When Mayweather Retires, so does Boxing?

Published by:

            The proof is in Mayweather's paychecks. Why would a whole corporate-owned conglomerate pay just one athlete a great deal money? That's simple. Period, it is because "Prettyboy" Floyd "Money" Mayweather is boxing's sole saviour. hand, charisma and Style speed never blended very well.<br /><br />Once Mayweather retires which is why they offered Floyd such a huge contract rumor has it that Showtime is considering a decrease in business. Showtime's bid for Floyd was pretty sweet. It guarantees the absolute minimum $32 million per fight. Each party consented to a 6-fight deal. All fights must occur in a 36 month (3 year) period.<br /><br />Hidden from the public are the stimulative agreements withstanding should Floyd retire, get knocked out or otherwise fail to fulfill the contract clause. Is that an intelligent move for Showtime? You bet. Especially since its main competitor and rival HBO has recently lost its one-man boxing franchise. Perhaps Mayweather Jr. himself said it best, "I box for the money, belts just collect dust ultimately."<br /><br />Doubt him if you will but the entire sports community will shatter upon this one man's departure of the sport that he so devoted his entire life. Greatness is alike. So the idea of Floyd's lasting retirement only stirs thoughts remnant of Michael Jordan. He's secured his legacy inside the boxing ring many times over for quite some time undoubtedly.<br /><br /><br />I know you can wait for Floyd Mayweather vs Marcos Maidana match this September, buy tickets now and watch them live from MGM Grand.

The Undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr on May 3

Published by:

            Floyd Mayweather Jr. is unquestionably the smartest technical fighter to have fought. Instinctively he possesses otherworldly ability and talent. A current undefeated professional record backs which claim. The entire world is at his feet whenever he is in that ring. All opponents which have come before him have fallen short, or as Mayweather himself states:<br /><br />"Many tried but all have failed. There is not any blueprint concerning how to beat Floyd Mayweather, period."<br /><br />Fortunately for Mayweather this might continue true. Lacking raw talent rarely sprung from today's top contenders in the welterweight, lightweight and junior middleweight divisions requires a fix. Those who hold undefeated career records are generally because of substantial engagements as to what fans reference as "tune-up" bouts. For a lot of Mayweather's boxing career fighter's careers have already been solely based around remaining undefeated.<br /><br />Smaller weight class fighters have already been very selective when selecting their opponents. For a loss would more than likely ruin their likelihood of a match with Mayweather Jr. since they advance the ladder of distinguishable weight divisions? It's no fluke. He's the most effective. At some point one must give approach to the much too frequent mentioning of admiration from top 10 mainstream music artists and A-list celebratory figures.<br /><br />Watch Mayweather vs Maidana this coming May 3 at MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.<br />
