Official Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Marcos Maidana Thread. May 3rd, 2014.

[proshares]

His first fight at welter? If his resume since then does not impress, then you're one in a million.

Idk if you're talking about Maidana or Alexander but whenever I see Maidana I just think of that fight lol. They both have good resumes tho, I just can't see a way he beats Mayweather

Oh I meant Maidana's resume after the Alexander fight but I agree, I don't see a way he wins more than a round.

HEATHEN As much as I clown on Khan and his chin he does have to get some respect for standing in there and showing heart (does need to learn to back down occasionally). But I'll still stand on the side that the ref let that fight go on way too long rather than say Khan took those shots well. He may not have gone down but he was out on his feet during the round.

I can't even talk about that fight without getting upset

 

[HEATHEN]

He was def out on his feet in that round but he came back and finished strong in the 12th.


Fight was def polarizing for fight-fans, but I think we can all agree it was one helluva fight. I wouldn't mind seeing Khan and Maidana go at it again at some point in the future.

Showtime is so smart with the marketing. They are making maidana seem like he could take down money lmao they always do this specially when they did the show with Floyd and Ghost

 

[aepps20]

Khan has a great chin. Apparently Khan was taking shots from Ward and Angulo in sparring but unfortunately they don't remember.







Lol just in case people don't get the sarcasm

Where are the DMV folks watching this fight at?

 

[iamjusayn]

What time does the main event usually start? I'm hoping it's no earlier than 8p.

 

[ohmygosher]

Close to midnight on the east coast.

 

[kb8 3qwick]

Ppv main events nowadays start almost at midnight.

 

[finallyfamous]

12:15AM ET is my guess.

Khan's purse being as much as Maidana's.

 

[mr marcus]

wow only 1.5 mil? sheesh....fighter won't even see half that 

contemplating calling outta work to watch the fight......not sure yet though 

exact reason I hate these 6 week schedules we're on because I always schedule a Saturday that something is going on 

 

[bless]

Yeah, Marcos definitely got the short end of the stick, especially when you consider Robert Guerrero made $3 million when he fought Floyd. It's not like he's getting any of the PPV revenue either.

 

[blastercombo]

Meh, you wanna fight the top dog? You getting scraps

Insane at the distance money may has over everyone else lol and thats not even counting the money he'll get after the fight smh.

Might watch this in the movie theatres

 

[doublemesh96]

Chino talkin about he had a tough round sparring with mikey Garcia and he's gonna beat Floyd?

You can probably catch a replay when you get off of work. I'm not expecting much from this card and I don't think I'll even watch it. Khan/Collazo could get interesting, Broner/Molina is whatever, and Mayweather/Maidana will be as exciting as Pacquiao/Rios.

 

[andoneflip]

Easy win for money may

True I might just avoid social media that night and watch the whole card on Sunday. I know mayweather will win off gate but the others will still be fresh I guess

reports say marcos purse is lower because he is getting a share of the PPV.

just wait till we see what broner is getting

 

[doublemesh96]

"come right back like I'm A broner...come right back like I'm A broner"

Thanks

To the casual boxing fans don't just watch the Floyd Mayweather vs Marcos Maidana fight but the undercard should be entertaining maybe even more so than the main event.

Khan vs Collazo should be good. I hope Collazo knocks out Khan.

Also Adrien Broner returns...

Showtime PPV > HBO PPV

It doesn't matter how little they get paid

it's the chance to beat the undefeated. If/once that happens the game changes completely.

 

[GTA 809]

And for most it's still their biggest payday.
It's a great purse, it's just small in comparison.
