Don't see anything wrong with Mayweather taking him on. I believe it will be much more competitive than the oddsmakers (who have installed the champ as at least an 80-1 favorite) believe.
Berto has speed and power. If Mayweather comes in umotivated (and that's a real possibility since it comes just 4 months after the Fight of the Century and a $200 million payday) then it very well will shape up as an entertaining scrap.
Whatever the PPV price, it's worth it to have an opportunity to see an ATG like Mayweather in what may be his final fight.

biased people who are to bitter and cant watch a fight with a level head Yep... Poor choice of opponent as far as legacy and money are concerned. But, one that he can look very good in and possibly score a KO.Capricorn1 wrote:Mayweather wants an “entertaining fight” one where he can tee off, go on the offensive, look sensational and take risks with little worry - to keep up interest in his bouts before he goes for one more to surpass Rocky Marciano’s undefeated record of 49-0. An out-of-contract Mayweather can then name his price to fight a decent opponent on his terms. Berto becomes less of a contest, and more of a tune-up, to a record-breaking 50th win.
Mayweather is a master at marketing himself
The last time Marciano's unbeaten record was of any importance is when Larry Holmes 48-0 first fought Michael Spinks. It's more of a heavyweight boxing record than anything else.So you don't think that going for Marciano's record would enhance the PPV figures he would do for whatever fight he might have after this.
Seriously?

What I think is funny is how his loyal disciples feel the need to defend their kings honor for some reason.
It starts that the fight is fine because it's Floyd's last (does anyone believe that?).
Next that the fight is fine because it's on free TV (nope).
Next it's going to be fine because Floyd will be going for the KO (doubtful).
The sad life of a follower who tries to protect his dear hero's image
The fight is what it is; a crappy fight between the greatest of his generation and a random. But it doesn't matter because Floyd has built a body of work that is legitimate. He is old, past his best, and can fight whomever he wishes. He doesn't need sack swingers to verify that he's ok to proceed.
If not gargling with a fighters nut sweat is straddling the fence, then yes it is.Badhusker wrote:punchoutsb wrote:I've said before that Floyd can fight whomever he wants. He doesn't really *owe* his fans or anyone anything at this point.

I guess straddling the fence is the place to be.
Of course it is. Berto lost that belt over 4 years ago. He never beat anyone decent to get it in the first place, and his biggest title defense was against Juan Urango of all people.man wrote:the fight is not as bad as people claim it is.
berto was WBC champ for quite some time.
1) That says exactly nothing.this is a waaay better fight than wilder-fury

Imagine a Buster Douglas type of upset, you would see 100 new threads all about the same thing and how Floyd was overrated, exposed and beaten by a nobody, it would be worse than Tyson losing to Douglas.
500 threads started by Bnovelist, Cheap Ass, Ricky and the rest of the Floyd Lovers (sarcastic remark) on a never ending topic (Floyd losing).
