When you engage in debates and resort to personal insults, it’s a sign that you’ve already “lost.”lazboy wrote:A narrow minded person, how very irritating.
All you’ve done is articulated several meaningless soundbites, since everything you’ve said applies to all fights.lazboy wrote:It’s time to think outside the box. Think supply and demand. Think marketing. Think the effectiveness of marketing, whose job it is to create interest. “There’s no fiscal reason for Mayweather to face GGG” The creative side of your brain needs enlightening!
From a fiscal perspective, the answer to that question is “YES”.lazboy wrote:Is it “utterly absurd”, with an exclamation mark for this fight to be considered?
This is actually irrelevant, since the circumstances are completely different. If Money May decides to fight again, he’ll be forty years of age… and he’ll be much smaller than Golovkin. If “size” wasn’t an issue, why did Team GGG claim that they’d only face Ward at 164lbs?lazboy wrote:Was Sugar Ray Leonard utterly absurd for facing Marvin Hagler in a classic super fight. I find this to be the most relevant.
Also, I am simply arguing against your original claim about Golovkin being Mayweather's most lucrative opponent, which is absurd and has no correlation to your Leonard-Hagler scenario.
I ignore things that are irrelevant. You previously argued that GGG would be the “most lucrative” opponent for Mayweather Jr, when this is clearly not the case. Floyd is able to face men his own size that present less risk, but also provide better paydays than what GGG could. For Khan and Brook, they couldn’t have earned those paydays facing anyone else.lazboy wrote:Yet you have ignored this and other more recent examples plainly in view. Was it absurd when Kell Brook fought Gennady Golovkin? Was it absurd when Amir Khan fought Canelo Alvarez. Both the most popular fights of 2016 as you well know.
More insults, which is music to my ears, due to the fact that it’s easier to undermine someone who argues with emotion rather than facts.lazboy wrote:Perhaps in your haste to be heard you can be excused some misgivings.
You’re entitled to have an opinion… and it is also your prerogative for that opinion to bear no relation to reality.lazboy wrote:In my opinion, and this is an opinion piece, this is the best fight for Mayweather money wise if it has a rematch clause.
For the record, I believe that a GGG-Mayweather fight would be sure fire commercial success and a massive PPV event. However, as per my original statement, Floyd is capable of earning more money by facing easier and less threatening opponents.
Mayweather Jr. will be forty years of age in a few months, he’s been a professional for more than twenty years and he is entitled to gain the “50-0” record by sharing the ring against a beatable marquee name that is his own size, whilst supplying a bigger payday than what he could earn facing Golovkin.
It seems that you’ve either misunderstood my post or you are trying to employ straw man debating tactics, by misrepresenting my claims to make it easier for you to attack. So which one is it?lazboy wrote:As for your comment regarding Mayweather fighting Tyson Fury, don’t be absurd!
