Define Desperate.
Now that Bob Arum’s Top Rank Promotions has sealed it’s mega bout at Dallas Cowboys Stadium between Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey. Everyone is very excited to see the “typhoon of the pacific” stepping in the ring for 2010. This has left Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaeferwondering if not losing there credibility as a promoter. GBP insist that they also have a fight of their own at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada on March 13th with Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. SOMEONE(still to be determined).
From TOP RANK PROMOTIONS: it is very clear that the Clottey/Pacquiao fight has already started to roll and it is not an easy fight for Pacquiao like what some fight fans think. Though the odds are simply higher for Pacquiao, this match is still highly anticipated if not the best fight for 2010. Joshua Clottey is one of the Top 10 great welterweights and has given Miguel Cotto a hard nut to crack from their last fight in June 2009.
From GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS: all the boxing hard core fans are still puzzled on “who’s the man?” that can stand a challenge against Floyd Mayweather Jr., or let me rephrase… “who’s the man?” that Floyd didn’t duck from the past but has given huge number of audience?
It’s certainly not Paulie Malignaggi, since most boxing hard core fans dub him as a boxer with “feather gloves” if not a floppy mouth..lol (imagine both fighters running around the ring). Nor Matthew Hatton since Richard Schaefer has already erased him earlier from the wish list . Of course, don’t even try mentioning names like Cotto, Antonio Margarito, Paul Williams or Sugar Shane Mosley, these names are still haunting Mayweather at night. lol.
My best pick, is Oscar De La Hoya Vs Mayweather Jr.. I have a few reasons as to why these two can still draw more fans:
1. GBP is on the brink of losing audiences because of the mess they just had with Pacquiao and Top Rank. This is the best way to reclaim credibility and PPV audiences. With Oscar De La Hoya’s draw and the split decision which left everyone arguing, this fight is still something that can draw attention if not huge. Imagine, OSCAR vs Mayweather II- THE WORLD AWAITS…..AGAIN.
2. Of all the great welterweights and middleweights alive..lol, Oscar De La Hoya is the only name that Floyd had no trouble sleeping at night. Lmao. Floyd has already proven that De La Hoya can’t pull the trigger with Floyd’s punch and run style. And, it’s never too late for Oscar to claim that he wants revenge against Maywether. Geez.
3. Last, they obviously broke the pay per view mark together. They can prolly do it again,who knows? Man I confess, I have paid dearly my hard earned money to watch the fight but I ended up falling asleep. LoL
I know that this may seem impossible with Oscar De La Hoya already retired, but who knows (please don’t flame me, I know that this sounds odd) how many fighters/athletes you’ve heard have proclaimed they have already retired and them came back for the love of the sport. lol

@Mark C. Calelero
All what I can say is that you are a Floyd hater and a moron.
Floyd beat Baldomir that beat Clottey and you have the audacity of saying is a fight that can replace the one involving the 2 best p4p? Please tell me in what planet you spend most of your time? Or maybe your IQ is in double digits.
Clottey was disqualified in the Baldomir fight for head butting in the later rounds. He was winning the fight in all the scorecards before that.
Clottey fought Margarito and went the distance losing in a decision.
Clottey went the distance with Cotto as well losing in another decision.
Despite the losses (which were close), he fought elite welterweights that Mayweather hasn’t.
I’m gay and I love floyd that is my excuse.
@Damian – where’d you got that information from pacturds gazette, obviously you are lying, and you are a stupid philipino.
I think Floyd should fight Ricky Hatton in UK instead.
Why would a site like nowboxing accept an article from a idiot like Mark C. Calelero? There(instead of their), LMAO, LOL, Prolly??? I don’t know about other people out there but I thought this was supposed to be an English article. Sorry Mark, but like Mayweather in boxing, you just blew your future as a writer. Might think of doing plumbing instead.
Medyo hahah I am laughing at this guy Mark as well. But Nowboxing.com said boxing fans can send in their opinion since its a boxing fans site but maybe they should put an age limit?
Mark please don’t send an article again how old are you 10?
Extra! Floyd agreed to drop all bullshit blood test and Pacquiao is now ready to fight. The fight is Floyd’s gift to the boxing world. According to karceno, an insider in GBP, Floyd will have the bigger share of the 85 to 15 pot for this big challenge of his comeback. Bobby Pacquiao will start training next week for this fight!

lol. good point.. i dont really see any great fighters that floyd can pick without having any trouble except dela Hoya, that is “IF” his coming out from retirement.
Who knows, its either floyd forgets march 13 or blew up another lightweight and fight them at weltherweight..lmao.
gogogo clottey/pac. floydfan be nice to admit that you all are losers.duckArtist.loudmouth baboons.lol joke.
guys just admit it,megafight was cancelled because of gayweather..if you look at gayweather’s trending..he choses his opponents wherein he is in he is guaranteed a victor. after all these years why he did not choose the welterweights giants like cotto because he knows that he will gonna lose the “0″ on his mark…i salute floyd he is so clever,nonetheless he is the undefeated one…but it not a shame if you lose as long as you did your best! admirable people are honored not because of their achievement but because of how they rose after they fall…
i remember that fight it was sometime last year.. i wont deny that the floyd/oscar fight was a real crowd drawer but they blew it.. i mean i cant really argue on who should have won. I mean, floyd didnt throw real hard punch that hurt oscar and oscar cant seem to catch floyd.
it should have been a draw… i should have watched the delayed telecast and spend the money somewhere else.
i may watch floyd/oscar II, if that happens but if it happens the same day with pac/clottey… i will definitely watch floyd/oscar delayed telecast.. its still good though and i think its the best time for both floyd/oscar to regain trust and audience.
but i love manny.. man this guy is amazing, like f5 tornado or something.
Believe me, FloydM will fight Malignani or the retired de la Hoya coz he only fights weaklings and slow midgets.
boxing_fan. are your retard? damian was right.. i just saw the fight via youtube and clottey was disqualified because of headbutt.. if you think you are what you really are, you should know that clottey was a couple of rounds ahead. he threw harder punches and accuracy was better than floyd. it was also clear that floyd was having trouble because clottey can stand agains floyd hard punches..
your a nuthugger bro.. yea right. thats what you are.
Mayweather fighting DLH would be the biggest bullsh*t of boxing. DLH winning would have no bearing because we all know that he got beaten by Pac. The outcome would be orchestrated because GBP owned by DLH would want to build up Mayweather.
Mayweather vs Pacquiao will probably still happen later. I am not crossing my fingers but after finding out that Mayweather is using drugs to numb his fists in his fights (the same reason why he only wants to fight at Nevada), his 40-0 record is null and void and not even worthy of sharing the ring with Manny Pacquiao.

Teddy Atlas just confirmed that Floyd is fighting Ivan calderon on March 13, 2010. He is a bigger draw than Nate Campbell.
teddy Atlas confirmed that Floyd picked Ivan Calderon for the March 13, 2020 fight. He is a bigger draw that Nate Campbell according to Floyd.
FLOYD IS NOT MAN ENOUGH TO EVEN FACE CLOTTEY! CLOTTEY WOULD KNOCK HIM OUT!!
This column is hilarious! Yeah , imagine ODLH and PBF reuniting? And imagine if Oscar accidentally KO’s PBF—there goes the cash cow !!! Hahaha! Floyd, FLOYD Sr and Oscar are all punks.
With the desperation in seeking an opponent in March 13, the Floyd gang seemed to be experiencing reality shocks, wasn’t he who said he is the one whot moves boxing these days, how come it’s moving without him..what a very sad sight for such a proud man…
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
well fist you gay
BoxingFan_1! on January 12th, 2010 2:32 am Floyd beat Baldomir that beat Clottey and you have the audacity of saying is a fight that can replace the one involving the 2 best p4p? Please tell me in what planet you spend most of your time? Or maybe your IQ is in double digits.
_____________________________________________
Your statement is not accurate. Baldomir DID NOT BEAT CLOTTEY> Clottey was beating Baldomir decidely on all three scorecards up until the point that Clottey was DISQUALIFIED by a headbutt in the 10th and another in the 11th. Yes Baldomir got the victory by a disqualification but that is not the same AS BEATING DOWN your opponent. Hence deception is a form of dishonesty.
Fraudweather and DLH better take Random DRUG TEST. or it will show how hypocrits they are. oh! and fraud dont forget to take your xylocaine you might get beat this time by DLH… losers!!
Manny’s camp ask for the fight as Freddie Roach announce it after Cotto’s fight. Mayweather senior told everyone that Manny is taking steriods and that was the start of all the trouble of all negotiations. They (Gayweather)did not want the fight with Pacquiao in the first place and that is the fact. Pacman did not avoid the fight because they are the one who ask for the fight when Roach said, “I want Mayweather”, remember that phrase?
Floyd vs Oscar, that a joke, Why would Oscar come out of retiremen after get the tacos beat out of his ass by Pacman and fight Floyd to save GBP ass…They got nothing better to do but put up 12 round of cat and mouse, and a game of tag…we going to top rank, where we can at least see a potential KO by two slugger who don’t participate in the GBP group of marathon running boxers
of course what you are forgetting, is that floyd already walked away from a rematch with Oscar. Remember when FLoyd retired(2nd retirement) at that time he had a date set, with a guarantee of 20million to fight Oscar. The fight was going to be at 147 so Oscar fought Steve Forbes at a catchweight of 150 first. FLoyd made his Uncle(roger) quit Forbes corner because he didnt want Roger training a guy to beat Oscar and possibly spoiling the rematch. Then for no reason at all floyd decided to retire and walk away for the fight. Any of this ringing a bell ??????
Kentucky Floyd Chicken has ducked himself into a tight spot.
Now, KFC has to pick a legit opponent i.e. Cotto, Margarito, Williams or Mosley for March 13 or no one will watch his fight.
If he chooses a weaker opponent, HBO will choose Pacquiao vs Clottey. Hahaha
common guys this writer is just telling the truth, well, speaking of the truth, is dela hoya fucked up floyd legacy already by starting this nonsense steroid test. then floyd father ride along with dela hoya to fucked up his own son’s legacy by running his loudmouth. and now chicken floyd is fucked up for life. now the moral of the story is floyd should not listen to this 2 fools.
u guys are all a bunch of idiots, first of all if ur so called great manny pacman new that floyd is runnin away jus take the blood test n bewat his ass, dont run away n fight a guy who is NOT a top 10 great welterwieght, u guys are stating that floyed is a mind reader who knew pacman would not take the test,also wen there are contracts writen up u can demand all u want, u can demand sliced oranged for all they care. open up the windows n let the crack smoke leave ur room and u wil see the truth. if ur man is so great jus take the test(i ain nevr heard of no one bien scared of needles) o and it weakes him wen he gives blood, wat about if he gets cut in a fight. u r talkin bout him fightin a guy that lost to a guy that he beat. and that makes him great
@ wanted…LOL. What are you yapping about? Floyd’s balls in your mouth you can’t speak straight english?
if ur man is so great and can wope floyds ass then take a test, it ain like floyds not takin it he doin the same thing, pacmans scared to get his head knocked off
ARE WE GOING TO SEE THE USADA BLOOD TEST FOR THIS FIGHT AND ALL THEIR PROMOTED FIGHTS????????
@wanted187
Man, your livin on a bubble. first of all Manny aint duckin no ONE. Floyd duckArtist, keep yappin about blood testing on the fight contract and at the media. Floyd was barking the wrong potHole my friend, he should have walk his A$$ to the commission and file a petition from there for a deeper and more rigid blood-doping-bs test if his intention was really sincere.
BS. this issue is old and only retards talk about this ZZzzzzZ. Pac is now movin on a great fight with clottey,a Top 10 weltherweight alive.
whos floyd fighting now? your guess is good as mine… f-off
FLOYD will suprise all the critics.
FLOYD REQUIRES ALL HIS FANS TO TAKE AN OLYMPIC STYLE DRUG TESTING TO PROVE IF THEY ARE REALLY HIS DIE HARD FANS BECAUSE HE FEELS HIS FANS ARE HIGH ON DRUGS BY KEEP ON DEPENDING HIM . QUESTION… IF U ARE REALLY A DIE HARD FANS OF FLOYD ARE U WILLING TO SUBMIT TO AN OLYMPIC TYPE OF DRUG TEST?
That’s a terrible idea. The fight would not even be worthy of PPV. At the very least De La Hoya would not only need to fight a tune-up opponent, but he would have to dominate and knock out that opponent for anyone to think to take it seriously. De La Hoya coming out of retirement to fight someone who already beat him in a fairly dominating fashion would not upstage Joshua Clottey/Manny Pacquiao.
mayweather didnt beat dela hoya in dominating fashion!
Oh, I’d love to see Oscar come back and bust that a**. Mayweather could never make Oscar look the way Manny did. I think I would pay to see that one again.
Floyd may not even win against Matthew Hatton if the fight is in England and a random continuous blood test is conducted in that area.
