Mayweather news: Possible Fight in May?

by School Project Fri 07 Dec 2012, 12:46 am

First topic message reminder :

Just heard that GBP have booked out the MGM Grand on the 4th of May (standard practice for them as it's the Mexican national holiday and they ALWAYS sell well). Mayweather wishes to have "two huge fights" in 2013.

A few names are being thrown about, but without doubt he will HAVE to be fighting a Mexican on Cinco de Mayo... One interesting piece of news is that Alvarez is said to be set up for a fight on the same date. Both guys are signed with GBP, but my money is on Mayweather fighting his mandatory Robert Guererro at Welterweight, Alvarez on the undercard with the winners fighting later in the year.

Your thoughts?

Gerry SA.

OK mate. Anyone that likes a fighter is a homosexual that pines for him as his boyfriend. Are you a 12 year old schoolboy or something? Grow up mate.

Gerry SA... Trout isn't Mayweathers mandatory, Robert Guerrero is as Welterweight.

You are so full of fail.

Should have an easy defence Floydy.....Always comes back and fights a legend or a big name!!!!

and then gets abuse for it..............

Take it easy Floyd have an easy night other champions do it and don't get stick..

Not down to you to "CARRY" Boxing..............

Truss every fight he has is a comeback fight. If he fought more often he'd be entitled to take a noddy bout, but what's the point when he won't fight for another 10 months afterwards, and besides he makes very good fighters look easy so taking an easy opponent wouldn't be a challenge or motivate him.

...Cinco de Mayo is the name of the holiday, not the date itself. So a fight on the 4th of May lands on what the Americans call "Cinco de Mayo" weekend. It's a celebration of the Battle of Puebla.

It's like when you hear the Americans say 4th of July Weekend... It's only one day, but it's a celebration.

It's why you see big fights being booked on the weekend that falls nearest 4th May and Mexican independence day (19th September). Mexicans love fighting on these days as they are big PPV events.

I stand corrected ......
