Roger couldn't work twitter if his life depended on it lol

Absolutely correct. I saw a bunch of intelligent and legible tweets...couldn't have been Roger's account. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

For a while, I've been talking up a Khan fight because it made too much sense. Khan having Roach, Ariza, and Pacquiao, as mainstream leverage during a 24/7 keeps the ball rolling for a megafight along with Amir's British scenery and backstory, which 24/7 hasn't seen since Hatton's last fight.

With all this said, it's waaaay too early for Floyd to even be concerned about who he's fighting next. If anybody notices a pattern, Floyd usually makes his upcoming fights based off of the performances of other fighters (Hatton, Marquez, Mosley (somewhat), Ortiz, and Cotto), not immediately after his own fight.

As for an immediate Cotto rematch offering him $14M, that sounded a bit odd as well. If Cotto makes $14M in an immediate Mayweather rematch, then there's 3 questions that should follow...

1. How big is the purse for this fight?
2. How is Floyd going to make anything north of that guaranteed $32M, if people aren't roaring and demanding an immediate rematch?
3. Lastly, just how in the hell is everybody else (promoters, PPV) going to get paid?

These are the same questions that should've been asked when that whopping $30M Cotto payday was being thrown around before the numbers were set in stone for the Mayweather fight. At one point, I believed that Cotto was going to make that much, but then I was challenged on the 3 questions above.

Lol, yep. I know that a couple of years ago, his mind was set on that $100M drug test, but hell, even that figure may have been off a bit. That interview was funny as shit though.

"If a guy is gettin' a hundred million dollars and dont wanna take a mothafuckin' test, then that already tell you something about him. What do that tell you bout him then? Huh? Alright. I dont even have to say nothing else. How a muhfucka gone turn down a hundred million dollar fight, and go fight another muhfucka for $20M? *paraphrased and interpreted* (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Just going thru the other tweets I could tell that that shit was suspect. Only celebrities get a verified blue check and even though Roger on twitter would be hilarious, he aint no celebrity lol. It's pathetic how people want to live other peoples lives and not their own. But hey..that's the online world we live in nowadays. I've seen 2 funny twitter accounts that constantly have me dying laughing, and that's the fake accounts of max kellerman and another one of larry merchant. Stuff they be saying sometimes be hilarious

+1 OR Twitter for that matter lmao

Unless I missed it, there were no "Muthafuckas", "git his ass whipp'd" and "shiiiiit, skills wins fights", right? <----Proof it wasn't Uncle Rog.

SMH at idiot "writers" who actually take quotes from Twitter without confirming the validity of the account.

ROGER MAYWEATHER IS NOT ON TWITTER!

FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR. IS NOT ON TWITTER!

END OF DISCUSSION!

Pretty telling about how BoxingNews24 rolls. I'm surprised that BoxingScene didn't have a similar article.
