You know, I've been one of those who thinks JMM is nothing but a tune up for Floyd- a credible tune up which will set up the big megafight against Cotto or Pacquiao (hopefully Pacman) or perhaps Mosley in Spring 2010. Now, what would happen if somehow JMM, a superb fighter and a man that can never be counted out of any fight, pulls it off, let it be because he just manages to do so or because Floyd is not the same fighter that left the sport 2 years ago. Apart of the 140 and 147 divisions getting badly shaken up... would we be seeing Pacman-Marquez III in Spring '10 at 140? Or perhaps Cotto-Marquez at 145? Or will Mosley benefit from this and get the winner of Cotto-Pacman in 2010?
What do you think would be the scenario if JMM beats Floyd? Thoughts?

Ya it probably is a win. I was just speculating that is what would happen, not that it was good or bad. But your right, it probably is good. What would be even better is if you could actually see it unfold in the corner during the fight. Priceless.

If he gets his dad in his corner I think it can be a good think will probably see a more offensive Floyd , sr loves throwing combos and hooks and uppercuts. Now if Not Floyd could be like fuk it No trainer ,kick JMM ass and after be like "looked I did something pac couldn't do and that was beat JMM and I did it without a trainer " LOL
That would make a argument for a 60 -40 split..LOL

If Mayweather beats up Marquez and tries to use that as leverage for a Pacquiao fight, Manny should leave the table and engage in whatever fight he wants while Mayweather will have to go around scavanging for a big fight. Now, if Mayweather was a lightweight and he beat up Marquez he could boast about it but here in reality land he's a 147 pound younger, faster, bigger and more skilled fighter than Marquez and therefore beating Marquez doesn't mean shit.

Why? If that's what pac is doing he beat oscar worse than Mayweather right??, Mayweather is a bigger draw than pac ! Same oppenents they had mayweathers fights made more ! What's pac getting paid for cotto what 12 mill ? While floyd is getting 15 mill for JMM after a 2 year layoff????

That wasn't the point, you said that when Mayweather beats PMarquez he can boast that he did what Pacquiao couldn't do (which is wrong since Pacquiao did beat JMM) and use that as ammo for getting a 60-40 split on his side. Now of course you change course and try and come up with PPV buys and salary numbers.

You could also counter that Pac beat both their common opponents not only in far more dominant fashion (did he even lose a round?) but at their absolute best weight (regardless if DLH had not fought there in years 147 was Oscar's best weight class).

In hindsight the DLH victory is tainted by DLH's drastic weight loss but hey, whose fault is that?
The Hatton win was impressive, no one can deny that. While Mayweather had to run and hold for 7 rounds before finally opening up, Pacquiao brushed Hatton off in 2 rounds.

He did say that it wouldd be an accomplishment to beat JMM, without having Roger in his corner but he also said that beating Marquez is something Pacquiao couldn't do (which is not true). He also makes no sense by saying that beating Marquez without Roger would give him an advantage during negotiations. Can you imagine Mayweather going "Hey listen Arum, sure Pacquiao is the star here but I too can draw big numbers. My edge however, is that I beat JMM with no trainer. Checkmate."

A KO win over MArquez would be impressive. Marquez will be competitive either way you cut it. And if Floyd tries to go in and steam roll Marquez we will have a new P4P King. Two things people are underestimating: The 2 year lay off and Marquez's skills. The undercard is a bonus.

With little over a month to go before the September 19th fight between Floyd “Money” Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez, the bout is attracting little attention and rarely discussed at all on the internet. It’s as if the fight isn’t even taking place, because there is barely a peep being mentioned about the fight. That’s not a good sign for Mayweather, because the bout will be pay-per-view and will be competing with the UFC 103 event, which takes place on the same night for a lot less money.
It seems Mayweather Jr. may have overestimated his worth based on his past fights against Ricky Hatton and Oscar De La Hoya. Back then, it was thought by some boxing fans that Mayweather was the reason why those fights ended up so successful. However, that may not be the case. If the little attention that the Marquez fight is any indication, it could be that Hatton and De La Hoya were the main reasons those fights turned out to be mega bouts, and not because of Mayweather.
Certainly, Mayweather wasn’t a huge draw before the De La Hoya fight in 2007. Back then, Mayweather’s fights against Zab Judah were respectable but not even close to being huge. It wasn’t until Mayweather was matched with De La Hoya and Hatton that Mayweather was able to be in a fight that brought in huge numbers.
Mayweather seemed to be on the way to building up a fan base with his fights against Hatton and De La Hoya, and probably he’d be a huge bonafide star by now if he had stuck around and not retired. However, the two year retirement set Mayweather back in a big way, taking away a lot of his fans and leading to Manny Pacquiao becoming a huge star.
Now, Mayweather is finding out the hard way that he’s going to have to start from scratch if he wants to win back the boxing fans that he lost. All the talking that Mayweather has one lately in the media won’t be enough on it’s own to bring in the fans, because it takes a little more than that to get the attention of boxing fans nowadays.
Fans have had a huge dose of bragging and trash talking by British heavyweight David Haye, who then did nothing to back up his words in the ring by backing out on two consecutive fights with the Klitschko brothers. It’s probably not possible for the Mayweather-Marquez fight to interest fans, because of Mayweather’s inactivity and the history of him being less than fan friendly in many of his fights.
With his hit and run style of fighting, Mayweather is the opposite of what many boxing fans are looking for when they lay down their hard earned money to watch a fight. The Marquez honestly shouldn’t even be a pay-per-view fight at this point.
Mayweather is coming out of a two year retirement, and will likely be rusty from inaction. To top it off, Mayweather has selected a fighter that fights two weight classes below him in lightweight Marquez. That makes Mayweather look like a cherry picking bully to many boxing fans. There’s no interest in seeing Mayweather fight someone two divisions below him.
Marquez may be a better fighter than Mayweather if the size disparity were removed, but the fact remains, Mayweather is the bigger fighter and will likely be able to win because of that alone. That isn’t the recipe that Mayweather should have been looking for in his comeback. He needed to fight a welterweight like Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley or someone like Paul Williams.
