It's close.

With the tendency sliders we have and the knowledge of each AI type and how each slider works in relation to the AI type, we can create him just fine.

I like Mayweather and a fan of his. Just pisses me off that he wont fight Manny. Would Ali, Sugar Robinson, or any other great fighter back down from a challenge? Nope.

I just hope he fights him. If your good then you can beat him. Oh well...

You don't get millions by giving away money.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. would bring sells to EA and who actually benefits from this? The fans? No! EA will benefit greatly. .

This says it all.

yea he spends it and doesn't give it to uncle sam or his baby's mama. I don't feel sorry for people when they are in trouble with the IRS because to me that just shows your immaturity. He's a grown man that's what grown men do is pay their bills and do what is right.

As far as the game goes its a shame he's not in it, but I rather see the super six guys than just him. I think all seven of them are more worth it than just one guy.

Forget Floyd and give us Larry Holmes to complete the heavyweight division, since that is where most of the in-game fighters reside anyway.

Not just for his name Nike took care of that, but Jordan is a legend , I don't consider Floyd a legend. He's a really good boxer , but his ego toward the end of his career is messing it up for himself.

If he wants to keep the champ life he better fight.

LOL

EA Pays Floyd pennies

EA's game becomes a best seller

Floyd Still get pennies

"Yea he's real dumb, really really dumb"

Pippen and Gasol would not be Pippen and Gasol without Jackson.

There are plenty of bad coaches that had great players and never got a ring.

Despite what you think of the man, Floyd is a legend. If he feels he is not getting what he deserves from EA, then thats his right to decline. Besides we have some great CAB makers, its not a massive loss.

# 36 Keenan G. @ 04/28/11 11:46 AM

I aint mad at Mayweather for wanting more money. I wonder how much EA offered him to put him in the game.

# 37 SteelCityChamp @ 05/12/11 06:18 AM

This video is one of the reasons why I don't like this f**king idiot. He obviously cares nothing for his fans. Get paid what everybody else is getting paid to be in the game you dork. It's not like you're the greatest boxer ever. OMG! I hate this man with a passion. I hope Pacquiao knocks his head clean off of his shoulders.
