    Floyd himself hasn't said word about this fight in the media, has he?

    I wouldn't put too much leverage on these articles floating around, and Morales words.. he clearly wants money fights, and he knows Floyd would embarrass him in there, but he wants the payday.

    I would be surprised if Floyd signed this fight, and if he did... there really is no way to support it.

    Nothing is happening you moron. This talk is from gbp not mayweather ppl. Unless floyd or his ppl is talking about fighting morales then this mayweather vs morales stuff is bs. Didnt ricky little brother say the mayweather ppl was offering him to fight Floyd years ago? How come it didnt happen? Oh i know cause it wasnt no negotiation just like this one if you can open your eyes and stop being a dumb *******.

    Don't forget about them offering a fight to Spadafora or Martinez, which were confirmed by both camps, GBP is simply weighing their options since it's clear that Arum and Top Rank are positioning to duck Mayweather at all cost.

    I actually believe GB may have offered the fight, that doesn't mean Floyd did.

    On May 5, Morales/Floyd would make GB a lot of money.

    IMO Ray is likely correct, BUT, with Manny currently fighting Marquez, a fight between EM and Floyd doesn't look quite so bad.

    I mean, MAB and Pac have been rivals for quite a while, and EM is a legend in his own, but seriously, neither of these fights are great by any means in comparison to Pac/May.

    But still, Morales is a warrior to the end, and even though I think Floyd is still a ducker for not fighting Pac, and the facts are there to back that, I'd still consider him fighting Morales his greatest achievement, even if it is a faded Morales.

    Just by calling EM, team May is def making a decent potential scrap if Pac won't agree to a 40-45% split after he signs on for the testing.:deal

    If it makes money, hell fight him. But that's a joke fight and the public wouldnt accept it.

    And for those saying Pac don't want Floyd:-(, be serious, the guy is trying to get a deal done. But this is a 50/50 fight in terms of $$$ and going back and forth about testing only to drop the $$$ 5-10% isn't exactly a great strategy for getting a fight signed. :nono

    I'll stop watching boxing if he gets to fight Floyd. But it won't happen so I'm good

    :patsch

    How was Pac ducked Mayweather at all costs?

    At first, I thought Mayweather secured the May 5th date for a Pac fight, and then rumors fly that Mayweather offered Morales a fight, but that was debunked.. Now Morales himself comes out and says that GBP did in fact offer him a fight against Mayweather.. Why would they even deny it when Morales himself said they did? The fight might not happen, but offers were still made.. Mayweather calls his own shots so why would GBP make offers for him?

    Morales could be on under card, Morales vs. May weather would be a ****ing joke, and FMJ's legacy would be non-existent
