Floyd isn't short of cash he just is looking at making easy money. As soon as the Saudis confirmed they would do AJ v Ruiz, Mayweather now knows they are serious and would gladly take the fight to make crazy money.
This fight is not worth that money. The fight is valued that high because of Manny beating Thurman? Manny was favored. It was a good win, but Manny and Floyd are not top fighters now. Again, boxing has become a joke.
Mayweather announces a lot of things. Don King might skim the cream off his fighters purses but Floyd robs the fans with bull**** fight cards at ridiculous prices. After that whole joke in Japan, it's clear people shouldn't pay him the attention or ever buy one of his fights/exhibitions. But hey, you know what they say, there's a sucker born every minute.
No way Floyd fights outside of his living room. Imagine if he goes over there (for a lot less than 500mil) and they give Manny a shady decision. Floyd's head would blow up
Why are so many of you jealous of what Floyd Mayweather is being paid? Damn, so much bitterness and jealousy. The guy is basically retired, he has paid his dues to boxing, he is an ATG, a boxing legend. If he wants a few extra bucks for his retired lifestyle, then so be it. I wish him the best. Why are you guys just so damn bitter? He can get paid whatever he likes, it's called capitalism and market worth. Throw in some oil money and I tell you, that is a lot of dollars right there.
This looks like it will go ahead Floyd Mayweather knows it the best option for him fighting Pacquiao .
