    I'm not a big fan of Floyd, but if he wants to consider himself a businessman instead of a warrior that is up to him. He has mastered the game of making money, I still can't believe that he sells the tickets that he does, most of the other PPV or closed circuit stars of the past have been charismatic, exciting warriors, I don't see him as either. But the dude is making 30 plus million a fight. I take my digs at him but I doubt he cares a whole hell of a lot. He is a professional boxer making maximum money with as little risk as possible and not a lot of other guys have ever been able to do that. Doubt it bothers him if he doesn't make some peoples ATG list either. The only thing I can do is not buy his fights, which is no problem cause I find him boring but if a million other people are buying it don't matter. Sure, I think he has been the main ducker in the whole mess with Manny but he is laughing all the way to the bank.

    Im not a moron.
    I see boxing as a sport.
    I never said I agreed with them not fighting.
    The reason I don't love this forum and hardly post is because people are far too biased towards one or the other, its pathetic

    It is a business decision for both promoters and networks to keep their fighter such a draw.
    yes one fight would have generated a ton of money but in the long run both are making more being the cash cow without fighting.

    I am a fan of both, I don't see why its one or the other.

    Putting your health and your life on the line for your profession takes a lot of courage. Let's be honest, ring deaths are NOT uncommon, and many, many fighters suffer from brain trauma.

    However, their inability to come to terms on a fight was a disgrace to the sport.

    Fair comment on the farm business, I take I back.

    As you can see I am far from a keyboard warrior.
    But no man who fights for a living is a coward and based on the guys both men have fought, its very unlikely they are scared of each other.
    Do you agree?

    Agreed, its not just two fighters from rival networks and promoters that are not fighting though. Its not like top rank and golden boy fighters have been going at it for the last 5 years

    How about we stop being fans of both?

    I'm all for telling both Floyd and Manny to stick the Maidana rematch and Algieri fights up their ass.

    Seriously - F those guys.
