    Did Floyd wait until Manny's hot run and form was toning down?

    Why didnt Floyd sign the 6 fight mega deal when he was more in his prime a few years ago and so was Manny???

    gbp / showtime have a strangle hold on 140-154, floyds weight classes. with HBO not doing business with gbp or showtime it was the best move

    people really come up with the most ridiculous theories all in an effort to suppose floyd ducked manny pacquiao.

    your answer?

    ...Money...

    It's one of the most lucrative sports contracts in history.

    you manny fans will never let this go. pac is done. he never had a chance against floyd. he lost 3 of the 4 fights he had with jmm who is a smaller, slower, more predictable version of floyd. floyd would have gatti'd pac. end of story.

    All this was explained in an article about Showtime. They hired a new executive that used to be a lawyer for GBP and when he came to showtime he went to GBP and Mayweather and asked them to make the switch.
