    Floyd can fight like he's in an exhibition but you know Manny will be coming for his head.

    Still if Floyd said that it means hes having buyers remorse and might pull out if he can't get it switched to exhibition.

    Maybe after the bankruptcy sales Floyd has more money then he thought he would.

    He has the exhibition bout w/ Tyson and the kickboxer guy before facing Pac. Hopefully he doesn't suffer an "injury" that calls it off

    You just knew there would be shenanigans and obstacles in this actually happening (not that I want it to happen). Read an article where the reporter said somebody in Floyd's inner circle told him that Floyd wouldn't beat Pacquiao at this stage and would lose convincingly. Maybe Floyd, as confident as he is, is having doubts about keeping his perfect record intact in his current form, as well as his ability to physically implement what his mind knows how to do? Who knows. Either way, this thing is going to be a **** show.

    Pacquaio has kept busy with far better competition in recent years. Logan Paul and tiny Japanese kickboxers aren't going to keep you going at your best.

    Its nearly a certainty Manny wins and its not even a close fight. People who think otherwise are the "Tyson v Jake Paul was rigged" crowd who can't process age and taking 10 years off.

    If Floyd won 2 rounds thats a good solid showing for him.

    It’s going to come down, ultimately, to how bad Floyd's current money situation is, and whether he’ll really be willing to sacrifice his hallowed “0" for a needed payday.

    Good for team Pacquiao for standing firm that this should be a real fight, despite Floyd’s pleas.

    He wants to protect the zero.

    Just read on twitter that it is most likely cancelled as Floyd doesn't want to risk his zero.
