    That will be the only way the fight will happen.
    Floyd will - and should - call the shots.
    If Mayweather does wants the fight - then it will get made IMO.
    Floyd is so far the A-side that if he wants it, make it.
    Not sure there are any excuses for either side anymore.
    The good thing about Pac bordering on being broke - is that we know he wants this fight. I think it will get made, and I think Floyd will get paid very well.

    if it is showtime alone, they would want the last two fights of floyd under his contract to be pacquiao and a rematch. But we all know that floyd would rather preserve his health and fight khan and alexander.

    Mayweather will delay this fight as much as possible, taking other fights to maximize his pay days. He runs his career as a business and in all honesty, he's worked very hard and has all the right to do it. That said, he needs to fight Pac lol.

    I don't know that they can "make him", but they can certainly entice him.

    i think it's not stipulated in the contract that one of his fights has to be Pac....so he can still refuse and fight another.

    ...he can go away with it if he wants to

    there is an article on bn24 which states the shortlist of opponents for floyd when he first signed the contract, i cant find it

    we dont know the details of the contract

    it could be that if the fighters in the shortlist are now unavailable then showtime has the right to choose the opponent for mayweather

    i think yes showtime can make floyd fight pac, i cant imagine showtime committed to a contract where mayweather can choose his opponents with absolutely no scrutiny from showtime

    Why does Showtime need Bob Arum? Bob Arum consistently makes negative remarks about Showtme and their personel, that they can make that fght without Bob Arum. Mayweather will take the fight on his own accord as someone else pointed out. If Pac is such a cash cow, then go fight the Algerie's
