    What stipulations, annexes, terms, etc do you think will Floyd add in the contract for him to agree in this fantasy fight?

    1. Fight will be in Las Vegas
    2. Floyd will choose the judges
    3. Floyd will choose the referee, timekeeper, announcer
    4. 90-10 split
    5. Drug testing every midnight for SRR

    What else?

    There wouldn’t have been a contract.

    Floyd would have retired.

    Robinson was considered to be pretty imperious in his day. If anything, he was more arrogant than Floyd.

    Negotiations btx the two would be hitting snags a number of times given their respective personalities.

    No 6 oz horse hair gloves for Robinson. Floyd would insist he have to wear the most padded pair of Winning brand 16 oz training gloves.

    Great fight but perhaps Floyd will get the decision due to his superior Defence. SRR might need a knockout to win. Charley Burley would be the tougher fight for either guy.

    Don’t forget that Mayweather would also negotiate into the contract that he, Floyd Mayweather jr. be allowed an intravenous injection of saline and vitamins, the night prior to the fight, that was banned under World Anti-Doping Agency guidelines. He wouldn’t want to have to spend the kind of money again that he spent last time against Pacquiao to make it go away. He’d be up front about it this time.

    SRR would have been all wrong for Floyd.... 5’11, power in both hands, chin of steel, tremendous stamina, speed, and extremely intelligent in the ring.

    Floyd would have negotiated into the contract that uncle Roger could jump in if he was getting hurt bad enough.

    FlIVd never steps in the ring with a monster like Robinson. A guy that is just as fast and skilled but bigger and stronger and powerful with an iron will and chin to match. Yeah, good luck.

    If you imagine Robinson emerges as a 23 year old who is pre-prime when Floyd retires after beating Oscar, and you imagine that Robinson hits his stride bigtime and blasts out Manny Pacquiao twice while Floyd is away; and you imagine Mayweather comes back and does what he does for a year while Robinson cleans house - that fight is probably worth around 300m dollars each, at a minimum.

    I think they'd probably get it done pretty straight up.

    Keep in mind that McGregor cleared about 90m $ for fighting Floyd.
