    I know you're joking..but how could Shotime allow this? There must be a catch, cuz dude is about to get 32 guaranteed. They won't even make half that unless Mayweathers idiotic legion are dumber than we thought.

    Don't watch it then, no one is forcing you.

    Don't talk about it, don't acknowledge it.

    Hf rewatching Pac vs Algieri, Pac vs Rios.

    I'm sure they more than recuperated any loss from his previous low PPVs with the Manny PPV.. That was probably a stipulation that SHO gave Floyd in order for him to make the Manny PPV.. That he could fight whoever he wanted after that.

    Is that the rumor? Floyd is too old for 3 more in my opinion. If he fights 3 more times, he loses for sure. Makes no sense to me. His haters will rejoice of course and try to minimize his entire career because of it but it would be meaningless.

    leave him alone. floyd deserves to fight an easy opponent. he only waited 5 years to fight pac and that was after pac got ktfo by juan.

    So you think it will do more poorly than Cotto-Canelo and GGG-Leieux?

    I'm guessing everyone made enough on the Pacquiao fight that they can afford a loss in this one, especially if they are expecting more Mayweather fights in the future.

    I'm not sure how this sells. After Pacquiao the casual fan is resigned to the fact that Mayweather is likely to retire undefeated.

    Looking at the upcoming PPV's, I'd be most likely to buy GGG/Lemieux with Chocolatito on the undercard, followed by Canelo/Cotto, and a very distant 3rd in Mayweather/Berto. Groves/Jack, presumably the chief support bout, isn't particularly great.

    This may be the first Mayweather PPV I don't buy. I wonder what the price will be?
