    3 Fights left on Showtime contract.

    After the last show bombed, its been reported as under 800K for 'the moment'. Showtime is going to push floyd hard to fight some rock solid opposition!

    But there are no easy roads left for floyd apart from taking glass chin Khan into the equation. If they fight in pillow gloves maybe Khan's chin might last????
    :rofl:rofl:lol::lol::patsch

    Maybe its time for floyd to lose the 'urge' and carry out a little sabbatical from the sport until another bum like Guerrero pops up so he can finish his contact?

    Maidana rematch
    Khan
    Pacquaio (always a vague possibility)
    Whoever emerges best from Porter/Garcia/Thurman

    Thats probably what Mayweather is looking at at WW. 154 not sure whats there for him money wise at the moment. Maybe he will go the mw route for a fight vs Cotto Martinez winner, itd bring in more money than most other options but I wouldnt like to see that fight.

    Not enough to earn a Mayweather fight.
    Realistically, not even enough to earn him a Garcia rematch.

    Maidana rematch won't do better than the first fight in PPV numbers so forget that fight. Khan fight will most likely do good numbers, the hype for this one will be big and the All Access episodes will guarantee excitement which is all that matters to attract enough casuals to cash in.

    Agreed.

    Thing is, is that even though Floyd's money is great, he is on somebody else's watch. So where Floyd would fight someone of RG's caliber in his next fight if it was up to him, he has to face someone dangerous because he is on somebody else's watch. :D

    Showtime isn't looking for who 'earns' a shot but rather who can sell to recoup the money the gave to Floyd. We all know who that will be but he has to leave TR and join TMT to make a fight :)lol::patsch).

    Khan is next no doubt about it. WBC is already putting him as mandatory after beating Collazo :)patsch). Next we need Ring Magazine to add him in the Top Ten P4P too, which they will just like they did with Guerrero.

    this is where the conflict lies.

    pedjr wants to protect his zero first and foremost.

    showtime wants to make money off their investment.

    the casuals have caught with pedjr's lies and wont bother with no hopers.



    simple terms: pedjr got raped, showtime got raped. both are looking for gel except they looking for different ones.

    we will find out next who will prevail. stay tuned.

    Khan
    Garcia
    Broner

    - these are PBF's next opponents - low risk and high reward or hard work and dedication !

    I really hope Lara beats Canelo to see if PBF will choose him as his next opponent even @ 152 lbs.

    Porter is another good fighter that PBF should fight. As well Thurman.

    I think people need to put their hatred for Khan aside. I think Mayweather Vs Khan would be a great fight.
