    Greenberg is trying to save his job. After the Bradley-Alexander fight, he is screwed if he cannot come up with something big.

    Whatever they do, they better do it fast. Floyd has 2 fights left.

    All roads lead to Floyd Mayweather.

    he'll fight again. no-one will give him a tough test except pacquaio and his team won't agree to random testing right up until the fight and after the fight like mosley did.

    i reckon floyd will fight the winner of khan-bradley and would make it look easy vs either of them.

    he could then fight berto or cotto if pacman does not fight.

    Just because Bradley/Alexander bomb, i dont blame it on HBO. I have to still give them propes for putting it on tv. Promotion could be a little better. But having seen the fight. Probably would turn off more fans.

    Greenburg is just being cautious. Makes sense. He's in no position to make commitments for Floyd.

    He can save his job, Top Rank is out but Golden Boy is still there....they can still make overhyped fights.

    HBO better build up Amir in the quickness. Floyd may never fight again. Cotto and emmanuel ran off to Showtime.

    They need a new star in case Floyd doesn't fight again. Amir happens to be the most marketable prizefighter in their stable.

    Wont happen on HBO Arum has jumped ships.......with his guys...

    Berto is Dibella so it still can happen.....

    I think Mayweather vs. Sergio Martinez should be the next big bout after Martinez fights his next bout.

    on HBO PPV......and throw on some decent Dibella and Golden Boy guys on the undercards.
