    Floyd has millions of dollars, I don't think he gives a crap about what our broke ass think. I think as boxing fans we give ourselve to much credit on what individual boxer believe we want. Boxing promoters should care.

    if he does and whoops pac's ass, everybody will cry....oh he's avoiding PW, he's scared of PW. Aren't you th same dude who declared pbf was scared of SSM? HBO is interested in making $ and pbf vs. berto or timbo would draw more dough than pacroid fighting margocheato in mexico.

    HBO and GBP don't tell Floyd to do anything, he is their biggest seller. End of story.

    I certainly hope that's the case !!! For the sake of boxing, the best MUST make every effort to fight the best...consistently !!

    Mayweather, like Pacquiao and most high profile fighters have become big, mainly because they were strongly helped and at a certain point, meant to become that way.

    The creation never has more power than the creator...

    I'm only giving the theory weight because HBO has been on a recent string of dictating which fights they are willing to pay for and being very adamant about it. HBO doesn't want to keep paying fighters big paychecks if they don't fight opponents that generate a comparable level of revenue.
    As a general rule I see some top fighters lowering their price-tags in the near future or getting frozen out (like Berto and Williams).
