    No one has an opinion?..

    Where would his career be?
    Who would he have fought?
    would his legacy be any better?
    Would he be more beloved or hated?
    Would he still have bitterness toward Pacquiao?
    Would the "******* vs *****" era still be going so strong?
    How would affect the sport of boxing?

    I think it's an intriguing topic for discussion

    Arum would be reaching into his pockets and preventing him from the biggest fights

    Why wouldn't it have?.. Floyd still being in business with TR would have given Bob more incentive to make the fight.

    He would it have stopped him from getting the biggest fights? If anything he could have had bigger names on his resume.

    There would be whispers of him being broke, he would have fought more, made less...and would definitely be worse off. There's no case to be made for being "richer"...none.

    Bob arum take 30% of his fighter's purse, so how can having a promoter become more richer? you almost have to fight twice to make full pay.

    He would not have as much money, fought more often, might have a couple losses and most likely be retired by now

    In order for Mayweather to have stayed with Arum it would be based on either Arum deciding to give Mayweather more money on his guarantee. Or Mayweather would have to accept taking less money on his guarantee. Mayweather would have fought TR guys like Margo, Cotto and Clottey and possibly gotten the Hoya fight as I can see Arum finally deciding to make that fight as Mayweather and Hoya's retirement fight.

    Mayweather wouldn't be accused of ducking.

    Considering he could have fought prime Cotto, Margo, possibly Mosley when he was still decent, plus other interesting match ups such as Clottey n PWill, not to mention Pac and I still no reason he couldn't have gotten a De La Hoya fight. I absolutely think it's possible he'd be more rich. I never said he had to remain under contract with TR; the question is what if remained in business with them. He never had to leave on bad terms, he could have made deals with them similar to his GBP partnerships. And don't tell me Arum never would not have worked with him due to some kind of grudge; Arum only cares about one thing and that's Money.

    He'd probably be the most loved and respected fighter of all time and broke. His personal came from him being the ******* so people can attach hat label to him and keep it close to their perception. He would have money but not like how he has now
