    If he comes back and fights Pac that fight can produce maybe close to 3m plus PPV buys - worldwide.

    Dude Floyd would be pushing it at this stage of his life making 140lbs theres no way he comfortably makes that weight anymore.

    DLH pulls numbers out of his ass, he could be fighting a guy with 0-0 record and it would still do numbers, We wouldn't have to worry about DLH electing to fight Cotto because of potential ppv buy problems, we have to worry about DLH not electing to choose Cotto because it won't be a pretty fight what so ever. If DLH chooses to fight Tito its because its an easier fight for him to win, plain and simple.

    Pac vs Floyd comes down to Pac's willingness to go up that high up in weight to fight Floyd. I don't think he does.

    And why does all of this have to revolve around Money? You seem like Mayweather vs Pacquiao is more important than Mayweather vs Cotto, which it is CLEARLY NOT. No one would give Mayweather any credit for beating Pacquiao whatsoever.

    Cause Floyd only cares about the money that is why. He has stated himself that if you don't have a 100 million don't bother to call.

    It's called pricing yourself out of fights. Which is a tactic often looked as being an excuse to avoid certain fighters.

    I agree with the pricing himself out but it's also his ass living in a reality world that he's a big draw. He got nice PPV numbers fighting Hatton and DLH.

    DLH doesn't draw boxing fan. His huge ass PPV are from Oscersexuals ordering his fights in hopes of his shorts falling of so they can cream in their panty.

    His other big number was against Hatton. Again another name that has huge following.

    If he's such a big draw, he should have no problem filling seats. DLH relied on HIMSELF to make money. Floyd still needs the right opponent. His asking for 100Mill is just ridiculous though. He knows that's an impossible purse for one fighter.

    ODL and Tyson couldn't even dream of those numbers and they were as big as it gets when getting paid.

    Floyd is dillusional.

    Mayweather calling the new guys bums is ridiculous. Maybe he is too old but certainly not the best. Merchant and HBO praising Pavlik and Pacquiao is not racist but aknowledging two exciting fighters. Mayweather is anything but exciting. **** that ****.

    it is all very common in the fight game to reach a goal, and then have nothing else left to be hungry for. Look at tyson after he got all the belts. Before he got them he was one hungry, committed man on a mission. After he got the glory it was just time to party for him.

    they weren't big money affairs. the average **** in the street were not talking about it

    don't get me wrong, he is a big star now after the high profile fights of 2007. but before then, most people never knew who he was

    Exactly, the list will never end. This is what Mayweather means when he say he won't let boxing retire him :yep
