    Honestly as much as I want to like this guy he is seriously a *****.

    When he said he was coming out of retirement to fight the best and prove he was he GOAT I was not expecting him to fight blown up featherweights (which i was willing to let slide due to it being his first fight back and cause JMM is a top class fighter) and Bums. If floyd fights Mathew Hatton (a guy who struggles at domestic level, has no power and is basically not far of a journeyman with a famous older brother) then he should just retire again because there is no point in continuing

    I wonder how much money he wasted sending everyone to california for mediation hearings?
    I was in agreement with Floyd, but after all this mess I do think hes scared to fight Pac. Noone in their right minds turns down that type of money for a blood test, especially someone like Floyd who is way more concerned about it than Pac is.

    its ovious now that he came out of retirement to pay his taxbills. he had no intention in fighting the best. if only he looked after his money properly instead of making it rain in the club or betting millions on football games we wouldn't have to put up with this nonesense.

    The excuse given for fighting JMM was that he was draw. Turns our to be a lie according to Floyd himself. Then the excuse given by fans is that he wanted to set up a date with Pac, by beating Pac's nemesis...that too turns out to be a lie.

    The stage was set, both were prime superstars, Pac beat DLH & Hatton, PBF just beat JMM...they beat each others opponents more impressively than each other, all thats left was for them 2 to fight. What a waste. HBO said it, it would be such a huge waste.

    To avoid getting thrown into jail where he would get a bigger dose of real gangsta than he ever wanted, for tax debts. And if the rumor is true that he lost all his money to a crook who ran away with it, he needs it even more than ever. That's why he also needs to land as many fights as he can, since he could not afford losing two fights in a row and then fighting for peanuts. Guess why he ducks anyone with a pulse and sign of life.
