    Find it hard to believe Money would fight such a no name as Alexander,who brings no fan base or excitement to the fight.Floyd is blowing hot air and is no doubt a ploy to get Guerrero to sign the contract.

    Even with Brook-Alexander on the Detroit card,less than 300 tickets had been sold.Neither of them are a draw here.

    Do people think Brook will get an opponent on the 23rd?As said,hes trained for a long time.Alexander is injured so they cant vacate the title.Is Kell and his management prepared to fight a non title fight.If so it would rescue the bill somewhat,as people over there will have bought tickets and many over here will want to see it on TV.

    Mike Jones would be a cracking fight.

    I don't have a great issue with the floyd-Alexander fight. It is better than floyd-ghost imo.
    After Bradley, Marquez and Pac Alexander is next best imo.

    Forgot to say that I dont think Kell will fight on that date.Itll probably be rescheduled,and happen in the summer,possibly.Wish someone like Mike Jones would step in,think that would be a good fight.But its probably too short notice.

    According to Hearn then it's doubtful since the IBF rules state neither Brook or Alexander can fight anyone else before each other or they will lose their positions. And without this mandatory spot what exactly has Kell Brook got?

    Yep - No tickets sold - pull the headline fight off the bill, meaning the purses won't have to be paid out of it.

    In the meantime, Mayweather is having trouble negotiating with Guerrero, whois playing hardball as he knows that Floyd doesn't have a great deal of options. Then Devon becomes available, so Floyd uses his name to pressure the Ghost into signing.

    Simples.

    He should of fought Bradley. Never pass on a title shot, nothing is ever certain.

    He is very known quantity in Cali-Las Vegas areas and the big networks know him.He is a much bigger attraction than Alexander PLUS don't forget this fight is on the Mexican holiday and Money fighting an Afro-American with NO fan base is ridiculous.
    Nobody on this side of the Atlantic believes Moneys tweet.
