    Canelo likely wins one or two rounds vs Floyd. Guerrero wins 1 or 2 rounds against Floyd. What's the difference?

    Because Floyd is a ****ing risk averse ***** and he wants to see how the ginger does against a real opponent.
     
  4. Its about the way Alvarez went about it. He gave Floyd an ultimatum and there is no way that Floyd Mayweather is going to bow down to a 22 year old, unproven boxer's demands.

    Canelo can go **** himself with the way hes approaching all this. He knows how floyd operates. To go cry to the media like that every week is making me loose respect from his Diva ass. Dunni WTF hes trying to accomplish

    What exactly would be the advantage to Floyd to signing to fight Alvarez now? With or without a guarantee, Mayweather can fight him not if he wants. There seems to be no logical reason for Mayweather to lock himself in at this point. Am I missing something here?

    Two things about that. 1, they've done research on this, and the research shows that fans buy ppvs for the main event. The undercard does very little unless its a PPV worthy fight itself. 2, Mayweather has proven to be a big draw on his own. So why again does he need Canelo on the card? If Canelo could bring in significant buys fighting Trout, that fight would be headline ing it's own PPV.
