why won't Floyd fight Martinez or Pacquiao? Martinez agreed to come to 150 for the fight and offered him 80% of the money. Martinez is way more of a challenge at 150 than Cotto was at 154. Martinez would KO Cotto at 154. Let's not ignore teh elephant in the room--Cotto wasn't the best competition at 154 for that fight.
why won't Floyd fight Pacquiao? He essentially said last week he wouldn't fight him because his "health was more important" suggesting Pacquiao was on 'roids. Pacquiao agreed to take the WADA/Olympic style tests. What is the issue here? Money? It was never issue in the prior negotiations. Why is it here? Granted, getting Arum to risk his cash cow in this fight will be difficult too, but Floyd has shown little interest in making this fight recently.
Floyd's always been in the driver's seat for superfights because everybody good wants to fight him. That's where the money is. The problem is that if Floyd agrees to fight you, he's already concluded that he can't lose the fight. He won't fight anybody that has a chance. That is pathetic. Martinez and Pacquiao have a chance, so Floyd has ruled them out. That is awful.
