Why Floyd is back? money? legacy?

IRS will definitely save boxing

Floyd vs Ortiz 40M$+PPV's + Floyd vs Khan 40? 50? 60M$?+PPV's > Pacquiao 52M$ last year according to Forbes..

that is minimum (without endorsements) 100M$ for floyd in two fights and that is crazy!!!!

Ortiz+Khan+Pac = 170-200M$ minimum,

we all know Pac is going to take the test next year before or after Khan (Khan is the key) if not the press/public opinion will be against Pac

so.... legacy + 200M$ is the reason...

Legacy. He knows people rubbish his resume and achievements when he visits this site and reads and posts so he knows what hes got to do.

Of course he expects to be paid a fair wage and what he thinks hes worth as well though.

The funny thing is floyd is executing a plan similar to what Leonard did in the mid eighties. His absense allows potential opponents to become bigger draws and then he takes advantage of their increased exsposure for himself.

I think he came back because its conceivable that he fights Ortiz, Pac, Khan and Canelo in order. Assuming he wins the 1st three (which I think he will be favored to do so) he could make well over $200 million for all four fights.

In a perfect world mate...in a perfect world. But hey it's Floyd so it'll all be fantasy until becoming real.

[..!?!?..]

He's back because he needs money not legacy. Mayweather's legacy cannot be change it's written in stone as the best ducker of all time.

200 million in 4 fights highly unlikely...people dont be fool by the bafoonery floyd puts out.

Floyd made between 10-12 million dollars when he was with top rank. 5 million for judah 8 million for baldimor(he claimed 8 but it was 4) 15 for both oscar and hatton( which he made about 25 miilion more on PPV buys with those two fight) if you ever look at it they say "estimated" purses because PPV buys are paid at once time and their is so much detail in recieving royalties for them. an example is some fighters split 10% of PPV buys at 49.95 a piece(4.995 for the fighters) 50/50($2.45 per order) and then after so many buys they split it 60/40 or whatever. Also remeber floyd has had some fights that didn't sell out in tickets and the 4 fights we just mentioned are his most successful.
