If it's so easy why can't Floyd, who's his own boss and can fight anybody he wants, strike a deal with Pacquiao or Top Rank and make the fight happen?
When you have a product that people want, you don't have to sell it, you just have to make it available to those who want to buy it. This fight doesn't need to be sold, it just needs to happen, it will sell itself. It's Guaranteed money for all those involved.

If Manny demolishes his next opponent, Floyd Sr will do just like he did when Manny fought Cotto.
Before the fight "Cotto is too big, too skilled for Manny. Cotto is going to win"
After the fight "I don't want to see my son, Floyd, fight Manny"

Pac don't deserve the fight, but Canelo did (best win Austin Trout). Pac don't deserve the fight, but Guerrero did (best win Andre Berto). Khan may be getting the fight, and is coming off a life and death victory over a D class fighter who had Amir out on his feet. But naaahh, Pac don't deserve it.
Pac brings BY FAR the most money of any opponent on earth, and FMJ's nickname is "Money". It's a supposed easy victory, supposedly the easiest bus load of cash he'll ever make, yet they're not eager to make it happen? It just doesn't make any sense at all. It's mind boggling.
**** like this is why people hate boxing.
Guerrero beat Aydin (for the interim title, Aydin was #1 contender and undefeated). He became Floyd's mandatory challenger just from that alone. He then increased his stock position by beating Berto. Guerrero was coming off 2 solid wins at Welterweight. Guerrero earned the shot @ 147.
How are you comparing this to Rios? Makes no sense. Rios didn't earn his shot against Pacquaio. Marquez and Bradley deserve the Mayweather lottery more than Pacquaio does. But despite that, I'd rather see a Mayweather-Pacquaio fight just because I'm tired of all the talk.Last edited by radioraheem; 11-26-2013, 11:06 PM.

And even if your answer is yes to that, isn't this at the end of the day prize fighting? Isn't Floyd Mayweather Jr's middle name "Money"?
This is the biggest money making fight STILL to this day. And by far. Nothing else is even in the same galaxy.
So WTF is up with all of the road blocks? And no, I'm not foolish enough to sit here and say that it's all 100% Floyd's fault. Of course Arum & Manny have a role in that as well. But damn bro, it sure as hell don't seem like the Floyd camp is eager for what would be the biggest payday of his life and what is also supposedly "easy money"
