Floyd is fighting the easy opponent Maidana and publicly ducked the more difficult Khan fight but if he pretends to get knocked down in the match up...
1... it makes Broner's performance look a little less embarrassing losing to a B level opponent. It would put into people's minds that perhaps Broner wasn't so bad afterall. Basically, it could help save Broner's career from both an historical and a marketing perspective.
2. Because the fight is generally considered to be a total mismatch, if Floyd pretends to get knocked down it would then instantly justify the fight. Most people currently believe Maidana should be one of Floyd's easiest opponents to date.
3. And lastly, it would implant into people's minds that perhaps Floyd is starting to slip and so it would take away from his invulnerability factor, meaning he could then fight lesser opponents (like Maidana) for his last few fights without coming under too much criticism.
