Floyd doesn't make any decisions. Haymon makes all of Floyd's decisions. Haymon will pick an opponent that's best financial wise. To me Khan is the only opponent that will sell becuz of is UK and Middle East backing. If there was a hot Latin fighter at Floyd's weight Haymon would have choose him.
What adaptations will he make?
Will be the fastest fighter he'd come up against (faster than Zab), and he hasn't fought a fast guy in years. Mayweather has some of the best eyes and reflexes in boxing, they will be severely tested. I think he'd have to be the aggressor and his hopes will live or die with his left hook.
Floyd will continue to duck any fighter with great speed and find another slow Latin fighter for May.
this is retarded...the same people who buy Floyds fight on any day will buy them on another..it is called a fan base....and what do you mean by BROTHA????
Brotha meaning fight Porter or Thurman. I don't want to hear they don't have a fan base becuz remember Floyd's name is what sells on PPV. If Floyd's name alone is what sells why does he only fight on Latin holiday's vs a Latin fighter and a loaded Latin under card? Floyd is fast to pull the RACE CARD when it benefits him, but won't fight a Brotha and give him a payday.

Big Larry, U know I have a good point Bruh.
People didn't buy that ppv to watch Canelo or Cotto's brother.
The majority of people buying Floyd's PPV fights are Latin fight fans hoping the Latin fighter will beat Floyd. Like I said earlier have Floyd fight Porter on MLK DAY and no Latin fighters on the undercard and see how well his PPV #'s are. Tyson fought all races on any date and sold on PPV.
Canelo has had 2 ppv's on his own and together they do not add up to 1 million
Tell me how well Floyd's PPV #'s would be if he fought a brotha on MLK DAY?
People couldn't illegally stream PPVs on the internet during Tyson's time, and there were fewer alternatives for tv entertainment. There weren't 500+ TV channels and YouTube didn't exist.
It's MUCH harder to sell PPVs now a days. I know there were less cable outlets back when Tyson was fighting, but he was still making $20-$30m a fight.
Fool! My point is Tyson didn't rely on a certain Race to sell on PPV. Floyd relies heavily on the Latin RACE for his PPV #'s
His fight against Mosley sold 1.4 million buys. More PPV buys than his fights against Ortiz, Marquez, Guerrero and Maidana. But yes, of coarse Mayweather will maximize profits fighting Latin fighters on certain holidays since the Latin audience carries the sport of boxing financially to an extent. However, what "brothas" made for a high demand and attractive fight for Floyd in the past few years? He fought Mosley and was set to fight Berto (who then lost to Ortiz). Maybe Paul Williams is the only guy that made for an intriguing fight since Floyd became a PPV draw but that's all I can think of.
Ya, but guess who was on the undercard? CANELO! Thurman is the WBA #1 contender and Porter is a champ. Again Floyd said his name is what sells his fights so it shouldn't matter who and where he fights. I bet if Porter was Latin Floyd would have fought him already.

If 50 post a video of his son saying he loves 50 to get Floyd to pay up on his bet. I guarantee Floyd will say he wasn't the one who posted the challenge.
It's almost July and we're still not hearing anything from Money Mayweather, who is supposed to fight in September. Anything?
There isn't a Latin fighter fresh off of winning a title for Floyd to fight and sell his fight on a Latin Holiday.That's Floyd's MO. He rides hot Latin champs to sell his PPV. With no Latin fighter to fight Floyd the PPV King is exposed.
Mayweather Promotions obviously
Do u think Floyd is willing to put up his $ to promote his fight with a good chance of having poor PPV #'s? The only time Floyd has great PPV #'s is when he fights a big name Latin fighter and a stacked undercard of Latin fighters. Floyd claims his name is the reason for great PPV #'s let's see how great his name does without a top Latin fighter as his opponent.
It's so sad when gauging which fight Floyd will fight we come from the perspective of the opponent has to bring in tons of ppv to boost the ratings for Mayweather to make his Showtime deal with while. But i say bump that Showtime screwed themselves by guaranteeing him 32 million but that shouldn't be on thurman and . porters fault to make it worth while. they should get the right because theyre the best 147 pounds period
I agree with you. Floyd claims to only fight the best so he should fight the young top dogs regardless of their ppv #'s. Floyd claims to be the reason he's the ppv king so it shouldn't matter who he fights for great ppv's.
He has been ill advised for years, hence the reason he has still got one of the worst deals in boxing with Top Rank.
TBE knew to leave Top rank many years ago and look at him now,
I worry that pacquiao has people around him who are clearly just taking advantage of the fact that he is not an educated person.
I think he will end up broke like Tyson.
Where do you think Pacquiao would be now if he had Al Haymon as an advisor?
Floyd will end up broke before PAC will. Floyd has people around him that are taking advantage of him for $. Plus Floyd's life style will cause him to be broke when boxing is over.
There are talks about him making a big announcement after the Maidana rematch. I can think of two things that can be considered a "big announcement" a Pacquiao fight or a Cotto rematch, which one will it be?
He's probably gonna fight Canelo again.
you do know that Floyd already dominated Canelo without fighting that way so dont try to compare there styles
I didn't say anything about Floyd fighting Canelo. I said if Floyd fights Maidana in the rematch the way Lara fought Canelo.
Yes he does, ya'll just choose to ignore all the positive and focus on the negative
What positive things has Sr said about anyboxer? What's funny is if it wasn't for Floyd Jr would Sr or Roger be considered elite trainers? I don't know any of the fighters they have in their stable. Roach and Garcia have multiple champs in their stable.
Ok they train their family...Floyd Jr...his father created him and Roger helped mold him..he was their project..now name me one fighter Roach or Garcia has built from the ground up..I'LL WAIT!!!! and what positive things has he said..hell in the interview just posted he clearly praised Cotto
For one I said who do they train now? U doin't have champion fighters going to their gym to have them as trainers. Tell me other champs that they currently train other than Floyd? NOW I'LL WAIT!!!!!! How many Trainer Of The Year Awards have they received for training multiple champs in a year?
I know what you said but my point is he wouldnt just like he didnt fight Canelo that way. Floyd might move or box but it wont look like that. He's more techniqal, steady on his feet, better footwork, rhythm. He can sit down when he wants, come forward, change up the looks
Cool! I see your point.
