He'll either retire, or go back to wrestling. I seriously doubt he gets in the ring with either fighter. Im almost 100% certain he doesnt. Reason being? When Arum made Floyd the $8mil offer to fight Margarito, Floyd had yet to secure an opponent for his ppv date. He then went desperately scrambling for an opponent, when all along, Margarito was the only one willing to step in the ring with him. Not to mention, Margo was the #1 ranked WW at the time. Floyd went looking for fights with Shane (even though Shane had already stated that he will be taking the rest of the year off). He even went as low as to try to secure a fight with Cory Spinks! (Thank god that idea got shut down). Floyd ONLY choices were Margarito, or Baldomir (given Baldo beat Gatti). Floyd crossed his fingers, and prayed to the gods in hope of a Baldomir win. So my question is, if all along he had the option of fighting the #1 ranked WW for a career high payday, why wait, gamble, and risk losing out, in hopes that Baldomir beats Gatti? What would Floyd have done if Gatti won? There is no way on earth Gatti's people or HBO would've let that happen again, so what would Floyd have done? Would he just have let his ppv date go, just so he didnt have to face Margarito? Its definitely something to think about.
Can anyone come up with a logical answer to the question in the last sentence? I've asked it several times over the past year, and im yet to get an honest answer.
