    Yeah, fair enough... but some things are really little and petty and uncalled for... but admittedly you are partially right.

    Floyd vs Pacquiao could easily generate the money... he earned over $20,000,000 in both Hatton and De La Hoya bouts and Pacman is a really big draw now so that could easily generate enough money so Floyd can get at least $20,000,000... though I doubt a bout with Mosley would generate enough cash.

      i dont doubt that mosley and pac will generate big numbers, but a $20 million guarantee is too much

        8 million is low esp. for the biggest fight to be made in boxing against Pacquiao. But a 20 million guarantee is absurd. 15 is the max IMO to be asking if you are really serious about returning to the ring.

          You gotta admit though he can't do anything without being criticized.
          Spacey1991 i mean no disrespect to you , I know we don't see eye to eye pn Floyd, but i got respect to you because you have mad respect for people. I can tell you got a good head on your shoulder, we are not enemies because we don't see eye to eye, that makes you intelligent. I wish all Floyd fans were like you . Unfortunate if brains were gas they wouldn't have enough gas to fill a ants motorcycle and run around a bb twice.

            Maybe 15, I agree. Like you say it is the biggest event in boxing... But guarantee Floyd wont back off 20. that will tell us.:ANYWORD:123

              its extremely silly and ridiculous to criticize Mayweather for asking for 20 million to return to a sport he retired from. it would be ridiculous to criticize him if he asked for 30 million or 50 million for that matter.

              Mayweather could ask for a unicorn and a helmet that makes him invisible and it really wouldn't matter. He's not boxing any more and fans acting like they understand the situation from any point of view that matters are still more out of line then he is.

                  jajaj Maychicken Jr, he's not the best... If he want to be the best he had to beat Cotto, Mosley or Margarito.

                    why does it hurt your feelings and make you angry that some boxer wants 20 mill to fight? who gives a **** what he wants? why do you need to make a thread and cry about it? hes retired, get over floyd mayweather jr. already.

                      I think Floyd's 20mil. response to an 8mil. offer by GBP is actually a bait to settle for a middle offer, let's say 15mil. But the world is on a crisis right now and i don't know that their is a promoter who's capable of paying that Big Amount of Money right now just to seee him do "boring" fights.
