    What's Floyd Mayweather Jr's worth...

    He was offered $8million by Golden Boy Promotions but turned it down
    and asked for a guaranteed $20million.

    Some say $8million is absurd, others say 20million is too much.

    What's he really worth...what do you guys think?

    Considering who he will face..

    PBF against... MOSLEY?
    PBF against... PACQUIAO?
    PBF against...COTTO?

      Depends on who he is fighting, you dont get 20 mil for fighting Mosely but he should get 20 for Pac. Floyd knows this, 20 mil for Mosely is a number for them to meet him somewhere in between, thats what negotiating is all about. Hey the man is retired, if they didnt want to see him fight they wouldnt be offering him even 8 million which is alot of money. When you retire at the top youre in such great demand.

        u gotta remember that there is two fighters to pay not one and a fighter like pacquiao is gonna want alot of money too, so i think 8 should be enough if he wants to be greedy thats up to him but i really dont think he's gonna get 20 from fighting anyone.

            Only 8 million for a Pac fight as huge a star as Pac and May are? You have got to be kidding, there is more than enough to go around especially if Pac beats Hatton convincingly. If Pac can stop Hatton Floyd would get 20 million or more.

                If he comes back it will be pricey because a fight against all three that you stated would have buy written all over it. I think Floyd would accept $15,000,000 because he would easily make the other $5,000,000+ from ticket sales and PPV buys... it would be a massive event regardless of whether you like him, dislike him, or neutral towards him, so I picked $15,000,000 (which is just about in the middle of what they both want).

                It is like I have said before... $8,000,000 guaranteed for Floyd to come out of retirement is way too low, and demanding $20,000,000 guaranteed for him to come out of retirement is way too high... its as simple as that.

                    Yeah this is right too because Pacquiao is also a massive draw... the fight would be massive, it would have buy written all over it and would be the biggest fight for years to come. It would generate A LOT of cash for both parties to remain happy.
