Why didn't HBO want Mayweather/Prince Naz

In his prime, NO ONE wanted a piece of Floyd. Floyd was getting ducked in his prime while guys like Calzaghe were SILENTLY padding their resumes WITH BUMS, to now be considered ATG. LOLOLOL And you want credit to those guys? No wonder Mayweather grew to be bitter towards boxing and now think of himself first and money second. I'd do the same.Comment

That fight would have been huge. Naz should have fought Morales instead of Barrera. Barrera did something he never did before tactically box instead of brawl n mix it up. Naz and his team where not ready for that. FLoyd would have won but we would have for sure seen how good PBF's chin was after that fight.Comment

But then again I wonder if a catch weight fight would have drained Floyd?
Morales is one of my favoritesComment

Here is the answer from a prince fan. Floyd wanted the fight at 130 and was willing to go as low as 128. Prince killed it by saying im a featherweight and only fight at 126. So in order for the fight to happen, floyd would have to come down to 126.
Floyd would have schooled prince though but there was no chance in hell of him making 126. Whether you agree with it or not, Prince was the bigger name at the time, bigger draw than anyone below 135, and had alot of options. He could pick and choose especially with guys like Barrera, Morales, Tapia, Ayala and a few others moving up willing to face him. Barrera, Morales and Tapia would have all been bigger fights for him at the time compared to mayweather due to their fan base at the time and the wars they had leading up to the fight. That may anger some floyd fans but I was a fan of floyd back then and he wasnt the draw he was until he beat oscar several years later. Barrera and Morales had huge buzzes due to their epic 1st fight so fans knew a fight with Naz would have been exciting.
So Naz really didnt duck Floyd its just he held all the cards and went after what he felt were the bigger fights.Comment
