    Couldn't hurt having Floyd work with him, I wonder if Floyd would be able to effectively work as a trainer for top fighters since it doesn't look like we'll ever see him in a real boxing match again.

      Floyd way to interested in himself to dedicate his time and attention to someone else.

      look at the way he manages tank for an example.

      he talks about himself during the interviews with tank just sitting there in the background

        Still, I'd like to see the results of a young fighter taken under his tutelage for some length of time.

        At this point he is out of elite competition and might do some exhibition stuff but likely will never fight a world class welter again.

          Floyd is a real businessman and knows where the money is. He just want some penny from Joshua knowing Joshua is now worth $100 miliion...

              A heart and a chin. What two things can't Mayweather give Joshua which Joshua so desperately needs.

                Floyd was consulted that his circus fights were probably not a good idea during pandemic times since nobody would really attend, so now he’s clout chasing off Hearn’a world. Floyd knows that Hearn is the HNIC over Haymon

                  As long as Mayweather doesn't refer to himself in 3rd person, it couldn't hurt to learn a thing or two.

                    Be a good idea from the business standpoint I think, Attaching Floyd's name might well boost US sales. Question is whether his fees would outweigh the increase in revenue.

                    I'm unconvinced that a few weeks or a few tweaks under Floyd would make a significant difference to Joshua's chances in the ring though..
