    Should FLOYD MAYWEATHER take a stay busy fight in the UK in Jan or Dec?

    I am not talking about a megafight which must be in vegas in order to make the most money. I am taking about a stay busy fight in which he can showcase his skills, get some work in, and sharpen his arsenol for his next MEGA MATCH !!

    It would be very rational for him not to take another 5-8 month lay-off after he was just off for 2 years....Mayweather Said he was alittle bit rusty so if he is trying to get his skills sharper SINCE HE IS ALITTLE BIT OLDER.
    What better way than a stay busy fight?

    like I said before Juilo Ceasar Chavez use to take stay busy fights all the time he used to fight every month fighting fighters with only 3 career pro fights when he has already fought 60+ fights...

    Furthermore Thats why I said he could do the fight in the UK..Build up his base more over there and after that fight HE CAN put his fight with Pacquaio or Cotto on P.P.V in the UK RATHER THAN JUST HAVE IT ON SKY SPORTS...
    if Amir Khan fights are on P.P.V in the UK.. Floyd Mayweather should make it his mission to get his fights on P.P.V in the UK....

    And the best way to do that, is to start fighting in the UK.
    and what better way to start fighting in the UK than with a stay busy fight?

    There is not enough money to be made in the UK.

      Nah, I dont think so. There are really no stay busy guys around the division. Theyre are only top guys. The only stay busy fights are guys like Berto & Collazo but you might as well get paid to fight them. I do think that if Pac loses then Floyd may should fight someone else before fighting Shane or Cotto. IDK if I would physicaly want to jump straight from JMM to a Mosley or Cotto after a 2 year layoff. It may be a shock to his system

        I hope your joking... With enough popularity, it would be easy to sell 600-800k
        PPV buys.

          He should fight in the UK in December. Just so I can go and watch the fight.

            Would be a good idea to take a stay busy fight anywhere, but I don't think Floyd will do it. I think he'll wait for a another big payday. Floyd's last three fights have been huge financially for him and I don't think he'd have it any other way.

              Boxing is not popular enough here to sell those numbers especially for a foreign fighter. Who would he fight worthwhile from Britain?

              The only way I see the fight selling big is if he fought someone British as big as Hatton again and that's not going to happen.

                That's the point of a tuneup fight to me.. Take a stay busy fight over there in December to get his poularity up. The UK fans already love Floyd after the Hatton fight.. After he fights there again and maybe puts on a good show, then his next mega-fight against you all know who, could be put on PPV over there to instead of free.

                  lets say he took a stay busy fight against kell brock or junior witter...
                  that would be a perfect stay busy fight for him....

                  although Kell does have a fight at the end of the month with Jennings

                    It makes perfect sense...way not..
                    like I said if the UK fans would pay to see Amir Khan...
                    The would pay to see Floyd Mayweather...
                    but he needs to fight their first...
                    perfect way...
                    is to do a stay busy fight
