      The only fight Mayweather should be taking in December should be against Shane Mosley.

        Floyd is a great business man. before Al Haymon Floyd was a millionaire.
        Al haymon didnt make Floyd a Millionaire. Floyd Mayweather made Floyd Mayweather a millionaire.

        he was making more money fighting
        DeMarcus Corley
        Henry Bruseles
        Arturo Gatti
        Sharmba Mitchell
        Phillip N'dou

        than Winky Wright was Fighting Shane Mosley...
        So Floyd is a great businessman.
        2 things noboDy can hate on about Floyd. Cant hate on his talent,,,and you cant hate on the fact that he is a great Businessman.


        And once again.
        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...

        was that a slap to the sport?
        GTFO..
        We're going in circles because you can't comprehend the notion that Boxing is not aired on network TV because the money isn't there. It is why Boxing left network TV in the 1st place, but yet you assume Floyd is this brilliant businessman to where he could just up and walk to NBC or ABC and make a card happen because he's Floyd. The networks don't care. It's bad enough we can't get decent undercards on PPV, but a network that hasn't aired Boxing in close to 20 years is going to put together this meaningless card and make Floyd the headliner against Joe Smith? You think audiences are that naive?

        How much would you be willing to bargain that Floyd fights Mosley, Cotto, or Pacquiao next?

          Floyd is a bigger Attraction than MMA he prove that on Sept 19th.
          Floyd is a bigger Attraction than Pacquiao he prove that on Sept 19th
          Floyd is the Biggest Draw in combat sports PERIOD!!!!

          MEN LIE
          WOMEN LIE
          FACTS DONT
          If given the chance
          Networks would choose Mayweather over any combat fighter in sports because he has proven he is the Biggest Draw !! Numerically and Factually..

          Mayweather just needs to decide what kind of Icon he wants to be a National or Global ....

          isten the more Floyd fights the better boxing is...
          ike Ali, and tyson used to do.
          especially if he starts fighting in other countries...

              Mayweather vs Jennings in the UK

              or is that fight too risky?

              no thanks.

                LOL see what I mean? You ASSUME the networks are going to dish out money for Floyd. But they're not, because he stands to make more money fighting on PPV. Floyd hasn't fought on Regular HBO for years let alone network TV.

                Floyd isn't trying to be a global star, he's about his money and he knows who gives it to him. He won't see PPV revenues from network TV nor will network TV promote an event like HBO does (which is really who sells Floyd's fights).

                Again dude, you oversell Floyd like he's the Michael Jackson of Boxing. Floyd vs Marquez did a Million buys because of how well HBO once again promoted the fight. Floyd going to network TV would be like being an FBI agent being demoted to deputy of such and such county. It's like you're asking for a paycut on purpose. No network is paying Floyd a guaranteed $10 million and trust me he's fighting for nothing less.

                  I think he should fight in the UK, but whenever there is a thread about Floyd, there are haters!!! Nothing positive can be mentioned about him without someone digging deep to bring up something negative.

                    I doubt he would consider this but yeah that'd be great and I imagine it would generate a lot of excitement over here. Maybe he could whoop Khan for us

                      I was thinking the same. Mayweather wait, didn't he have a 2 year layoff? Why not a stay busy fight against Isaac Hlatshwayo (IBF WW Champ) or Cory Spinks (IBF Jr MW Champ) or Clottey. Those are good stay busy fights.
