Pre-Mayweather era, which notable fights fell apart because "muh A side", "muh split"?

[Silence]

Most of SRL and ODLH's fights.

There's literally a demographic that believes Floyd invented negotiating. Contrary to the narrative Floyd haters are trying to push, politics has always been a part of fight making. Quit living in your fantasy world that never existed.

Answer the question and list the fights then.

Dempsey-Wills

Brother I respect the fact you are a Mayweather fan but you’d be lying to yourself if you really believe yourself that Floyd had fugh all to do with this
Tell you what , imo , more blame can and should be laid on Al Haymon cause he was the brains behind it
We all know it wasn’t Floyd’s gig , he just followed the plans to a tee , I must say
It wasn’t the negotiating part that he remastered but the way to negotiate came into play big time

The only fault Floyd has in this, is that somehow this new generation forgot that Floyd paid his dues and earned the top spot. He wasn't born the A-side or "cash cow". He worked his way there and eventually guys were scratching and clawing to fight him like they do Canelo now.

Which Mayweather fights fell apart due to money? If you want to count his financial spat with Bob over the Margarito/Cotto/De la Hoya plan that's fine, but Floyd was right and I think history more than proves this.

Everyone wants to be Floyd in this respect, but very few of them want to earn it the way he did.

I’ll give you that , yes he did earn and also forgot how he got there
No fighter can do what Floyd did and im not talking about his skills either
He got lucky , timing 2as right and the plan worked in his favour
But the fact that he promoted that 0 like it was he best thing since sliced bread , yeah fughin right I put some blame on him
The true and real culprit is Al Haymon

Agree but you can only do it from a very high place, you have to earn the negotiating power Floyd had, he played the game like a master and people don't equate that to being a great fighter, they kind of lose that within the road to being the highest paid sportsmen in history and a boxer, love him or hate him the guy came out on top in a very unforgiving sport.

Definitely, totally agree but he forgot how he got there
Floyd knew that some of the boxers that he’s giving advice to would never be on the stage he is all around
That also is all part of the equation because or else it won’t fly with just him
Anyway he portrayed to be the smart guy but behind the scenes you know this was all collaborated by Al Haymon
He’s the mastermind behind this movement
When he was gonna get involved more in the soport , I called it right away and said he would be a cancer for the sport
