    I'm not defending anything. I'm saying that it should be a non-event for those who are not interested.

    It makes me chuckle to hear all the same guys who complain incessantly about how "boring" Floyd is then complain about how he won't fight often enough. Or fight the guys they want/like.

    I don't watch Seattle Seahawks or Oakland Raiders or Sacramento Kings or Man City games. I just don't care about them.

    If you don't care about something or someone, then ignore it.

    As somebody who cares a lot about the business of boxing (and i respect that you cats don't), I look at it differently. I see Floyd's big sales filling up the HBO coffers, which in turn funds B.A.D. opportunities for other fighters. Ever consider that component?

            My faith mandates that I avoid certain types of discussions and language.

            Repeated profanity, arguing, angry words, etc are haram.

            I'm here to learn and to share info. Not to argue or curse at people.

                I consider any fight where Floyd is fighting against a legitimate threat an exciting fight.

                Wouldn't fighting the best of the best fill up HBO's coffers, as you put it, more than any other fight? Surely if May fights Pac, Cotto, Mosley, Williams, those fights would generate more revenue than him fighting a no name Mexican prospect right?

                      Yes. May-Moz would def do more sales than May-Carrot Top.

                      But If he doesn't want to fight Moz, and has told him as such, what can you do?

                      Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that Floyd is 100% willing to fight Pac?
