Floyd 'hurts' Team MAyweather if he doesn't choose to fight. But he isn't hurting the sport. Similarly, it hurt the Lions org, but not "the sport", when Barrry retired.
Floyd's career and legacy is his. Solely. He can do what he wants with it. For any fan to get angry is ludicrous. I am not one of the fans - of any sport - that feels an athlete "owes" me something. Honest performances in the ring. That's it. If John Daly, who is very talented, wants to drink his career away...HIS career. There will be someone else to take his spot.
Floyd isn't taking anything away from anyone. Not licensing fees, not WCB or BAD dates, not promotional budgets or efforts, nothing. Floyd's imprint is such that you should be able to strike a line through his name and it not affect anyone else. That is essentially what happened the past two years.
He tells Shane. "Not interested. Do you". If Floyd strung Shane along "I'll fight you...wait...wait...wait". And then he pulled out, then yes. That would be jacked up. He isn't doing that. He told all those guys to go do their thing.
Mangler and I had this discussion earlier, and it is one of the few "Mr Boat buyer" things we agree on: Floyd isn't ruining anything for anybody.
I hate Oscar but I will admit that his overrated ass helped boxing. When he was the face. He helped put Pac on the map, Floyd on the map, Tito on the map, Mosley became more of a household name fighting Oscar. If he never fought Floyd, Tito, Mosley bro that would of hurt boxing. Just like Floyd would hurt boxing if he takes this.
But, you keep going and try to defend his actions
