If anything were to improve Floyd “Money” Mayweather‘s public perception with both the fans and the media this is something I think Floyd should consider. Why?
He has nothing to lose and everything to gain by doing this. He reestablishes his stock. The fans will look at this as a favor by Floyd making it a free HBO event. It will maximize his exposure to the audience old and new.
It would be much better and more action-packed than De La Hoya vs. Forbes debacle. HBO would heavily promote this WCB event and most likely would not offer Floyd anything less than 5-6 Million to take the fight.
The fight could be a fight that would not present an actual threat to Mayweather and would avoid the inevitable criticism for the fact that is a “free” fight.
The fight could be against a naturally bigger opponent or faster opponent and act as a real tune up for “Money” if he fights Pacquiao or Cotto.
This fight would pretty much act as a big promotional event for the next fight that would be the fight of the decade for sure.
He could only look good perception wise and physically wise if he made a fight like this happen early next year. The fight would be on all Mayweather’s terms. Money would make a decent pay check, stay active make HBO happy and would bring the channel World Class Boxing’s biggest ratings win ever.
Possible opponents for a fight like this.
Collazo ( A recognizable name, Southpaw, Marketable look, minimal threat, lacks punching power but will make for an interesting fight) Great for Pacquiao Preparation.
Cintron ( A recognizable name, Puerto Rican, Poses small threat but very vulnerable, Mayweathers mind games would destroy Cintron before they enter the ring) Great for Cotto Preparation
There are certainly more that would be mentioned.
This is just my take. Feel free to add yours.
Hopefully this isn’t just wishful thinking.
**** that!!!..good idea...but Marquez was a tuneup..i ONLY want to see Mayweather beat Cotto, Pac & Mosley and leave .....
