I don't know. I don't have a bank statement of his handy. Like I said before, I don't give a damn how much money he makes. I'm just telling you that money plays a big part in his decision making. He's trying to do what makes the most money, not what has the most risk. Don't mistake this for fear, it's just smart business. Floyd isn't scared of a damn soul at welterweight. You can take that to the bank.

Lol see now you're getting somewhere! Imagine the so-called best fighter in the world coming back and actually taking a risk! That's just crazy talk right? Imagine that....boxing and risk sounds like an interesting combination. Leonard came back and fought some guy named Hagler.
Asking me whether or not I think he should come back and take a risk is just not even worth answering. I should probably jump into an drained pool to avoid from drowning, too risky.
Yes I expect him to take a risk, he is the greatest fighter in the world(ACCORDING TO HIMSELF AND HIS FANS) right so nothing he does should be too risky if you truly believe that, with risk comes great reward, life isn't just about cashing a check you are aware of that right? Again this isn't a ****ing rap video where fans care about the money you have.Last edited by switchsouthpaw; 11-16-2009, 10:37 PM.Comment

Look I'm not here to insult you, but don't insult my intelligence by propping up a baseless argument about money playing a part in negotiations. Yes everything is a business, but integrity plays a part as well, there comes a time when you have to ask yourself am I doing this just to be rich, or I am doing this to be great. Floyd has answered the first part of that question, he is already rich, now go about being great.
I'm not saying he can't do it. I respect his talent immensely, in fact I think he beats whoever they put in front of him, but he stills needs to fight and prove it.Comment

You are truly ridiculous. Again, why did he go back down after his fight with Collazo if he was so comfortable at 147. Your evidence in support of your argument is that Hatton said he was comfortable at 147??? Really?? Then you must have believed him when he said he was going to beat PBF and Pac then. Hatton is and was a limited fighter that made the best of what he had and also had the advantage of mostly fighting in England where the refs allowed his roughouse tactics. He moved up to challange himself (props to him for doing something Pac is loathe to do) and get a huge paycheck.
Hatton moved up to 147 to win a title then challenged Mayweather for another title. If you are telling me Ricky Hatton wasnt effective and was overweight @145lbs vs Mayweather when he fought his entire career @140lbs then I would say to you that Ricky Hatton is the bumb of all bumbs and any fighter who beat him shouldnt get credit because he is merely a british hype job who was wrongfully the undisputed champ @140, was undefeated was propelled into the #5 Pound for Pound spot for no reason and once he got to Mayweather, the great white hype was exposed......
its Quite funny that posters think Hatton was unable to fight @ 147 when Hatton himself said that fighting @ WW wasnt a problem
Get in in your head man. Pac's victory over Hatton at 140 is much more significant than PBF's. It's not even debatable.Comment

Actions speak louder than words. Like he has said, he doesn't fight for the fans or for legacy, just for the money. That makes him a great businessman but also a great disappointment in boxing terms. If he steps up and fights Pac and Mosley and beats them I will give him his due. In fact, I will give him his due even if he loses because the ATGs always lose at some point precisely because they keep challenging themselves.
Bottom line, PBF hasnt done anything of ATG significance in eight years. And it's a damn shame because he is amazingly gifted.Comment
