Why would Floyd want to fight March 13th ?

[Derranged_]

As I’m reading news and threads here, a lot folks still seem to think that Floyd will be fighting on March 13th. To me, this does not make any kind of business sense. First of all, PPV cards do not fair well when competing against other PPV cards. Further to that, competing with a huge ppv draw like Manny Pacquaio, is guaranteed to limit the number of ppv buys you can sell. Also, Floyd is a HBO fighter and I don't see him fighting on another network....

IDK, maybe I’m missing the point here, but why would both Mayweather and Pacquaio fight on the same night, if they’re not facing one another. I think half the people on boxingscene would buy the Floyd card while the other half would buy the Pacquiao card (I’d buy the Pacqaio card). Actually, I think a lot of people here would buy both cards!..…

Someone please address this issue...

Why not fight on March 13, he stays sharp, he makes some money, he moves on to the Mosley-Berto winner in the Summer, I doubt it will be May 1. Also, Shane and Berto will both do what they got to do to make the fight happen so Floyd should take his March 13th date, stay sharp and see Mosley in the future. He doesn't have to be concerned with PPV numbers or upstaging Pac Clottey cause like I said, the biggest fight of the year is going to be May-Mosley regardless.

Fighting at the same date as Manny keeps peoples attention on that big clash. And the pac fight is basically the only big fight Floyd wants so he bides his time fighting tune-ups and never risking his precious 0.

Floyd has fought 12 rounds since December 2007. That's why.

Financially it doesn't make $ense for Mayweather. This guy has a huge ego and is not going to be outdone by Pacman. I think the sensible thing would be to fight in April or May when you don't have to compete against another big PPV event..

Also, if Floyd does fight the same night, is he gonna fight on HBO? Probably not b/c HBO doesn't have the $$$ to buy two high profile cards. Honestly, I don't see how it can happen. Give a me feasible scenario where both fighters fight on the 13th...

Kind of sad that all you have left in the boxing world is hating on other fighters now that you're idol has proven to be another overrated Euro bum like I was telling you for the past 2 years.
