    He wanted to fight Pacquiao, the no. 1 p4p fighter, but he was already set to fight Cotto.

    He chose to fight Marquez, the no. 2 p4p fighter, who was following Pacquiao up in weight for a well-deserved 3rd fight and who called Mayweather out cause Pacquiao wanted no part of it.

    & now he's fight Mosley, the no. 3 p4p fighter, the best ww in the world & a very tough challenge to any fighter regardless of age.

    Ok. But will digress on the first point, if he wanted to fight pac on his first fight after retirement, he should have just waited 1 day to conclude the pac-hat bout. Because of that move, I feel he really wanted Marquez first to make Pac look bad.

      So you think he really had less than 6mill in his account? Im sure "Money" missed the big checks and it helped motivate him to come back but it had nothing to do with the IRS. Dude walks around with more than a mill on him

        Wrong...It was the IRS. I don't care how many stars you dance with, you ain't making 6 million dollars. Don't get it twisted, he was getting tired of hearing about Manny, but the main reason he came back was to make money the easiest possible way he can.

            I already told yall he was ripped off. You sure you guys are boxing fans? He got ripped off in a ponzi scheme. The dude Big Willie told Floyd he could take a mill of floyds money and turn it into a lot more in a week. So Floyd gives him a Mill he flips it comes back with Floyds money. So Floyd gives him almost all his money and the dude disappeared. Never has been seen again. He was ripped off, that's why hes back.

            Floyd was so desperate he was about to Sign with Don King.

                  Dont get it twisted, it was money. If he was concerned with the P4P status, he would still be fighting.

                    Didn't he announce his comeback fight vs Marquez the day of Pacquiao-Hatton???? So was Pac already signed to fight Cotto????
