    What will Floyd do if the fight can't be made?

    Its looks like Manny has a few options already. What will Floyd do? Retire? Fight Martinez or Cotto at 154? I don't see him fighting below 147 or above 154.


    Berto?

    Martinez for the MW title. Seems like the only fight out there where he can get his usual $20 mil plus guarantee. Unless he fights cotto and pac fights marg which seems unlikely.

      chill out. Spend money. Tell people how much money he's spending. Do interviews talking about music. Do interviews talking about anything but boxing. Talk music. Tickle behind the back of 50Cents knees.

      then he'll get hit by the tax man.

      then he'll be back.

      then he'll be in the only place the world wants him.

      THE RING.

        Dancing With the Stars again.





        Or maybe WWE?






        Other than maybe Sergio Martinez I don't see him fighting if he doesn't fight Pac.

          You think he can get 20 mills for Martinez? I doubt it, but it looks like an option.

            Martinez is "hot" right now. HBO likes him and looks like they would put full weight behind this fight. Lets say they pay $25 mil for the fight. Martinez' would take prob take $5-6 mil, which is triple his biggest payday. That leave s floyd $19-20 mil. What do you think?

              The Martinez fight would be big. They would do a 24/7 for it which would hype it even more, It would be a big deal to see if Floyd could win the Middleweight title. I can't remember any fighters of this era who won titles from 130 to 160. If Floyd did it, and picked up his 6th WBC belt along the way. That would be a big deal and a big fight.

                  Does anyone here really think Berto deserves to fight any legitimate fighter? I still havent been impressed with him in one fight, i think hes awful. He carries around too much weight.

                    It could be, but I don't see Floyd moving all the way up to 160. Maybe he will make it a catchweight of 155? For Oscar Floyd weighted in at 150.
