Why is Floyd not fighting Pacquiao

yep because all fights in 2011 are tax free.

lol

they aren't fighting because one of them would lose (actually, DRAW is possible I guess).

Neither of these guys will ever again fight someone with a chance to beat them, whether it's their choice or their promoter's.

gotta love boxing.

I think it could be due to tax purposes. If Floyd were to fight Pacman in Nov. the IRS will take a huge cut from his two big paydays this year. So hopefully he opts to take the fight next year, but if Floyd doesnt fight Pac in 2011.. well, you know the rest.....

If you say so, I'm sure Floyd would be happy with you saying that. If more people were reading this.

Why are people still spewing this bull****?

Do you ******s not pay taxes, or just too young and don't understand how they work?

He makes so much money in 1 fight, he's already in the highest tax bracket. It doesn't matter if he fought once or 20 times in one year, he'd still be taxed the same amount (35% this year).

In fact, the tax cuts end this year, so he'll be paying MORE next year, 39.6%

lack of fan support

If he was from a boxing obsessed country he would literally have no choice.

So you don't think Margarito is dangerous or have a chance?
