You guessed it, the 41-0 guy is Floyd Mayweather. The 44-0 guy would be none other then Paul Spadafora.
A stay busy fight for Floyd and a test to see how many PPV buys he can snooker the boxing fans out of. The promotion would be heavily invested into selling this fight using both guys 40+ fights and 0 losses records as an attraction. It was "WHO R U PICKING" for Mosley, it would be "44-0 vs 41-0" for this one.
Talking points for Floyd during the initial Press Conference if I were his speech writer:

Floyd: (Use your imagintion; Pretend that he stutters ee-eh, tata-ta, ho-oh in between every sentence for the purpose of reality)
"Well first of all, i'd like to thanks God because without him none of this would be possible. Here we go again, another fight, another promotion. What can I say, I'm fighting a 44-0 undefeated guy. That's my selling pitch for yall', two undefeated fighters, someone's "0" has to go and you best believe, it aint gonna be mine.
But if you aint buying that, then I got another pitch. And that's me Floyd "Money" Mayweather, The Cash Cow, The 5-division Champ, The P4P best giving a down on his luck fighter a Shot. A opportunity. You can call me the Apollo Creed of the fight game, I like giving local fighters a chance of a lifetime to fight the best. And you know, Spadafora has been almost down and out but made a comeback and has been milking his unbeaten record, holding out for a big fight to cash in on his record. And the time to cash in is now. Spadafora knows he gonna get paid fighting the Cash King. This is it, I'm gonna give him a nice payday and retirement check and send him off into the sunset.
And if you aint buying that, then perhaps you can Youtube a sparring session between me and Spadafora from years ago. Maybe after watching it, you'll buy this fight thinking that he has a chance to beat me. Hell I had to ban people from taking footage during my sparring just because of that sparring session. Because haters are quick to jump on any footage where I appear to be losing. But we both know that aint happening. The great Pernell Whitaker is supposed to be in his corner but we also know that it's just me and him when that bell rings. Pernell can't fight the fight for him."
24/7
More standard Floyd stuff, sending subliminal messages to Pacquiao with Steroid baiting.....All natural, no performance enhancers. And breaks out a new antic, wearing a T-Shirt with Paul Spadarfora on it with a 44-1 number on it, signaling Paul's first loss to come.
The Result: How many PPV's sold?
Top Ranks response to this Promotion:
Manny Pacquiao Vs Chavez Jr - in Mexico.
Billed as - 43-0 Vs "True" P4P King - as a counter promotion
