Because Floyd never wanted the fight. Boxers who make take-it-or-leave it stances are not interested in things like proving themselves -- they're scared; getting pleasure from giving fans all over the world what they want to see; benefit of seeing the sport thrive and flourish. Floyd has none of that.
I think he's ducking Canelo. That means Floyd will be eventually forced to negotiate the Pac fight next year to avoid the Ginger Kid. That fight is higher risk, lower reward.
Clock is ticking for Floyd now. If he ducks Pac all the way to retirement, which is not far off, he will go down in history as a scared boxer, just like what uncle Roger says. That's why Pac can demand 60 and Floyd will take it at this point. He has nowhere else to go. Pac should stick with his 45/45, winner takes the 10.

Pac is giving Floyd a little chance to recover his reputation of being a coward and redeem himself somewhat, yet Floyd refuses help.
