The fight that makes the most money is the one that will get made. And if not, then it's the runner-up that will get made.
Canelo, Pacquaio, and Cotto 2 are all more likely to be Floyd's next fight rather than Martinez. And it's because of money. Similarly, Martinez will not get into the ring with Andre Ward because of money. Why face Andre Ward and make a purse less than what he made with Chavez Jr? Why fight anyone else when it'll be for less money if he can legitimately fight Chavez Jr again next? That 12th round knockout was like a miracle from heaven for the promoters. The rematch will get made.
