    Has a floyd fight been announced?

    The date is supposed to be May 4th. We're halfway through January. Training camp is 2 months. That's all of March and April. Floyd always says it takes 6 months to promote a fight. We're 3 1/2 months away. What are they waiting on?

      kinda off the original topic but that part about him being able to keep the belts contrary to sanction rules really show how much of a joke these titles are

        Maybe it'll be like Pac/Bradley, where we know it's going to happen and the official announcement kind of just sneaks in

          My guess is that the September guarantee is the main issue holding everything up.

            you are probably right. But I hope floyd canelo isn't pre arranged. It makes both fights on May 4th questionable when the 2 biggest fighters have a fight already signed down the road.

            I hate when this is done.

                You really think he's fighting Canelo in September?

                Floyd hates when other fighters make huge amounts money off his name. I bet he will demand a very high share of the purse to fight Canelo because you have an unproven fighter who hasn't beaten anyone getting a record payday off his name. I can't see how he would be cool with that.

                And now this kid is going to try to call the shots and dictate when the fight with Floyd will happen?

                  im sure they will. I just don't like when fights are pre signed so far in advance. if floyd or canelo loses it messes things up. SO, when i'm watching, I have that in the back of my mind and if something controversial or a close fight occurs, Im going to think the outcome was fixed to protect the next fight.
