        Seems as Alvarez is trying to get insurance for a Trout loss... He needs to understand that he would have to beat Trout in order to get a Mayweather fight. As long as that is in the contract, there shouldn't be any issues.

            Canelo should sign with Top Rank and could be one of HBO's newer stars and draws.
            That would immediately kill the Floyd fight.

                How much time do you need? 1st off Showtime is affiliated with CBS which brings in an even bigger fanbase. Then you say Floyd didnt sell until Oscar but now Floyd is the new Oscar. Infact, he's even bigger. Thats the point. As for the HBO thing, this is on Showtime and they always show the fightcamp/24/7 type stuff on basic TV also. People will see it. Not to mention you also have guys like Skip Bayless cosigning it and saying he's believing in the Ghost.

                The casual fan is more than naive enough to believe that. Also, alot of fans on here thought the JMM fight was a joke fight. The media even reported it as that. They wanted to say Floyd was too big. No one is saying that now
                That's my point, Floyd was a boxing star on his own. But he needed the exposure of a transcendant guy like Oscar to start doing big numbers. Ghost is not even on the same planet as Floyd was before he fought Oscar and there is not enough time to get him there.
                Like I said, it takes two guys with an already big fan base to put on big PPV numbers. History doesn't lie. Guerrero wouldn't be recognized in a police line up by anyone outside of hard core boxing fans and fight camp 360 isn't going to change that. Floyd needs Canelo to sell this one and Golden Boy know it, otherwise they would have told ginger to F off by now.
                The only thing getting in the way is Floyd's ego.

                    @LakerDevon @NoDoubtTrout Not true. Canelo will fightTrout but doesnt want it on Floyd's card w/out guarantee he gets Floyd if they both win

                      That's why I could never be a fan of these mainstream highly overrated fighters. You stoop to monumentally low levels to defend that guy.
