    probably no. If it aint to make money he is not gonna put himself against top talent at 154. Only at 147

      I actually wouldn't want to see Trout/Mayweather, even-though I think Trout would be in the position to get it. Funny that you mention Martinez, cuz I'm kinda interested in a Trout/Martinez match-up. I can see Martinez going after Trout if he beats Canelo.

              I don't think he's even getting that for the Guerrero fight.

                I'm not surprised to see you say this. (Which of course means nothing considering what your fellow Floyd fan below just said).

                I'm actually highly surprised to see you say this. (Please don't be offended). But what you say is true. He's got buku millions on the table guaranteed, Austin Trout enhances his legacy (if he beats canelo), more than any other fighter not named Martinez. It's for sure a legacy fight if Trout beats canelo.

                  Please list every fighter that chose the "challenge/legacy" fight over the money fight.

                    He isn't, in fact the majority of people see it as just another Floyd cherrypick. (I don't, I think the ghost earned his shot). But I'm clearly in the minority here. So the prestige excuse, or money excuse is officially tossed out right now.

                      Floyd has a guaranteed contract money wise from showtime, meaning he's getting paid a set rate correct?? Meaning he won't possibly make less fighting Alexander, Brook, or Austin Trout, therefore as I said before, your lil money excuse, is exactly that. Just an irrelevant excuse.
