Why Won’t Floyd Mayweather Pick Up His ‘Easy’ $75 Mil and Fight Manny Pacquiao?

He won't pick up for the simple reason.He might just lose.That ''0" is more protected than the president hence he has kept it.All great fighters lose at one time or another if they seek out the creme de la creme opposition.
Mayweather has proudly talked of his cherry picking/ducking of opponents
like it's a badge of honor.It's not as cool as he thinks,even if he were to retire undefeated.
But I predict even if he gets to 49-0 and his Showtime deal ends,he won't or can't retire.He'll lose to someone more anonymous than a wrong number a la Aaron Pryor and we'll feel sad that he had to go out that way.

That is not just any fighter that's Pacquiao. Used to be P4P and still is a multiple division champ which you just compared to the likes of a Canelo lol.. Geez enough said.
I swear this Flowmos don't want anything to do with PAc. Case in point. It boggles the mind lol

If Pacquiao can show he still has something left against Rios, then the fight with Mayweather is still a decent fight when you consider the alternatives.

It's obvious why this fight hasn't been made can't believe no one has said anything.
We are still waiting on the state of the art stadium that Bob "the Builder" Arum is going to make.

Arum doesn't really care about money at this point. He is old and rich, he already has more money than he can spend in his lifetime. He will not make the fight out of spite for Floyd and Oscar leaving him and making the biggest PPV fights without him.
And at this point Floyd would probably get more flack for fighting Pacquiao then for not fighting him. If he fights an older version of him it will just perpetuate the idea that Floyd cherry picks and waits for the big names to get older and shop worn. If he doesn't fight him he can at least say that Pac was ducking him as well...
