Showtime have stumped up millions of dollars for this 6 fight deal with Floyd. It is imperative to them that this is recouped (and then some) in order for a profit to be made. It's the oldest law in business.
When you're the P4P best fighter in the world, each fight IS a business. It's the primary reason for putting the gloves on, doing the hours in the gym and performing successfully on the night to maintain the status-quo.
So, think with your business head on. Floyd is fighting in May. There are two real candidates who, more than anyone else (Manny aside) who can generate enough ppv revenue to warrant a fight making the kind of money required to subsidise the television deal.
Danny Garcia. He's the man who deserves it, and was Floyd s chef support last time out. Good fighter, undefeated, very marketable. However, doesn't have that stardust, isn't known to casual fans, still isn't rated perhaps as highly as he should be. Also his style suggests a tale tale pattern of fight with Floyd s last opponents.
Amir Khan. The man who doesn't deserve it. Lost 2 of his last 4, carries no belt, and even tho he won his last fight, it was close and he was dropped. But, in terms of ppv, he's smash Garcia out of the park. Big UK fan base, would sells buckets there. Floyd is promoting this Dec in the UK, again, extra exposure for the TMT brand. Amir is also a cross over star, maybe not so much in the States, but certainly is here. His style also makes for a more interesting match up than Garcia.
So, as a fan who do you choose? You choose Garcia, he deserves his shot. A no brainer.
But, as a business man, who do you choose? You choose Amir. Even more of a no brainer. You'd have to be thicker than gravy not to understand why it makes more business sense. Makes more money.
Are Floyd and Leonard and Hamon all business men?
Come on now, please try to understand the fundamental nature and law of boxing. It's a business. This is the best deal that can currently be made. It's very, very simple.
Why do you think Floyd fought Canelo? Its because showtime lost loot on the Ghost fight, Canelo was logical for the next one. It was the best business deal at the time.
Amir Khan is the best business deal at THIS time, and he will be the next person to fight Floyd. So i suggest you accept it and understand the reasons behind it so that ultimately, you can all enjoy it.
After all, if you were risking your life each and every time you fought for others entertainment, wouldn't you want as much money as possible?
