If GB does not put a stellar supporting undercard no way does Floyd make the PPVs he get. The first time he fought without Canelo he didn't even break $1M. Look how desperate Floyd is right now trying to sweet talk Canelo in his interviews. He wants Canelo back on his undercards! Even Mexicans won't give Garcia a chance against Floyd why do you think they would buy it even on a Mexican holiday? And Broner? Broner's a no name with regards to casual boxing fans. He isn't even respected by those near the sport.
Yes, Mayweather owes Manny respect because Manny will bring in money and no one else. Floyd is clearly ducking this fight right now. I am convinced he will only take this fight in the last fight of his career. Because win or lose by that time he would have won a good retirement sum. Remember Floyd's marketability is his 0. Without it he is nothing.

Now this weekend you call me up and want the 40 grand for the car. Apparently in Pacland I should give you the 40 grand for your car four years later out of respect.

The irony of diehard Pac fans talking about respect. The same group that spent their first year watching boxing posting about bananas and monkeys on SRR youtube videos simply because people said he was greater than Pac.

If you haven't been hiding under a rock the projections out there are that this fight will still gross as the highest PPV ever if it materializes. Threads about this fight still runs at 30 pages minimum. Businessmen from Dubai, Singapore, Philippines, and Macau still send in feelers to make the fight happen in their respective countries. In Floydland where money commands respect this should have been a no -brainer. So what is really holding up the fight? It's not money because it's there and there's tons of it.

The ones Arum needs to talk to for the fight to happen? If Pac is as naive as his fans it is no wonder he is nearly broke.

look at the fights that hit 1.5 or higher
shane-floyd
floyd-oscar
floyd-canelo
floyd-cotto
now look at the ones that did around 1 mil
floyd-hatton
floyd-ghost
floyd-jmm
floyd-ortiz
The difference between the numbers is that when floyd fights another big name that can headline a ppv without floyd ie cotto, canelo, oscar, shane-- those guys can all headline a ppv without floyd, so combined they do huge blockbusters
guys that cant headline a ppv without floyd and just riding floyds coattails like ortiz, ghost, hatton they do somewhere around a mil buyrate..
Broner, garcia, khan, are good fighters and a fight with floyd would do 800k-1.2 mil,,,, Not bad but no blockbuster
its safe to assume that manny vs anyone ie rios will do 400k plus, and floyd vs anyone would do 800k plus
But there is no way that broner or garcia is going to bring enough eyeballs to hit 1.5 or 2 mil,,,
Guys like shane and cotto spent many many years taking tough fights, building there name, and its an insult to them to think that floyd could do their numbers with less accomplished fighters like garcia and broner at this moment in time,,,
Not saying that broner or garcia couldnt become as big as cotto n shane, but it takes years and many big fights to land on that cotto/shane level
