Why should Floyd care about who you want him to fight?

[Derranged]

Why do you care so much about him?

I'll never, ever understand how Floyd inadvertently controls this forum.

[-PBP-]

One thing I like about Floyd is that he dictates to the fans and the networks. "This is how I fight. I'm going to win. And its going to be on my terms. I will gey paid. And you can't do **** about it."


But with Khan he has taken that attitude too far.

As a boxing fan, this isn't a great matchup on paper, especially given each fighters last fight. As such there is no way to justify it. We all know if it happens that its either floyd picking the biggest money fight out of a bunch of huge underdogs or its GBP and/or showtime mandating it aspart of his deal.

As for spending money on it-its your choice. As much as I hate the fight, I will likely pay for it because I am a floyd fan. Same way I would watch Lakers v Bobcats if Thunder v Heat was on at the same time, or watch th cowboy v Jaguars if Broncos v Seahawks was on. If you don't I'm absolutely fine with that.

If you're not happy with it don't buy it. Same as I did with manny v rios.

A Laker AND Cowboy fan from New Jersey?

Because we are the paying fans...

You think part of floyd's deal may require that he take at least one fight where GBP/Showtime gets to choose the opponent?

Yes! Been that way a LOOOOOOOOONG time!

We just want to witness a fight that's worth $70. A fight that the fans wanted to see... is that too much to ask?

I think GBP, Floyd's team and Show give him a list and show him the numbers. He looks at it and approves. I also think the opponents are known months and even years in advance. Guerrero and Canelos names were tossed around a year or two earlier.

They've wanted this Khan fight back since he fought Peterson

Coincidentally, that's the last time I considered whether Khan would give Mayweather a good fight. If he had beaten PEDerson soundly, we would have seen this fight a long time ago and it would have been wanted.

Before the Canelo fight there were several threads saying he was afraid of canelo,would duck him or was forced to fight him...then when he toyed and dominated him all the sudden it was a cherry pick??? after that crap why the **** should he care how anyone feels????

floyd's already on record saying he doesn't care about what fans say.

a lot of fans like me doesn't care what he does as well...we just want to piss off his online girlfriends like you.

He's an excellent entertainer and does posses atg technical skills. But, Floyd has said numerous times that once you get to the top or reach a certain point it's a business and his business is about making money. If all Floyd cares about is low risk and high reward, the question really is why should we buy into and care who he fights next?
