How valid is the GBP/TR excuse?

Floyd is his own boss (something he loves to brag about) and this means he can essentially fight anyone he wants. It's clear that ONLY people involved on who he fights next are his advisor Al Haymon, Ellerbe, and himself. GBP is not even involved in the decision making process and Mayweather is not tied to GBP in any way. Manny is also not restricted to HBO (as Espinoza pointed out). This fight seems plausible to make, so I'm wondering if the GBP/TR "beef" is really a valid excuse because GBP doesn't even seem to need to be involved. Before I get any red Ks thrown my way, I'm just curious.

Floyd fights cost tens of millions of dollars to produce. Showtime has to sell 500K PPVs just to raise Floyd's guarantee of $40 million. It's obvious that SHO is either losing money or just breaking even. Time is money. They're just wasting money on Floyd no matter who they match him with. The claim that she is a PPV queen is a myth. She has to be supported with strong undercards and Mexican superstars and on Mexican holidays. Showtime is losing money with this guy.

that excuse isn't even needed
nor are any of the others Floyd comes up with
Pac's shot now, that's enough reason for everybody to just forget it
Pac-Floyd is a joke at this point
