If Floyd hates Bob, wouldn't beating Pac long ago stopped him earning more money?

Accepting that bout would have earned Arum a small mint, meanwhile Floyd can continue banking as he does without Bob. Money isn't only his nickname, it's his way of life. Bob loses big ............ Rockin'

What kind of fool ass sanctioning body would strip Floyd? And lost out on potential sanctioning fees from future Floyd mega-fights.
The reason Floyd wanted to keep the WBA belt was because he disrespected them with the Mosley fight, but at that time, he was not considering the ramifications for future young fighters signed to Mayweather Promotions, who may one day need WBA title shots.
He mentioned many times that he needed to smooth things out with the WBA after he wised up to the ramifications of what he did with the Mosley fight.
Again, you would know this if you were actually involved with the American professional fight industry. Which you aren't. So S TFU.
People who hate on Floyd should choose valid reasons. Yes, he's a racist, and often an abrasive douchebag. These are valid reasons to root against him or boycott his PPVs. But stop with the lies.

If he weren't such a slimy politician in the way he has manipulated public opinion since the Oscar fight, maybe it would be easier to sympathize with his current failures.

But regardless, paying someone off is a crime. Signing a no disclosure clause is not. They'd be acting completely legally by only disclosing the results to their employer, Floyd. It's not like they keep in touch with the local commission, everything gets funneled through the promoter
