Can Showtime make Floyd fight someone?

[tank17211]

Im assuming Showtime has to approve Floyd's opponents. Showtime should put a poll with a more then two fighters and see who the fans really want to see Floyd fight.

I feel like I always hear HBO turning down fighters opponents. Maybe Floyd is just too big to deny but he is under contract.

Yes. Floyd has a boss and it's Stephen Espinoza

Im assuming Espinoza will not want Floyd to take any major risks because he has 5 fights left on his contract. Hopefully he will face stiffer competition in his last 2 or 3 fights.

He has 4 fights left and they pay him to make them money, not to take soft touches for his own good. There's a reason Khan didn't get the fight after the public backlash when his name came up. They're scrambling to try and get Maidana to fight now coming off his win over Broner.

Or is if because of PPV numbers?

Showtime lost 15 million at least on Floyd vs Ghost. Hence the Canelo fight.


Showtime can't afford to let Floyd fight cream puffs.

The best fighter in the sport should fight the best. Bring on Pacquiao Bradley Lara.

If Floyd retires undefeated after those 3 then I have no issue crowning him as one of the GOAT

I could have sworn this entire damn forum was saying Showtime MADE Floyd fight Canelo

Talking about losing Money?? Then you Mention Lara and 2 HBO fighters..so Lara who has no fanbase at all and the 2 HBO fighters who Showtime would have to SPLIT MONEY WITH if the fights are even possible to make....come on people do ya'll think before posting? sure we want these fights but there are not even possible

[LA_2_Vegas]

He just fought Canelo!! Countless people thought he would wait on making that fight. Let's keep things in perspective

It is hilarious how people on here act like they have amnesia after EVERY Floyd fight...ya'll begged for the damn Canelo fight,said Floyd feared him and Showtime forced the fight
