      Your right just like after Floyd beat Oscar by split decision and then Oscar wanted a rematch then Floyd "retired."

        If I had to guess....Floyd can probably refuse any opponent, but Showtime can probably refuse any card.

            Mr. Espinoza acts more like a golden boy employee than the head of showtime. If the khan vs floyd fight bombs which it will,cbs will catch wind and get him out of there. Stephan Espinoza acting like a floyd groupie is not whats best for business. Al Haymon,golden boy,and Espinoza is why us boxing fans have to deal with Floyd's bullsh!! Quote it

              I feel like I always hear HBO turning down fighters opponents. Maybe Floyd is just too big to deny but he is under contract.
              You guys are ridiculous. Just 6 months ago he was scared of Canelo and Showtime was forcing him to fight Canelo. After the bout Canelo is Nobody... Listen, You can cross off any Top Rank/HBO Fighter. Danny Garcia says He's not ready, Lara although a worthy opponent sells even less than Guerrero did, Thurman hasnt really beaten anyone other than a couple of GateKeepers and isnt quite ready name wise or skill wise. I mean. Who is he supposed to fight that He hasnt already beaten From 147-154? You want Paulie Mallinaggi?? LOL. The guy has beaten 23 World Champs and A handful of future Hall of famers and People Still screamin for him to fight "sombody". Its just crazy!

                I don't know. Somehow I don't think Mayweather would leave himself in a position where showtime could make him fight a particular fighter. Showtime and Mayweather probably both have to agree on a fighter before it's a go.

                      Your exactly right now one is left at 147 except Pac and Bradley. Floyd should fight at higher catch weights or at 154.
