What will Floyd's next move be?

[Deevel916]

Given the current situation with the split between Oscar and Shaefer and Floyd following Shaefer along with Floyd/Maidana underperforming ppv #'s and Showtimes $32mil guarantee per fight, Floyds next fight may very well be in interesting one because his choice of opponents are very limited.

-Khan is out of the question because of Ramadan

-Maidana would make an interesting rematch given the competitiveness of the first bout but will Showtime be interested in making that since their first fight brought in less than 900k buys?

-We all know him vs Pacquiao isnt going to happen so we can scratch that idea.

-Ive heard Porter and thurmans name thrown around but both these fights will flop as far as ppv buys

-Bradley is tied to TR so that isnt happening.

-I've heard Danny Garcias name thrown around but this will be a risky fight as well from a ppv standpoint. Garcia is no Cotto as far as generating Puerto Rican fan interest not to mention he looked like crap and arguably lost his last fight


Seems as if Floyd's only real option would be a rematch against Cotto which will definitely be a big sell. Cotto is a big name coming off a big win which Floyd likes to do. Question is, what weight will this fight be held at?

The only other somewhat marketable fight will be against Maidana if showtime is willing to take the risk.

Or maybe Floyd sits out his Sept date and waits for Khan and and fights him in the UK.


Your thoughts???......

I can't imagine Cotto would take a fight in September, its too soon.

Maidana fight might do better this time around considering the first one.

Please, for the love of all that's holy, NO KHAN FIGHT.

I like the idea of a Thurman fight but it might not do well PPV wise. Maybe Thurman should **** Nicki Minaj or something, that could make him popular.

Fight with Garcia is a joke.

3 title belts in 1 night would be historic. Can't imagine Cotto nor Mayweather turning that down. I am sure the could push it out until Dec if they really wanted to do it.

He's fighting Maidana again. The first fight was better than expected. With a proper press tour and promotion the rematch should be huge.

This would be massive. My prediction is that floyd sits out his Sept 13th date if he doesnt rematch Maidana. He'll have much more options after Sept.

The promotion for a Cotto Rematch with all belts on the line and the Freddie Roach angle would be Massive, and if they choose to do it in MSG OMG!

There is no one left, TBE has destroyed anyone in his way.

Pacquiao doesn't wanna fight, his cowardice is pathetic and embarassing for the sport. **** him.

[al-Xander]

He's got hundreds of million of dollars according to Forbes. I expect him to use his money to go full blast in the promotional business and hire Schaefer. Haymon will naturally be on board. He talks so much about how greedy Arum is, and he hates working with DLH.

Let's see what happens.

MSG wont happen because of NY city/state taxes. Cotto fights here because despite taxes its still beneficial to him as he is a massive draw here. But how I would love for it to happen here in NYC as I work right across the street from MSG.

He's fighting Maidana or Garcia.
