    Showtime wont allow it. Too risky for a return on thier $32mil guarantee investment. I think they are now truly regretting this deal they made. There's not many opponents that Floyd can face that will bring in 1mil+ ppv buys as they anticipated.

      I actually want Floyd to fight Thurman next. Keith's name is much bigger than it use to be and he even just headlined a main event.

      Plus, Floyd's choice of opponents are pretty small so you want to make sure you at least get the best looking guys out there. Thurman is one of them. Undefeated, so many KOs, impressive skills, and not afraid to let go of his 0.

      People are already putting Thurman down before the match but I think Thurman could give him a very tough and competitive match. Floyd isn't getting any younger.

      People talk about PPV sales and all that, well, with enough hype, it can work.

        Thurman needs to KO Maidana first. That shouldn't be that hard. He is weak to the body. Josesito Lopez almost stopped maidana.

          Floyd claims he's the reason why he's the PPV king. So, it shouldn't matter who he fights according to Floyd.

            I don't know why, but for some strange reason I think Thurman would beat Mayweather. I know people here will give me **** for it, but I truly believe that Thurman has a high chance of winning.

              I don't think there's any wrong with thinking that, especially after seeing Mayweather's fight with Maidana.

                Mayweather last year almost pulled a surprise to boxing fans when he announces he's gonna face Devon Alexander instead of Guerrero, this year, just when everyone thought Amir Khan is gonna get his shot, Floyd chooses Maidana.

                Since Mayweather is gonna fight on September 13 and there are plans of defending his two titles on the same night, his choices has been narrowed down to a Maidana rematch (I honestly believe Floyd doesn't want it) and Danny Garcia.

                In between Danny Garcia and the number 1 rank welterweight Keith Thurman, Garcia is the win-win fight for Floyd, Danny has fought the familiar names (Morales, Khan, Judah, Matthysse) but has yet to beat a 147-pounder and didnt look good in his last fight.

                One thing going for Thurman that Mayweather can consider is what happen to Canelo in September last year, who seems shell-shocked with that magnitude of a huge event, couldnt keep up with his game-plan, the Floyd camp will think Thurman will be exposed in his first big fight, besides if they want to defend two titles, then be against someone who weights around 147-150lbs.

                Mayweather vs Thurman with Maidana in the undercard.
                Will Mayweather surprise everyone by fighting Pacman in September?

                Thiis will be the biggest surprise and gift floyd could give the boxing world.

                    Floyd Mayweather vs. Keith Thurman
                    Shawn Porter vs. Kell Brook

                    I think it can sell, plus Thurman I believe has the character to actually help sell the right too. Mayweather will still probably pick a rematch with Marcos Maidana, but who knows. If Mayweather picked Manny Pacquiao, the hype would go nuts.

                      This is it, he doesn't promote his fights any more. All he does is throw cash around on all access and repeat the same lines 'this is a fighter I cannot overlook' 'he is here for a reason and I will have to bring my A game'
