    The reason they do not fight is very simple. The losers stock would plummet. There is a "cap" to how many PPV sales they can do. They are not going to generate 20% more sales than the highest grossing fight. And how would you split that purse? May thinks he can take 30mil and leave Pac with the paltry 3mil like he did Maidana? Heck even if those numbers are doubled, it makes zero financial sense to Pac to take the fight.

      Thurman shouldn't have to keep jumping through loops to get a Floyd fight. He's earned his shot at the big names a long time ago.

        I think what I am saying is clearly stated in the post you commented on.
        Yes I am a fan of Floyd Mayweather (I think I have stated this time and time again). Calling me a FLOYD fan is NOT an INSULT, its actually just a fact, but kudos to you friend. And I wouldn't mind seeing Manny Vs. Floyd , but I truly believe it will not happen and I'm not going to cry over it (like some people do, time and time and then...TIME AGAIN).

        And if you can clearly define what "cherry picker" means, then maybe I can decide if that's what Floyd is. And by definition I mean, a clear ,well-thought out, non-bias definition.

          This idiot needs to stay focused on his upcoming fight. That last time he had mayweather on his mind. Marquez sent him to the moon

            Exactly lol.. Anyone with two eyes and a brain can see that Thurman is a legit threat. And wtf did Ortiz, Guerrero and Maidana do to get the Floyd fight other than beat up on a couple of hype jobs? Lol..

              The midget always does this when he has already signed to fight somebody else. And last time i checked. Mayweather did reach him. And he turned down a guaranteed $40 mil. Now that he's begging.that $40 mol is off the table. Probably down to $25 million

                  Forget about the midget.. He's going to lose to Algieri soon. Start working on your excuses as to why Floyd shouldn't fight Thurman, Brook, Andrade, Lara or GGG cause I'm not interested in a Khan fight or a Cotto/Canelo rematch.

                    Let me ask you a question, thurman beating washed up guys like julio diaz,carlos quintana, soto karrass, and a then unknown chaves, an unknown zavek is enough to get a fight with floyd?? Out of the guys ive mentioned how many of them are as good as a lamont peterson and undefeated berto who ortiz beat??? And ortiz should have got the win over peteron imo.

                    Maidana beat sum better competition at 47 too..
