      A tv executive of the top 4 major networks wouldn't be involved unless floyd was on board. That's not how fortune 500 companies do business.

        Mayweather signed a bunch of power away by signing a contract. Showtime has to approve it. Of course Mayweather can refuse it sit out and make no money, but my point stands. If Showtime is smart they refuse any other fight.

              All these will go smooth until they hear all of floyd's b1tchass demand like" pac needs to sign with mayweather promotions/arum cannot be involved", watch....hate to ruin it for everyone but we should know how that punk do business by now when it comes to this fight....

                They can't really do that either.

                    Well looks like this is the last shot. If it doesn't happen now, we can rest assured that it never will.
