Floyd Mayweather's final fight to be on Network TV?

[know1212risk]

I'd be interested in Floyd Mayweather fighting Lucas Matthysee at a 144lbs catch-weight. Mayweather can hype it up as he had quite the troubles with Marcos Maidana and Matthysee is a heavy puncher plus he can promote the fight by trashing Oscar de la Hoya the whole time.

That would be intriguing...

Possible and if so it will be Khan

Showtime contract

the dude is too greedy for that shit.

[know1212risk]

Would Showtime air it for free (apart from advertisement money) knowing how much he gets paid per fight?

Unless they're more than happy enough with the amounts they've made from the 5 fights so far. They must have done well out of the Pacquiao and Canelo fights at least.

Yea, that made TONS for this last fight. Plus they could make a killing on commercial advertising if it's put on CBS. And they'd actually PROMOTE this fight.

I can't see that happening. If anything, he'll use this to capitalize on it. Build his final fight around his retirement. On and on about this will be his last fight, so bye the ppv's.

More likely it will be a $150 ppv.

I'm really starting to like the idea of Floyd Mayweather vs. Lucas Matthysse, it would be a hell of a fight and Matthysse's been through some wars and is game every fight. It would be an easy sell, Mayweather, Oscar, Mayweather's problems against Argentine fighters, etc.

Agreed. Could promote this pretty easily.

Yeah the more I think about it, the more I like the prospect of that match-up. No titles are needed and if a casual fan asks a boxing fan about Matthysse, I doubt anyone would trash him. Danny Garcia would've been a great sell except he's pretty much put a flame thrower to his career with his last 3 fights.
