    I need some clarity.....

    Ok we know mayweather vs berto is going to happen (yuk)

    But what does this mean for his 6 fight showtime contract does this fight count ??

    Are showtime and mayweather saving his last fight on PPV for the magical 50th win??

    I feel there setting up mayweather vs paq 2 on PPV for mayweathers final fight for maximum cash out....

    On a side note I'm happy that prick Amir khan ain't getting the fight

    I think Espinoza said that this would count as his 6th fight under his Showtime contract, doesn't CBS own Showtime? I could be wrong.

      Showtime is owned by CBS so it works out.

      And they can't feature floyd on SHO because his stock has gone down since the Pacquiao fight (since most people/major sites saw Pac win with one arm) so he is being forced to fight on Free TV.

        Mayweather vs Berto is going to be on Showtime PPV (marketed as "Floyd's farewell fight" and at a lower price, to cover up for some of the hardcore fans tuning out).

        Showtime/CBS will run a four-part career look-back on Floyd Mayweather Jr (saving one of the shows to actually talk about Mayweather-Berto), and Floyd is going to likely do a final TV media tour, to close out his run.

        If there's any other fight for Floyd (I guess I'm one of the folks who believes that Floyd is actually walking away), it's likely to be Mayweather vs (Cotto-Canelo) II to open up the new MGM venue May/June 2016; there's no way that Pacquiao can get rebuilt in enough time after that **** performance.
