    Why is GGG willing to drop weight against Mayweather when FMJ will pay him less money

    How much did Floyd pay Maidana, a couple of millions?

    Floyd paid Canelo only like 10 mill. Floyd has to underpay you to make his money.

    GGG is a very good fighter but everything he and his team do just doesn't feel right.

    Ward, too, was willing to go down 160 for a Mayweather shot.

          Ward was just talking emotionally and that only last a brief time

            Because FMJ is legitimately lighter than him.

            Canelo is heavier than him, so there's no reason to give him a CW.

            It's not very hard...

                Thing is risk vs reward...if he lost to Mayweather then who cares everyone loses to him but if he loses to Canelo his entire aura is gone..

                  LArrey you're good people but there is no way Maidana got upside on 900,000 PPV buys when Mayweather's Guarantee is 32 million.

                    I dont keep up with stuff like that, so i dont know the entire amount he received..but upside in a floyd fight is huge since he sells so well
