    The rise of arguably the first billion dollar fighter? Seriously?

    Son of the "almost was a champion" fighter, used by said father as a human shield in infancy, cheated out of his shot at the gold medal, the rise to his first world title against Genaro Hernandez (with a later came of him quietly paying for the funeral), his emerging issues with boxing's old guard, James Prince sending folks in to stomp people out, how Top Rank kept fighters away from Floyd, the introduction of Al Haymon and Floyd's break from Top Rank to bet on himself, the turn from "Pretty Boy" Floyd, the starmaking performance against Oscar De La Hoya, and the evolution of Floyd "Money" Mayweather.

    Could literally end the film with his dominant performance of JMM and good return to status as the best fighter on the planet Earth.

    "Money" Mayweather, as an act, definitely started to seriously stale at about the Mosley fight, but don't play yourself into thinking that there isn't a heck of a story there to tell

      We'd also get to hear what really happened with his abuse charge AND some of the stuff he does for communities that isn't broadcast.

      As well as him chipping in on Corrales' funeral and how he really WAS inspired by Muhammad Ali despite what he might have said openly.
