    Didn't like how far off he was from the peak of his powers. Had an easier time retiring than most elite fighters
    The fact that Floyd continues his attempts at keeping his name in the spotlight somehow, or try and stay relevant somehow despite being retired, by latching onto Pac’s recent surge of success and longetivy, tells me he eventually will commit to a rematch, and it will bite him in the arse.

    One thing he can’t seem to let go of is his ego, and the more he fades away and Manny continues to climb the ranks of ATG, it will start to get to him.
    After PAC UD’s Spence, then will come...

      He’s flaunting $2M to brag that he is turning down $200M. I can’t fault him if he wants to remain retired to fight midget kickboxers in Japan. He know he cannot compete on Manny’s level now. Especially a healthy Pacquiao with two fully functional shoulders.

        His appearance there doesn't necessitate the cost.

        Was literally paid to mention Manny Pacquiao's name.

        Lol what a leech

              Tards like this can't be serious. It was Pacquiao and Roach that kept mentioning Mayweather in the lead up to the fight.

                You can say it a million times and it won't change a thing. Pacquiao will be forever in Mayweathers shadow. He knows it himself which is why he keeps begging for a rematch.

                  If Floyd wasn't outspoken he wouldn't be known.
                  When rjj and naseem hamed ruled earth, nobody knew floyd. He had to be outspoken with that talent floating about. He had to raise head above pa****t. Be outspoken to get attention with guys with more talent in circulation.

                    It’s not really a great comparison..

                    Hamed and Jones both won world titles before Floyd had even turned pro. Floyd really started coming into his best years in the early to mid 2000’s when Naseem was already retired.

                    Their careers didn’t even cross paths really, the only time it would’ve was at the tail end of Naseem’s career.

                    As for Roy Jones, great fighter but barely moved the needle as a huge name and PPV star unlike Floyd.

                    What’s wrong with being outspoken? - You can have the best product in the world but if you don’t advertise it, nobody is going to know about it. Nothing wrong with doing that if you can back it up, which Floyd did. You still need immense talent to reach the levels of stardom Floyd did. Otherwise Prince Patel would be a PPV star.

                      Floyd is an insecure little hoe on the inside. Pulled out receipts? Needs to justify and show off everything financial, huh?
