He is almost a billionaire. He dont care about helping other fighters.

Floyd still had James Prince guiding him before Haymon (Prince wasn't gonna let Arum short Floyd a dollar on anything), and Floyd only has 4 children, 3 of whom with the woman he'd been with since high school (as much noise as Floyd makes, the fact that he doesn't drink/smoke has saved him a ton).
Floyd would've still fought his way to being the best 147lb fighter on the planet, he might've left Arum at some point anyway, but he would've had a Roy Jones Jr type of career (wunderkind talent, basically stuck at 500k-600k homes on PPV per fight).
Floyd would've still been Floyd, but on a smaller scale; at $10m-$15m a fight, we're likely talking about 2 Bugattis instead of 20, 10 watches instead of 100, and The Big Boy Mansion would've likely have been Floyd's opus instead of 1 of 4/5 luxury residences across the country.

problem with floyd is the same problem that pbc has and that is they signed too many damn fighters but dont have enough dates to give them all fights. Mayweather took fighters that were fighting 4 times a year to having them fight once every year and a half now not only do they need to stay active as young fighters but they need them small consistence paychecks to keep their head above water.
Take Neno Rodriquez for example who recently left Mayweather promotion he was fighting 4 times a year before signing with mayweather and getting paid about 10K per fight, thats 40K a year nothing great but plenty enough to live on for a young fighter now he moved to mayweather promotion who pays him the same but was only able to give him 1 fight every year, so he had to live off 10K for over a year lol thats hard to do. So most are leaving him for buisness reasons, they doing whats best for them.
