Thread: Floyd: I won't come back for less than $100 million

Danny Garcia looks like his only choice.

Really?!?! I just can't shake the feeling that Floyd is more likely to fight the Canelo-Khan winner than anyone else. Think about it: both have HUGE fan bases (especially Canelo) to generate hype/interest, the fight will be historic in that it will be for the lineal middleweight title (unbelievably), and both are as close to guaranteed wins as Floyd can get. They will hype Khan as having the speed and bixing skills to beat Floyd, and hype Canelo as having overcome the inexperience and deficiencies that allowed him to be humiliated/shut out last time. The only factor I see affecting that COA, is potentially Manny signing to fight the winner first to force a Floyd rematch May 5th of next year.

*Fans thoughts inside Floyd's delusional head*

"Floyd, PLEASE come back. We need you"

He is scum.

He should have been a ballerina or a gymnast. Who wants to watch a guy run around the ring like a sissy for 2 mins and 45 secs of every round?

He clearly has an exaggerated view of his worth to fans. Wiil Smith of boxing.

Enough people to warrant him demanding 9 figure sums!

He will not fight again if he keeps his word but he will return for less money.

I don't understand?

What did he get for that Manny dud? I'm pretty sure it was north of 200 million when all was said and done. The only thing that would stop Alvarez from being stripped of a fake title he now does not even need is Floyd coming back to perpetuate said fraud. Floyd would most likely get that 100 million.

He will try and sell his 50th fight and make out it will be the event of a life time. When in reality Floyd fights are boring, he can not sell a fight on his own (for the money that he wants) and the challenges he takes are safe.

At the end of the day he can say shit is pink and that the sky is green. It doesn't matter as long as people are buying. And if they're is enough interest in him and people are talking about (which we all are), then the money will be there.
At the end of the day, yet again, Floyd is just taking the piss out of everyone. Teasing and talking shit, and if their is enough stupid people in the World to enable him to get what he wants, then so be it.

Unfortunately, looking at this from a business point of view/perspective, Floyd vs. Canelo/Khan winner for the middleweight title or Floyd vs. Manny (if he beats the winner of Canelo vs. Khan) for that title makes him $100M easy. Floyd vs. Garcia, Thurman, Porter...etc., regardless of who they beat at that weight, won't get him that kind of money (Garcia for his 50th win and another title may get him some decent money though).

I don't think any of the fights Floyd will take at this point are interesting or will be entertaining at all (now that he has said definitely not to GGG). I would rather see Manny vs. Canelo-Khan winner, GGG destroy Canelo, and a round robin of fights between Porter, Thurman, Brook, and Garcia. Those are all much more entertaining and fan pleasing fights than Floyd shutting out an inferior opponent (they all are 154 and under) behind an average 12 punches landed per round. He's a great fighter and business man, extremely intelligent in promotion and boxing, but not very entertaining these days in the ring (I forgive him for that due to his age and likely boredom at this point of his life/career).

Nice way to include the Floyd references ("At the end of the day").

However, you left out "When it's all said and done"

I do not forgive him because he is charging premium rates for poor sub standard performances yet claiming he is the best when he is past his prime.
