Nice one Daxx. Allot to ponder in the whys, wheres and whos for sure.
Im going with the (how can he have any real money problems?)
He has an ego,he wants more of something; if you got a void anywhere in your life people seem to think more money or more stuff will fill it, so maybe more belts more cash..

Going on his past I think he is just eyeing a two to three fight finish and they are carefully picking those selections like stepping stones to the platform to cement his legacy as the all time greatest. He has to fight Pac and take his crown away no doubt and that has to be the second fight. After that he knows the public will call for a Mosley bout and depending on how Shane appears between now and then depends on any excuse for an out or an in.
Its all about position numbers and cash.
Marquez is the ideal warm up for Pac and hints that Floyd is underestimating him only serves to pump up the crowd further with some beliving he may not prepare as well ..hahahaha fools.
Back in the day Ali used to trash talk and would have fans lapping it up, cause half agreed with him and the other half wanted to see him shut down for it; things have got more subtle these days but its still the same old formula to bring more punters in. Floyd will come out winning I think.
