i dont see it with mayweather tho, as much as id like him to lose i dont see how he is paying for his wins in the same way as wlad, i accept if it ever was in the ballance he mighht well get a gift, but i dont think that has happened in the fights i have seen him in
Showtime, Vegas and Golden Boy/Haymon, would do ANYTHING to allow the cash cow to keep his main draw- his undefeated record.

Boxing is corrupt.
Even if Floyd loses he will still generate money. Manny lost to Bradley and JMM and he gets loads of money. Floyd would too.
Perhaps not as much as he would make being marketed as this undefeatable fighter. People pay to see Manny because 1. we like Manny more than Floyd on a personal and appeal level. 2. Manny produces more exciting fights.

Floyd is neither likeable, and he doesn't fight with jaw dropping excitement at every round. One can easily fall asleep during a Floyd fight.

Manny has a different marketing angle than Floyd. Manny can lose and we would still pay big money for him- for all reasons said above.
