Some people get so involved with the bullshit plot that they forget to step back and see the big picture. Floyd is the only one who benefits from this. He is a true student of the game and he knows that time hurts Manny more than it hurts him. He will fight Manny but it will be his 50th and final fight, for the records on paper and after his Showtime contract expires. Problem is that I think Manny knows this and doesn't plan to be around that long and that is why he is pushing for the fight right now.
