I think they're thinking they can get to the top without him. Honestly, fighting Floyd is a suicide fight. Floyd has been in with harder punchers, fast punchers and bigger fighters than Kell. Kell has a short reach and will have to chase Floyd around the ring and Floyd will just pick him off and win a UD. I like Kell, but he has nothing that will beat Mayweather. So why fight him, when you can make a lot of money fighting on Box Office in the UK and then probably get the much more winnable Pacquiao fight?
