PBF to team up with Don King?

[Nameless]

Why do you pay so much to be a free agent and then turn around and sign with another money hungry promoter?

The only thing that comes to mind is Floyd must be in serious money trouble!

Actually, it could be, before DLH fight, he stated that he did place all his money on wall street and would be soon billionaire. With the actual state of things, he could have easily lost a LOT.... Otherwise I don't see why would he go at Don King's personal mansion... personally I would try to get that guy miles away from me and wouldn't go to his house if it would be for something potentially serious... and I guess it's the same for Floyd otherwise I do not see no reasons to go bbq-ing with the fat one.

DON KING?! He's going to have to change his name to Floyd "Where's my Money" Mayweather...

I wonder just "how" much dosh you'd have to put in front of mayweather to get him to let king promote his fights.

Every man has his price,count rule it out.

Floyd's promotional company was just a joke, the guy who used to negotiate all his fight contracts was Al Haymon. Maybe King gets the Haymon job now but I'm guesing Haymon still has some sort of contract with Floyd for when he unretired. Could get messy.

Given the level of 'accuracy' in Rafael's reporting on 'what Mayweather has done/is about to/or is thinking about maybe doing if he feels like it' in recent months, I put about as much stock in this as I do in the intensity of Keanu Reeves' acting. It's just King trying to get his name in on something.

That could be, wouldn't be surprising from King, he did say tons of crap just to get the attention. That wouldn't be surprising neither because he hasn't been very active lately and his stabble is considerably degarnished.
One thing remain though: Mayweather apparently really went to BBQ with him,which is still a reason to think that there have been at least some talks.. At least, if I was Floyd, I wouldn't stay in the Monster's den for no reasons and to BBQ with him when I could be in so many other pleasant ressorts. To me, it is a serious enough reason to think that they did negociate something, or at least, they did discuss something. It might never happen, sure, but I am pretty sure they did discuss some eventualities.
. As I said before as well, the scenario could be interesting in the perspective where Floyd placed tons of money on Wall Street before the crisis... we could imagine he did fairly lost a bit and might be more than ever attracted by Uncle Sam's green devise.

Could be just rumors, sure, but I think that there is still enough content to wonder on the matter and to think that at least some serious talks have been made about such a potentiality.

How much money does it cost to lure Mayweather? A Lot. How much money does King have? A lot. How much money could he make with Mayweather? ... A lot too. Let's see if the old fox can lure the young wolf.

Where's the proof he was at the BBQ? It's all in another Rafael article. I have to say any journalistic enterprise he had, has severely diminished in recent months. Until I say Ellerbe or Haymon say something, I ain't believing a word of it. If you've followed Rafael's articles this year, you'll see how consistently he's been wrong with his 'PBF Exclusives'.
