Give it a break JT....Not only me but just about every poster on this forum who knows their shit on boxing that has makde a post on this thread has something simular or has given a chicken shit move pulled by Floyd so don't act as though I am the only one giving you shit about him...

Everyone else can't be wrong JT....You act as though people are saying Floyd has no talent and is over rated etc....

When in truth all everyone is saying is he cherry picks, refuses to fight the toughest challenges out there....Finds excuses for fights not to happen....

Meanwhile every other top fighter from 135-168 are looking at or fighting no one but the best comp available regardless of paydays.....Not every fight is the mega payday...doesnt work like that...

And if Floyd was the mega star he claims it should not matter who he fights because he would make money regardless if he got a percentage of the sales...A fighter that draws so many numbers like Floyd would have no problem getting such a deal...and again a fighter who draws soooo much in PPV numbers would make more off a percent then a guarenteed purse....

OR...Is it the fact Floyd has pulled in big PPV numbers because of who he is fighting not the fact he is fighting.....

I mean lets face it DLH could pull in record breaking PPV buys if he had sparring matches on PPV....Floyd was not the money earner in that one

As for talk to my Promoter/Manager....I could be wrong here buty doesnt Floyd claim to call his own shots?

So if thats true who is it exactly that is preventing these bouts from being made?

OR is Floyd a liar about that as well?
Again Daxx why are you not answering questions? So you are suggesting Floyd should have foregone a shot at the lineal Welterweight Championship of the world as well as Monumental paydays versus Hatton and Delahoya?

Are you also pissed that Floyd didnt sign the mosely contract using Kellermans back sat night?

Please humor me and answer those 3 questions
I'll try to answer the questions. We understand the motivation was money. We get it. Floyd has boxed his whole life and deserved the Hatton and DLH pay offs. That explains why he chose the Hatton and DLH fights, but it doesn't mean the choices don't merit criticism and it doesn't explain why he chose Marquez (although I understand it was his come-back fight). Fighters who endear themselves to their fans are fighters who consistently challenge themselves and go into fights as underdogs. Maybe it is because of money, but Floyd hasn't fought a true dominant welterweight and he has fought there for five years.

As boxing fans, is it wrong for us to expect more from the p4p best fighter in the world?

Oh and I don't excuse Shane and Bernard's actions, but they did it because how else are they going to get Floyd in the ring with Shane or get Shane any sort of big fight?
