There's no way this fight doesn't get made, there's just too much money involved. When you consider that a close Floyd points win is the likely scenario there's a good chance of a rematch, so they could end up grossing over a quarter of a billion dollars for two fights. The only real option for either of them is Mosley, only a fraction of the earning potential. You can argue about which one of them is the bigger draw but one can't do without the other, you need two to make a fight and the only way either of them can make the money they'll make fighting each other is to fight each other. They'll eventually agree on 50/50 but Floyd can still boast he gets more because he's a co-promoter, or at least technically he is. There'll be a whole period of it's on/it's off stories but just to build the fight up, when they get Christmas out of the way and people aren't distracted they'll announce IT'S ON! and we'll get to see it next year.
