This might just very well be posturing or tactics on the part of Floyd Jr's negotiating team. Money, money money.... MONEY! The one named after it certainly would not, in his right mind, turn down an opportunity to make a monster killing of it!

By the way, found this.... Nice to be reassured that the PBF team is not about to bolt out of this potential mega-fight, as other posters are worried of, in any shape or form that easy!

That's one end, while on the other end... here's hoping that Bob Arum, of TOPRANK, doesn't allow old wounds from the PBF discord to detract from attaining a fruition for this biggest boxing date,(in a very long while).

This has to be made not only for the fans but for the health of the sport of boxing in general!

***********

Floyd can choose anyone he wishes to negotiate for him," Arum went on. "I assume that if Floyd wants to do the fight then that person will emerge. But Floyd doing it himself will be a catastrophe."
When told of Arum's comments, Leonard Ellerbe, an adviser to Mayweather, chuckled and provided a window into the discord that exists between the two camps. Arum is Mayweather's former promoter.
"Mayweather Promotions is discussing Floyd's options right now," Ellerbe said. "When it comes time to express those options, Richard (Schaefer) will be the one to express our position to Top Rank.
"This is typical Arum, to be playing games like this. It's no secret, the whole world knows that both camps don't see eye to eye. But Floyd has made it perfectly clear that he wants the fight."
