Mark my words it's going to be Hatton-Mayweather 2 at Wembley on HBO PPV or Khan-Mayweather at a catch weight. He'll be making over 30 mil easy for those 2 fights with PPV percentage he receives.
This is a business, point blank. Floyd has nothing to prove. 6 time champ in 5 divisions. That's his resume. He's the best pound for pound fighter of this generation. Boxing history will say that. They're not going to say anything about his opponents. They'll look at that big fat 0 next to his loss column and argue that.
How important is that big fat 0? Take Rocky Marciano for example, fight fans are still saying that he would beat a prime Ali and that he kicked Joe Louis ass and beat up Ezzard Charles, Jersey Joe Walcott, and Archie Moore. And that he is the greatest heavyweight champion ever or arguing that. But what they don't see was that everyone of these boxing greats were well past their primes. Only hardcore fans see that. Casual sports and fight fans just know that Joe Louis got his ass kicked but they didn't know that Joe Louis was basically shot with no handspeed, accuracy, endurance, quick reflexes that he lost at age 37. Even boxing historians hardly mentioned that. They just say Marciano kicked his ass and knocked him through the ropes.
That's how important that big fat 0 is. It forms a different perception. All Money Floyd has to do is take fights like Marquez an blown up featherweight kicked his ass and say I beat an all time great that gave the other p4p champion of that era all kinds of trouble.
Ain't no one going to argue that 20 years from now. They will just look at the big fat 0 and the 6 time champ in 5 classes.
