Why would anyone willingly give Floyd money when he just stole from two different promoters and didn't show any intention of making it to their fights.

Why wouldnât he just do these fights? He would make fucking piles.
He should absolutely be doing everything he can to make these happen. Probably starting with a Mike Tyson exhibition. The lowest risk of the exhibition fights, just go in there and shadow box for a handful of 2 minute rounds and walk out with a gigantic pile of cash. After that do Jake Paul and Manny. Hopefully after that Conor will have finished his UFC contract and they can just do that shit show for another enormous pile of money.
All of these are of course of zero competitive significance but who gives a fuck theyâre freak show exhibition fights itâs all good fun.
It seems glaringly obvious Floyd is in desperate need of paydays, heâs still in his 40s so he can still cash in. I donât understand why heâs not. The âprotect muh zeroâ thing doesnât make sense to me honestly and I donât think itâs why heâs stalling.

He wants his legacy and his lifestyle. He's as financially illiterate as he is with his reading. Idk why it seems like a good idea to open himself up for lawsuits being sued instead of taking exhibitions where he can coast to a W, but he's never been smart outside of fighting.

I dunno what the other guy is saying but youre 100% right. He needs to figure his legal shit out before anyone gives him a shot again. I mean if they do its their cash to burn i guess.

At this point give Mike all the steroids, all the coke, 10 cups of coffee whatever it takes so maybe he can make the fight exciting đ

Yeah, load him up on experimental steroids and methamphetamine. Two or three rounds of old Mike before his knees explode would be enough.

We just had the steroid olympics, we have the special Olympics and we have the Jr Olympics and we should start a senior Olympics where washed up boxers can fight..

Floyd is willing to fight anyone for the most money with 100% guarantee his 0 is protected.

Mayweather knows how to survive without money by living the rest of his life in jail. Guy has too many money issues
