Mayweather wants the biggest fight in boxing for his return, this is it.

[CaptainSpacerod]

I think Floyd will come back and he will fight Pacman. It's a fight Floyd can't lose, Manny doesn't have a KO in him anymore and no way will Floyd lose a decision in Vegas. Floyd exits stage left with a hundred million dollars in his pocket and the mythical 50-0 record with the pathetically fawning boxing media scrambling after him.

I'm sure the fight will generate hundreds of millions of dollars but I'm puzzled as to why. Even the casual fan likes to watch real matchups not glorified exhibition bouts between 2 semi retired guys who are the best part of a decade past their peaks so how the fvck they'll sell this one mystifies me.

If money May returns and he’s still about Money, the most lucrative fight for him and the biggest fight in boxing is two fights with the same opponent. Mayweather should fight Gennady Golovkin with a rematch clause.

Canelo Alvarez, Miguel Cotto and Manny Pacquiao are all capable of achieving PPV buy-rates that would almost certainly exceed Golovkin’s by a minimum of 50%.

In fact, if Money May was willing to travel overseas, he’d receive a bigger payday facing Kell Brook or Amir Khan than he would against GGG.

There’s no fiscal reason for Mayweather to face GGG.

If Floyd ever fights again, he’ll be in his forties, which is incredibly ancient for a lighter weight class. He would have also been competing as a professional for more than twenty years.

If I was Floyd, I would stay retired, but if I felt compelled to engage in one more bout, it would have to be staged on home turf in Las Vegas, against a beatable veteran opponent and with a minimum guaranteed purse of $50m… and the sole purpose of the fight would be to gain the “50-0”.

To propose the notion that Mayweather Jr. is automatically obliged to face a much bigger and younger opponent, like GGG, that doesn’t bring as much money to the table as other opponents could, is utterly absurd!

I get it... people want to see Floyd Mayweather Jr. lose, even if this means they have to clamour for him to face a heavyweight like Tyson Fury, but honestly, what you’re proposing makes no sense whatsoever!

A narrow minded person, how very irritating.
It’s time to think outside the box. Think supply and demand. Think marketing. Think the effectiveness of marketing, whose job it is to create interest. “There’s no fiscal reason for Mayweather to face GGG” The creative side of your brain needs enlightening!

Is it “utterly absurd”, with an exclamation mark for this fight to be considered? Was Sugar Ray Leonard utterly absurd for facing Marvin Hagler in a classic super fight. I find this to be the most relevant. Yet you have ignored this and other more recent examples plainly in view. Was it absurd when Kell Brook fought Gennady Golovkin? Was it absurd when Amir Khan fought Canelo Alvarez. Both the most popular fights of 2016 as you well know.

Perhaps in your haste to be heard you can be excused some misgivings. To clarify, I didn’t” propose the notion that Mayweather Jr. is automatically obliged to face a much bigger and younger opponent”. He is not. Mayweather, as we know is his own man and seems in control of his destiny.
However, the image he tends to portray is that of a money maker , to the point where he has changed his name to Money, which makes me believe this fight is an option. Of course if Money may is less about the money and more about preserving his record, we have a different story and that’s fine (he’s a welterweight who’s almost 40, there is no obligation). Yet there’s a super fight possibility here , that we should not ignore. Contrary to what some say on this forum, I believe he believes he could defeat Golovkin and he has voiced this.

You say you “get it”, I don’t think you do. Both have shown recent vulnerabilities. It makes sense, it has happened in the recent past to popular acclaim. In my opinion, and this is an opinion piece, this is the best fight for Mayweather money wise if it has a rematch clause. Marketing it is almost simple. We have the now unofficial pound for pound king vs the middleweight destroyer. If Mayweather gets knocked out, the rematch will generate huge interest. If he wins, he’ll receive just accolades. It’s a risk yes, but this is the dream fight and the best that boxing has to offer for maybe a year, if both remain undefeated.

As for your comment regarding Mayweather fighting Tyson Fury, don’t be absurd!

Since Pacquiao is about the same walking around weight as Floyd, is currently active, and two years younger, how about that big money match-up?

It's a challenge. Don't you like seeing someone challenge themselves. He's beaten manny, he's beaten canelo.

A challenge would be Lara.

Floyd simply isn't big enough. What part of has to eat to make 147 don't you understand?
If Floyd did what 99% of combat sport athletes do, he'd be fighting at 140.

We already know Floyd can outbox a come forward fighter.
Some of you are making GGG into this ATG thing, but not yet.
Basically, it's a fight where you're trying to see if Floyd can be perfect,
because GGG could put his lights out with one punch.

That's not a challenge, that's a lottery.
And it's pathetic, sad, lonely, jealous, hypocritical people's way of seeing Floyd lose.

Don't worry, you guys ran GGG away from Ward, but ran Ward into Kovalev.
That's your best lottery chance.

[boxing_rocks]

He will fight in this order:
Conor McGregor
Manny Pacquiao
Gennady Golovkin

and Mayweather will become the first athlete in history to have earned $1 billion.

If money was the only object, it would be Manny, McGregor, & Canelo.

GGG as an opponent for Floyd is basically someone saying, "I just wanna see Floyd lose".

I think Floyd would win that fight.............well that's who i'd be putting my money on Floyd style is the style to beat GGG.

Floyd himself doesn't think so or he would have taken that fight at 154.5, added another weight class to his collection and had a 50-0 record.

LOL! What are you talking about? And Lara, Lara!!! Fark me I would never want to see that. Your an exciting guy to suggest that.

It doesn't matter who said what. What matters is actions, and they say that Floyd doesn't think that he would win.

YOU SAID FLOYD HIMSELF DOESN'T THINK SO.................... HE CALLS HIMSELF TBE DON'T TELL ME HE DOES'NT THINK HE CAN BEAT GGG WHEN HE CLAIMS TO BE GREATER THEN ALI/SRR/LOUIS/PEP ETC ETC ETC ETC IF HE DOES'NT THINK HE CAN BEAT GGG HOW IS HE TBE

Are you still in kindergarden ? People say things they don't believe in quite often ...

[Badhusker]

If Floyd was GGG's age, and size, (naturally 20lbs heavier and 2-3" taller) He would absolutely clown GGG.

[boxing_rocks]

If Floyd was GGG's age, and size,

he wouldn't be Floyd we are discussing.

Whilst I don’t believe for one second that Floyd, in sporting terms, is the best boxer “ever”, I also refuse to consider the possibility that this moniker “should” only be bestowed to those fighters that pander to the masses by competing against other boxers holding considerable and insurmountable advantages in terms of physical size and youth. That’s just a hideously moronic way of thinking!

In my mind, it’s nigh on impossible for anyone articulate a compelling argument that is conveyed using angry capital letters, randomly spouting names, whilst repeatedly stuttering the phrase “et cetera” over-and-over again in a comical manner!

Floyd was hurt by straight power punches by both Pac and an old Mosley.. GGG's straight right would crush him and he knows it.. Brook was weighing in the 170's into the ring.. He took and early exit to avoid a certain smash out.. Golovkin never wobbled around the ring on rubber legs like Floyd did.. He could walk right through Floyd.. Floyd wanted to part of Kell Brook and cherry-picked Andre Berto.

Thanks for your opinion its a silly one in my view but just like me we can have our opinion
