Like I said, I think Floyd deserves a pass on his last fight, he has nothing to prove; he easily beat the man you guys said would KO him and now y'all start hollering about GGG since there is no fighter at WW that can beat him.

Personally I'd like to see him fight Thurman but honestly I don't believe Keith has even done enough to have earned that shot yet, by all accounts Porter has done more, Khan is garbage like I've been saying for years now, Brook hasn't done enough either and no one I know wants to see a rematch between him and MP.

Unlike you though, I have no problem seeing him get an easy fight for once, especially since this is supposed to be his last fight.=God knows he's earned it.

I wouldn't mind Thurman either, see when you answer questions posed instead of abusing me, I don't abuse you back, if he had an easy fight I'd actually like it to be broner due to the size of his mouth, but at his level an easy fight shouldn't be tolerated no matter how many fights he has had

An article on 24/7, don't know validity. By Chris Williams: The baddest man in the planet Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26 KOs) says he’ll be sticking around to go after his 50th win of his career. He’s been saying that he would hang up the gloves after his fight this September, but on Wednesday, Mayweather said he’ll be fighting on for his 50th bout, which will take place in 2016.

Mayweather hasn’t commented on who he would be looking to fight for his 50th fight, but it might be Manny Pacquiao if he plays his cards right and shows Mayweather some kind of acknowledgement for him beating him last May. Pacquiao might also have to show that he’s ready to come in at the nice price for the rematch by agreeing to something that will make Mayweather happy.

In this case, the magic words that Pacquiao could say is ‘I’ll accept a 70-30 cut of the revenue.’ It was 60-40 last time, but with Pacquiao’s loss and his subsequent injury excuse for his loss, I see that number going down to 70-30 if he wants to fight Mayweather a second time, and I have a feeling that Pacquiao badly wants a rematch.

even 70/30 it is more money than Pacquiao could make anywhere else.
I think it is an acceptable split and we will be seeing it in May
