At this point, there is, literally, no reason for Floyd not to fight Pac. There is no way, realistically, that Pac can demand an even split of the money, or take back what he has already accepted as terms for a fight with Floyd in the past such as Olympic-style drug testing.
It's all up to Floyd now whether that fight gets made or not. But no, what does Floyd Sr. say after Pac dominated Rios?
He says that beating Rios doesn't get you a fight with Floyd. LOL it's fukkin comical at this point. How many times can you duck a guy before the people saying that you're a coward get proven correct?
How many roadblocks can you put in the way of making this fight? LOL It's like he's saying that somehow Manny isn't a viable opponent for Floyd. Why does Pacman have to "earn" a shot at Floyd at this point?
This is Floyd ducking a guy he knows has a chance to actually beat him. Nothing more. And this is why he gets criticized.
