12 Reasons Floyd Mayweather Will Defeat Manny Pacquiao
10. Floyd Has The Most To Lose
Nobody necessarily loses when one fighter stands to make no less than $120,000,000 and the other $80,000,000. However, when your nickname is “Money” and you call yourself “The Best Ever,” you need to win the biggest fight of your career.
What means more to Floyd Mayweather than the multiple zeroes he will see on his paycheque is the single zero at the end of his fight record. With one other fight left on his Showtime contract, a victory this Saturday would give Floyd the opportunity to retire after a September fight with a career record of 49-0.
The last thing Mayweather wants to do is take a loss when the finish line is in sight. At the beginning of training camp, Floyd wrote a letter to his entourage demanding they run any social media posts through him and that he will not take foolishness lightly like he has in the past. He is more focused on preserving his record now more than ever.
In the event he loses, the value of a September fight against anyone other than Pacquiao decreases dramatically.
Floyd’s legacy seems to be the only one up for discussion. Don’t think for a second that he doesn’t know it. It’s just a matter of deciding who is more dangerous: A man with nothing to lose or a man with EVERYTHING to lose?
