Oscar v Mayweather next. I don’t care about Floyd Sr. This fight makes sense and it’ll make dollars. Plus it’ll give Floyd the rub to be a big PPV guy.
Oscar said in interviews that the only fights he really cares about at this stage and is considering as his retirement fight is Felix ‘Tito’ Trinidad II & Floyd Mayweather Jr. I imagine, however, Tito will have little interest in returning after getting embarassed badly by ‘Winky’ Wright and wants to keep his 1-0 record over Oscar. Floyd would anyway be the definitive fight for Oscar at this point considering most people consider Floyd the #1 Pound-for-Pound fighter in the world and going out win or lose against him would hold more value than beating a Trinidad who was badly exposed as a one dimensional fighter with no second gameplan in his last fight.
