Mayweather tried to set up a fight with Gervonta Davis. But Davis didn't answer and ended up signing a deal to box Jake Paul instead. Now, Mayweather's come up with something else.
He's pushing for a match between Lamont Roach and Curmel Moton. Mayweather shared this idea on social media, and it got people talking.
Roach didn't like the suggestion. He challenged Mayweather to fight him instead. On social networks, Roach said:
"Come on, Floyd...! Get ready for the fight! We can run it; let's see how much you have left!"
Mayweather didn't back down. He posted on Instagram:
"Let's make this fight happen! @curmelmoton1 is already in; Roach, let's do it. Even if I have to put up the money"
Roach warned Mayweather about pushing Moton too fast. He said it wasn't personal, but Moton wasn't ready.
Moton got upset. He fired back:
"Let's do it then; I'll show the world what's really going on!"
Roach tried to be nice about it. He said Moton was doing well, but he wanted bigger fights. Moton didn't like that either. He claimed he was more famous in boxing and accused Roach of holding him back.
Roach made it clear he wouldn't go easy on Moton. He said even with Mayweather's support, Moton needed to improve his ranking and fight easier opponents first.
Roach's advice makes sense. Moton is still young in his career. Fighting someone with over ten years of experience could hurt his future in boxing.
