As brilliant as he is in the boxing ring, and he is brilliant, Floyd Mayweather's decision to retire from boxing before the De La Hoya rematch and the subsequent decisions he made that cost him his life savings during the 18 months he spent off, make it resoundingly clear to everyone that Floyd Mayweather Jr, is not the brightest light bulb in the chandelier.

Ever the flickering bulb, the Mayweather (not Golden Boy, so Arum owes me all of the money in the world) decision, to go public via their publicist prepared statement, takes the cake.

Other than himself, Mayweather has nobody to blame for the current position he finds himself in, but the person who authorized that statement to go public. That decision wound up costing him a career high payday against Manny Pacquiao, and placed him in the middle of a defamation lawsuit that might cost him future funds he can't afford to lose.

Since it's quite clear that the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Jr mega-fight is no longer happening on March 13, with Pacquiao running for congress, September or even later in the fall would seem the like the logical destination for any rescheduling.

It's also quite clear that Floyd Mayweather's BIG money options, are few and far between.

The only other name that comes to mind is future hall of famer Sugar Shane Mosley, who first has to defeat undefeated WBC champion Andre Berto on January 30.

Mosley is favored to take care of business against Berto. If he does, Mayweather will have found his only way to save face following his ruining of the Pacquiao fight, a move that has many boxing fans demanding that Floyd undergo random blood testing for estrogen poisoning.

You see, Mosley wants to fight Mayweather more than Mayweather wanted to ruin the Pacquiao event. And Moley has made it perfectly clear to Boxingtalk.com that he's ready, willing and able to take any test Mayweather might request.

Of course, Pacquiao never being affiliated with Victor Conte or Balco, could have something to do with he and Shane winding up on opposite sides of the spectrum as it relates to undergoing additional testing not required by the NSAC, just because Floyd says so.

In either event, on January 30, Mayweather should be seated ringside with his Sugar Shane pom-pom's on and hope Sugarman isn't suffering from another sweet-tooth because Mosley is THE ONLY other mega-fight out there for Floyd .

Although Floyd will do much better than the 50-50 split he and Pacquiao agreed to, many believe Mosley is a tougher fight for Mayweather than Pacquiao.

Mayweather's current position in the public eye has hit an all-time low, and that's saying something for someone capable of coming off so obnoxious he makes the angry version of my friend (and I don't mean that sarcastically) Jeff Wald appear courteous.


Mosley undergoing the additional tests that Pacquiao has refused would give Mayweather stronger position in the court of public appeal moving forward againt Pacquiao somewhere down the line.

In the meantime if Mayweather desires to issue another publicist prepared statement, perhaps he can fill us in on his open cases with JP Morgan Chase and the Ashley Realty Group in the court of Clark County. Those cases are viewable here.
