Floyd Mayweather dumps HBO for Showtime; set to face Robert Guerrero on May 4

Over the years, Floyd Mayweather (43-0-0, 26 KOs) has built quite the reputation, establishing himself as the best boxer in the world right now.  Mayweather isn’t just slick and hard to predict inside the ring, he's just as skilled when it comes to marketing.

He pump-faked the boxing world by mentioning Devon Alexander as a potential opponent for his next fight, then switched things up on Feb. 19, announcing a new partnership with Showtime/CBS and his May 4 opponent, Robert Guerrero.
"The deal -- a unique revenue-sharing arrangement between SHOWTIME PPV and Mayweather -- will enable him to fight up to six times over a period of 30 months, with the first mega-event taking place on May 4, 2013, when Mayweather will fight Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero. More details of this upcoming event will be announced shortly," a press release detailing the ground breaking deal stated.

The exact details of Mayweather's contract with Showtime PPV are confidential, but it's already being called one of the biggest contracts in sports history.  How HBO executives allowed to a guy like Floyd -- who generates massive amount of money for all involved in any of his fights -- is beyond me, but it's a move they'll regret for some time.

"Money" turned HBO's "24/7" series into an instant hit, with his colorful taunts thrown at Oscar De La Hoya leading up to their 2007 bout. Mayweather has clearly mastered the art of drawing fans/critics to everything he does, and many of those folks will tune in to Showtime when boxing's pound-for-pound king laces up his gloves on May. 4.

With one swift move, Showtime has overtaken HBO as the premier boxing network, while Mayweather uses his status to score a monumental contract.  Showtime will now enjoy the effects of Floyd's immense drawing power, and that of the long line of challengers hoping to get a shot at "Money."

Mayweather's advisor, Leonard Ellerbe, simplified things for fans.
"I'll liken this to a guy's relationship with his lady," Ellerbe explained. "When you have been in a long-term relationship with a young lady, you have to do the same things you did to get her to keep her. You can't take the relationship for granted."

Team Alexander confident Devon can upset Floyd Mayweather

Many in the boxing community were stunned when WBC welterweight champion, Floyd Mayweather, revealed that the front runner for his next fight -- which many assumed was Robert Guerrero -- is actually IBF welterweight champion, Devon Alexander.

Mayweather (43-0-0, 26 KOs) proposed the fight as a unification bout, but that won't be possible since Alexander (24-1-0, 13 KOs) is already under contract to fight mandatory challenger, Kell Brooks. The IBF has already stated it won't grant the welterweight champ an exception.

It's usually a smart idea to take everything Mayweather says with a grain of salt when he's in the process of negotiating, as he's proven to be a master at manipulating the media and boxing fans over the years.  For all we know, "Money" was simply trying to get a rise out of folks and some extra publicity when he made the revelation via Twitter.

Alexander's trainer, Kevin Cunningham, is obviously happy about the fact Mayweather is considering a fight against his pupil, and he even tried to goad boxing's undefeated pound-for-pound king during a conversation with Boxingscene.com.

"History always repeats itself," Cunningham said.  "In 1978, a fighter from St. Louis named Leon Spinks got the opportunity to fight the best fighter in the world, Muhammad Ali. Nobody gave Spinks a chance and we all saw what happened. Leon shocked the world and that is exactly what's going to happen if Devon gets the opportunity to fight Mayweather."

While Floyd says he's seriously considering a fight against Alexander, Cunningham refuses to hold his breath.

"Floyd says Devon is the frontrunner to get the fight but I don't blame him for taking his time with making a decision," Cunningham added. "Because if I know Floyd; he wants to keep his '0', so he better choose Robert Guerrero."

Cunningham might be confident about Alexander's chances against Money, but Guerrero is clearly the tougher option for Floyd's next fight.  However, even though many in the boxing community aren't exactly thrilled about a potential Mayweather vs. Alexander bout, the fight does make some sense if you look at it from Floyd's perspective.

After all, "Money" hasn't been inside the ring since his May 2012 fight against Miguel Cotto.  Devon doesn't hit nearly as hard as Guerrero does, making him the perfect tune-up opponent for Mayweather.
