If the proper circumstances are in place, trainer Abel Sanchez could see Floyd Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26KOs) seriously consider a fight with WBA/IBO/WBC interim-middleweight champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (31-0, 28KOs).
Mayweather has the WBC/WBA world titles at welterweight and junior middleweight. Golovkin is willing to drop down to the junior middleweight limit of 154-pounds to fight Mayweather or even 155 so the middleweight belts could be at stake.
The biggest fight for Mayweather is a welterweight unification with Manny Pacquiao.
Pacquiao faces Chris Algieri on November 22nd in Macau, China. Pacquiao is a very heavy favorite to win that fight. If Pacquiao wins, but fails to impress, Sanchez believes Mayweather will no longer view him as a very profitable option.
If Pacquiao has a lackluster win, but Golovkin pulls off an impressive victory over Martin Murray in February - Sanchez feels Mayweather might consider his fighter for a huge pay-per-view showdown.
"I think we have to wait on that one until the Algieri fight to see how good Pacquiao looks. If he doesn’t look good even if he wins, then it’s not a profitable fight for Floyd," Sanchez told On The Ropes Boxing Radio .
"Floyd understands the business as well as anybody in the boxing business and if it’s not a profitable fight and Golovkin does well against Murray, Floyd has got some decisions to make. Floyd’s about making the biggest fights and if Golovkin is the biggest fight, I’m sure that he’ll consider it."
