If Pac is own the downslope, Floyd will already be past it; Mayweather is older, has hands that will never completely heal from all the breaks, and is more reliant on reaction speed.

I guess I think it's possible, but Floyd sees more value in keeping his undefeated record safe, than the extra money he would make fighting Pac and possibly losing it. With other fighters Floyd gets to keep the vast majority of the purse, whereas with Pac it will be 50/50 at best for him.

I think Floyd just values the record more, both as a financial asset and for ego.
