Rumour Mill - Mayweather to fight at Cowboys Stadium?

First topic message reminder :

I can't-in fact I WON'T-vouch for the accuracy of this statement, because the site it's from is pretty bloody awful, although behind their terrible writing there's usually a nugget of truth. Anyway, link's here:

Long story sport is that Roger Mayweather's apparently hinting at Floyd Jr fighting at the Dallas Cowboys stadium in late summer 2010. If true, the implications are obvious - pack the stadium more than a certain Filipino did, and restate your dominance as the so-called 'cash cow' of boxing.

Of course, uncle Roger could quite easily be saying something just to keep Floyd Jr's name in the media, but the other implication from this is that if Mayweather does fight at the Cowboys Stadium it's a clear precursor to setting the stage for a rubber match of negotiations, hopefully successful, between the Mayweathers and the representatives of the Filipino chap. I forget his name.

Wait and see, eh?

Because it is not official as yet.

People like Dan Rafael of ESPN.com has no mention of the possibility of a fight. Seems strange. Boxrec have it on Floyds record as an upcoming fight on the 11th of September. Seems a bit strange though.

Floyd has met Jerry Jones, Roger has talked about Ortiz, Ortiz has mentioned the fight and talks may be going on.

But the fight has not been signed as yet.

I doubt if floyd will fight on 911. What with the 10th Anniversary and everything around that date.

The only evidence seems to be a crack addict saying it might happen and Mayweather sitting ringside for his last fight. I also think Mayweather said that Roger wasn't speaking for him.
His court date was pushed back.
Mayweather has shown no interest in a fight.
Mayweather is definitely not fighting this year.

He did meet Jerry Jones the Dalas Cowboys owner and that my have started the rumours

To watch the superbowl.

He also met ex-president Bush, I wonder why else could Floyd be up to?

Running for congressman?
