Kenny Bayless ruined that fight. There were a handful of times he broke them up before anyone even clinched. It ensured that the fight was going to stay on the outside which is a huge advantage to Mayweather. Luckily Maidana's much improved jab, his feints and his patient gameplan let him do SOME damage and win a couple of rounds. But the lack of in-fighting + Mayweather holding anytime MM anytime he got close (and being rewarded by having Bayless break it up immediately) gave Marcos no chance. It was clear the politicking got into Bayless' head. Warning Maidana about low blows that didn't happen, deducting a point with no warning, breaking them up anytime mayweather thought about a clinch, etc. Pretty sad.
With that said, I doubt Mayweather takes on Thurman. Same reason everyone else is ducking him. Too good and doesn't bring enough money. He needs a big win or two. The guy is an awesome exciting fighter with a real personality. The casual fans need to see him ASAP
