To make the fight even more exciting and historic (as if it's not all of these things already), the fight should happen at 154, for a junior-middleweight title, to give Manny the opportunity to become the world champion across 8 weight divisions.

 

Let the pricing yourself out of the fight begin. Floyd probably couldn't even sleep last night.

 

Floyd will prove once and for all he is the best fighter of his era bar none.

 

Hell no, to make it exciting and historic it should be at a weight both men are at their best at. 144 or 145 would be preferable. Boxing is ultimately about FIGHTS not historical oddities

 

I'll be the first to say no, it's Pacman who is going to prove he is the best fighter of his generation bar none, after winning a clear decision over Floyd.

Not only the best fighter of his generation, but the best fighter since Duran.

 

Agreed. Im unbelievably excited about this fight

 

I think Floyd should train in the Philippines so he could make use of the countries wonderful steroid supply too...

 

Yeah I hear they've got the best shit over there

 

I'm going to predict Pacquiao by KO. If the fight happens.

 

the shit talking from Roger Mayweather about Pacquiao and Roach should be classic...

 

That and karaoke bars...world leaders in both.

 

Yea that gonna be a must see for real on 24/7... I can't wait..

 

That I would love to see, but I think it's unlikely.

I have no doubt Pacman is going to put the hurt on Floyd, but Floyd will bitch up and get on his bike like Cotto, and run away. The difference is Floyd is harder to hit, so it'll be harder for Manny to force a stoppage.

Of course, Manny might actually KO him, but I think Floyd has a decent chin.

So Manny by clear decision is my pick.

 

:: :bears:

 

Floyd is going to ask for 65% of the purse and price himself out until he realizes that a 50% purse is going to be $25 million. ::

 

::

What a tremendous cultural contribution to the world...

MTF

 

Even if he beats Pacman, he has not had the career Pacman has had. It will be a good win, but Pacman will have had a vastly superior career.Floyd will need a few more fights to prove that.

 

Mayweather needs Pac....Pac can retire now as the best fighter of the past 20 years

 

Yup...whatever the outcome of their fight....Pacquiao will always be greater than Mayweather.

Mayweather should've fought Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Williams, when he had the opportunity 2-3 years ago.

 

These Negotiations will MAKE or BREAK the Remainder of Floyd's Career...Manny Pacquiao is THE ONLY Fighter REED Wants to See Floyd Sharing a Boxing Ring w/...If he BULLSHITS the Boxing Public by NOT Fighting Pac (for WHATEVER Reason), Floyd will have Lost Any Remaining Credibility he Had...



REED:hammert:

 

and would u say that all the pressure is on Mayweather to make the fight happen....so if Pacquiao wants 55% Mayweather would to accept.and take the fight...?

 

the fight will happen

 

Ultimately, The PPV Sales from Pac-Cotto will B the Determining Factor...Pac-Cotto would have to SHIT on the Sales of Mayweather-Marquez for Pac to RIGHTFULLY Expect 55%...

The Pressure IS On Floyd to Make this Fight Happen, but NOT to the Point of ALLOWING Pac to Make ABSURD Demands...Just Because Pac is More LIKABLE than Floyd DOESN'T Mean he DESERVES a Bigger Cut...



REED:hammert:

 

Yep. Way too much dinero for these guys. There will be alot of bitching at the negotiating table for weeks/months but they will work it out.

 

Rog to my knowledge, is in the joint, bro.

Floyd Sr. will be the trainer for this fight.

I'd accept Floyd not fighting Pac if he fights Mosley ( only if Mosley looks good vs Berto )

 

He beat up a former female fighter of his and was being held without bail, bro.
