    i don't see any good ones for him...but these are the best imo.

    floyd....he's not gonna make that 40mil and he's definitely not getting a 50/50 split after his last showing....but it more than likely will be his highest paying option. he has zero chance of winning this fight imo.

    jmm....he's not gonna win this fight either....but at the very least he can dictate the terms and get the lions share of the purse. if he loses...or when he loses....his status is further diminished so his big payday factor will take another significant hit.

    bradley...i think pac loses this rematch....even if u scored that fight for pac...let's be honest...it wasn't an easy task...and i cannot see him improving on that performance. i think timmy beats him in much more convincing fashion in the rematch. again...like the jmm fight....he'll diminish himself even more by losing to bradley.

    retirement.....he could take the hagler approach and just call it a career. walk out on the heels of a controversial loss. he won't further diminish his status/mystique. but the paydays stop completely.

    what else is there???

    limited

    i say retire nothing left to prove

    JMM 4 to cement his legacy h2h or just risk losing and ****ing up everything he earned in winning the series

    Floyd but now it looks obvious he would lose, he will make a big check but prob wont perform well

    Brad 2 he in my eyes loses this one clear

    retire or take a guaranteed win that he could clobber to go out with a W

    Pac is still a great fighter, I would love to see a Cotto rematch at 154lbs.

    seriously doubt that happens. they wanted cotto at 147. i'm sure for the right money a 150 catchweight fight could happen. i don't see this as a winnable fight for pac though. cotto has improved big time since they last fought.

    Cotto looked reborn vs Floyd, manny looks to have slowed down a lot, a rematch could be worth while

    Pacquiao should take the 40mil and make it with Floyd. I think this is the better time than ever to pull what some don't believe he can. Floyd will take the win for granted and he'll be making a mistake.

    I think Manny's decline is exaggerated. As I said before countless times, it seems to me it is much more of a mental thing than physical. Yes he is showing signs of age but people act like the guy is shot. To me this is as much an insult to Bradley. He just beat a young, prime fighter. Bradley isn't Floyd Mayweather but he is a pretty damn good fighter and most people think Manny won. The biggest issue I see with Manny is he is lacking that intensity he once had.

    i'm pretty sure that 40 mil is off the table. he should have taken it when he had the chance.

    that's the best option imo...

    or theres this....

    i think they should serve up brandon rios. he really doesn't have a future at 140. bypass that division and give him to pac. he's not going to move...he'll be right in front of pac and will be perfect to add to pac's highlight reel. impressive ko coming right up!!! u cash out rios...pump new life into pac...gives him more time to avoid floyd....match bradley tough in the meantime, but make sure he wins. then serve up a diminished bradley to pac in the rematch. is toprank hiring?

    You do realize Pacquiao could win that fight. I mean your punching power its the last thing to go. That's why we play the games, race the races, and fight the fights. Besides, Pacquiao isn't shot, the unknown factor its gone, so unless you are a dummy, nobody going to run in to get punched out.

    The bigger obstacle to this fight is Pacquiao is no longer worth 40 million
