    I don't think Mayweather vs Pacquiao happens. Surely Arum would favour JMM before Floyd.

    Arum is looking for Pac's replacement as his cashcow...
    Jr. Is on the cusp, he wins Vs. Martinez, Arum feeds PAC to Floyd.

    Arum won't dare put PAC in with Floyd. He knows he ain't nowhere near his level. If PAC does a Cotto and becomes a free agent when his contract is up... Maybe, just maybe the fight could happen

    yep Mayweather probably doesnt want to re match Cotto but its really his only choice if he wants to fight this year.

    What if Jr loses, which he probably will.

    I think Arum will time Pacquiao's fight with JMM so they automatically stay away from Floyd for another 8/9 months.

    arum is not the only problem in here. remember the insane demands floyd has made like no PPV share and his health priorities? floyd must find his huevos first and should be confident to risk his health in a pac fight.

    IF Jr. Don't come thru... Then we are back to no Manny/Floyd.
    Best chance will be IF Chavez wins & thus replaces PAC as Arum's new "Pet".
    (Only way it happens IMO)

    with khan's defeat, cotto is only his real choice.

    even if chavez wins, he is sill far from being the new cash cow compared to pac. the only way for this to happen is if pac retires or get beaten decisively in a khan or ortiz-like manner.

    ^That can be worked out, Mayweather realizes the PAC fight is running out of steam... The time is right, The chips are in place.
    (+ Floyd's backup plan going out the window this weekend helps)


    My new theory.

    well with khan losing, floyd has lost his return from prison fight that was being groomed by schafer since last year. garcia is supposed to be a huge bounce-back fight for khan after the so-so performance against pederson and khan-mayweather is supposed to be a big fight right now.

    i'm afraid that pac-mayweather woulld still not happen anytime this year yet. pac has two credible opponents in jmm and bradley. floyd only has cotto. even if floyd wants a pac fight this year, he may have to wait until next year after pac-jmm4 or pac-bradley2.
