    I dont even care for May-Pac anymore to be honest. I dont know why people still do. It didnt happen when it was supposed to, and I wouldn't buy it to see a watered down version of what would have possibly been the biggest fight in the history of the sport. They won't get my money if the fight happens now. I would watch, but I wouldn't buy. These two have declined considerably. And Im not gonna pay full price for half of the fight it would have been in 2010. As soon as the fight signs (if it happens) I hope that **** flops like a fat ***** in a kiddie pool. I swear. This should be the last time two fighters avoid eachother so much. It f-----d up the sport. I won't buy that ****. You wanna make the fans wait and still pay 80 bucks for a fight that won't be nearly what it was? NO. That's how you make a statement. Sign the fight, and have that **** flop. We get what we want, and they (Pac, Floyd, Arum etc) get a lesson.

    But I will watch their remaining fights because they are about to be gone soon, and you should appreciate them while they are here. Im surprised people really care so much about this fight so much. I wanted a 32/33 year old Floyd vs a 30 year old Pac. Not a 37/38 year old Floyd, vs a 36/37 year old Pac. I don't want that watered down ****. And you shouldn't either. It's an insult to boxing fans if that **** happens now.

    I've bought every Floyd PPV since 2007.
    And every Pac PPV (sans Rios) since 2008.

    But they won't get my cash if they fight now. F*** that fight.

    Many people are saying the same yet when/if it gets officially announced and the closer the fight gets literally everyone is going to buy the PPV and tune in.

    Oh no. I'll be tuning in. For sure I will be. I wouldn't miss watching the fight. I just wouldn't be paying for it. I'll take my ass down to a bar or something. Everyone in America should host a fight party to limit the amount of PPV buys.

    Limiting PPV buys isn't doing the fighters risking their lives in the ring any justice, and if these fighters don't make good money doing what they do, they're better off finding another sport. When/if that happens the first people to cry about it with their "Boxing is dead" threads are the fans. I think we both know why Americans prefer making careers in the NFL than Heavyweight boxing.

    You make it sound like they are walking away with chump change. If that fight happens they are walking away with a minimum of 35 Million Each.
    They are still getting paid. And Im not limiting PPV buys. Like I said, I buy most PPV's. But that fight wouldn't get my money, because they dropped the ball on a landmark. When its time to talk about this era 30 years from now. We'll say it didn't happen.

    Can you imagine no SRL-Duran, Sugar Ray-Lamotta, Ali-Frazier etc etc?

    They dropped the ball, and for that I hope it flops.

    You'll buy their every fight unless they fight each other b/c they haven't fought each other? That makes no sense. :verysad I have high standards no matter what the situation, I ask myself are both these guys PPV quality. Why I also didn't buy Pac vs Rios.

    Think it would have been better in 2009 - 2012 but who are they realistically going to fight now that would be better than fighting each other?

    I say that because their careers are almost over, and I don't want to miss out on any of their masterclasses (or upsets)

    I almost didnt buy Pac-Marquez 4, I was gonna go out to a party, and last minute I changed my mind. And Im glad I did.

    If you are a fan of boxing you are buying this. Its a no brainer.
    Pro tip: Dont say "im still watching it im just going to go to a pub"...you might as well buy it. Unless you're a cheap ass slurping water and eating house french fries, a night at a pub watching boxing is expensive as hell.

    You can't compare another decade with this one, the economy and the population doesn't remain the same and overlooking those facts as well makes you a rather odd individual for an educated adult(which I assume you are).

    So you buy fights like Floyd v. Ortiz, Floyd v. Guerrero, Floyd v. Maidana, etc. etc,

    But you're trying to tell us you won't buy Floyd vs. Pacquiao? yeah… ok. You say that now, but if it ever happens, You will cave along with everyone else.

    If the fight ever happens I guarantee you'll be watching, just like the rest of us.
