    He's NOT fighting GGG (nor should he have to) - forget that.

    I maintain the best option for him now is clearly Cotto at 160.

    Because Pac has been the boogeyman for the last 5+ years.

    - Because they'd make another 150 mill +
    - Because Pacquiao can fight w/o a torn rotator cuff
    - Because we deserve a better fight than what we got
    - Because we would get a better fight than what we got


    I mean, you would think by now people would understand Mayweather business etiquette. Low risk, high reward.

    Now, looking at all the opponents and Mayweather about to step out.. he will want the highest reward he can get, while still relatively being low risk.

    Who's that? Pacquiao.

    I'm not saying he should, but it's just how he works. He doesn't care to impress you. He just wants to be able to walk out with another huge payday, and not Thurman, Khan, Berto, no one can provide the payday Pacquiao can. It's easy money. And money isn't everything thing, it's the only thing.

    1. Doubt that! Probably wouldn't be anywhere close to that (especially for Pac who was clearly not on Floyd's level).
    2. There's no guarantees that the aging Pac will ever be 100% healthy again
    3. Deserve's got nothing to do with it.
    4. Pure speculation


    Then why did he walk away from an Oscar rematch?

    I don't believe pac has an injured shoulder personally. It's like an on going joke with someone of you people. You know the truth but keep echoing this nonsense for god knows why.

    I just watched a recent interview with Floyd as he broke down Pacquiao's style fighting him and what not. Floyd said he doesn't have the passion anymore. He purely does it for the money.

    "180 million in 36 minutes?" He said, "I had to do it."

    It wouldn't make 5 million PPV buys, but it could still make great numbers and definitely more than anything Khan or Thurman could give him, lmao.

    When it's all said and done, Floyd will look at the number again.

    "150+ million in 36 min versus a guy I already beat?" He'll say, "I have to do it."

    It's the way Floyd thinks. I'm sorry. It just is. And the fight is still low risk compared to to upcoming, prime lions.

    A rematch wouldn't get Mayweather anywhere close to 150 mil dollars.

    Pacquaio fans are really overestimating the public demand for a rematch.

    Mayweather v Canelo did over 2 mil ppv buys. Now tell me who wants to see that again?
