    Even after the sour taste of the first fight, this would still do at least 3M+ PPV buys. Still the biggest fight to be made by far.

    Better fights to be made for boxing? Yes. Financially, No.

    With regards to the claim that Pacquiao's injury was fake cause he raised his arms at the end...

    "I know I can totally refute that. I had torn rotator cuff and I played games with it — not only raised my hand. I'm not gonna say it didn't hurt but you can certainly function with a torn rotator cuff; it depends on how much it's torn."

    (Or is Mike Golic also on Top Rank's payroll?)

    Lol. Are you trying to undermine his opinion by saying he's not a trained doctor? Why should it matter when he's actually experienced playing as a professional athlete with a freaking torn cuff.

    Even if he was an MD his opinion wouldn't matter, cause anything he said would be dismissed as being the result of a bribe (like Pac's surgeon).

    Point being 'you can certainly function with a torn rotator cuff'. The injury was real, it wasn't the reason pac lost though, he had no problem throwing his right.

    I think everyone agrees Pac doesn't deserve more than 20% this time around. His performance and post-fight excuses were just so awful.

    "Function" is not necessarily synonymous with "perform to the extent of your potential."

    Pacquiao was scared to throw and couldn't get himself in range, that's down to his footwork, does a 100% right rotator cuff change that?

    just being able to function and functioning to your best is different things.

    Could be career ending but you've already started a thread about them negotiating the rematch? :huh
