    Not sure if serious...

    Broner couldn't cope with Vargas and Mikey's slow ass punches and didn't let his hands go until late in the fight. The difference is that Pac's punches are much faster and much more damaging. Broner will have to deal with elite speed, creative angles, and power he hasn't felt since Maidana.

    Broner's only chances are he catches Pac with a huge shot or drowns Pac in the late rounds because the old man can't go 12 anymore.

    The Mayweather fight is not guaranteed at all. And, in any case, Pac is to fight another guy/guys first. And I guess the IRS will try to lay hands on his purse...

    Ok, I thought that the debt is about $20 million (as estimated by ESPN), but, in Bob Arum's words, “it’s nowhere near $20 million." But let's say it's about $7 million. Pac won't even get that much for fighting Broner...

    Floyd's not throwing down with any young kats, so his only choices are Khabib as a tune up and then a Pacquiao fight (older, smaller, familiar).

    Floyd got money problems.

    Pacquiao is too old and faded even to beat Broner.

    I don't like this fight, I'm worried Manny will get hurt.

    I think this will be the deciding factor.
    No way does Pac take him out. And he is likely to start a lot stronger than Broner, who these days is notorious for starting slow.
    I think Broner will catch Manny with some brilliant counters later in the fight. And he will land some nice combos while Manny is resting.

    Manny can't go hard for 12 rounds. He can´t even go hard for 3 minutes. He takes breaks. Those breaks are opportunities Broner has to capitalize on.

    IMO, it will be a war and one of the best of 2019.

    Yeah, that sounds like a good plan, but what if Broner knocks Pac out, for example? :shocked: That will quite complicate the situation.

    I doubt he has money problems, but he has big money opportunities.

    Mayweather-Broner :deal:
    The buildup would be a beautiful cluster****.

    Predictable. Broner will have 50 aligned and walk him to the ring. Floyd will mention and repeat the Maidana/Garcia losses. Repeat for 2 months.

    The point was that Pac might not be able to get those "big Floyd money" and he owns a lot to the US government already. This is like "I'll find a job and pay you, I promise" in a sense. :smile:

    Pac can go and fight Garcia or someone like Berto. Rebuild and go after the Floyd fight again.
    It only takes one good performance to rebuild ones public image.

    Broner will come unhinged. Dude is a mental case.
    "I KO'd Poochiao! You ran scared of his ass!"
    :lol: The buildup would be 10x what the actual fight is

    Yes, that's true... And I think Pacquiao is worth more than $7 million to Floyd (who believes he can beat him again, and it would be a big money fight). So, Floyd or Al Haymon might pay the Pac's tax debt in advance.... But I'm not sure. :wink: So I expect complications and until Pacquiao vs. Broner fight is officially announced, it's not "confirmed" to me.
