    I want Pac - Hatton first as I feel Pac wins this one and it will be a great fight.

    But if I'm Pac, I take Mayweather first because the Hatton fight will always be there.

    If Pac somehow lost to Hatton, the Mayweather fight goes away.

    How the hell would FMJ trash-talk Manny, just curious.


    Anyway, I think FMJ frustrates the hell out off Manny from rounds 1-6 and Pac gets frustrated - starts lunging in with the left leaving the head a target zone for FMJ. Points win.

    (Believe me I'd rather see Manny win)

    I'm cool with them fighting. Hatton or Mayweather is fine with me.

    That makes no sense to me. Taking Mayweather first is ******ED. Financially and logictically it's completely stupid. Mayweather is the tougher fight, and probably less lucrative - not to mention the fact that there are absolutely no guarantees that Hatton will still be interested/available after Mayweather hands Pacquiao's little overgrown head to him. Team Pacquiao is getting ARROGANT, and they'll pay for that arrogance dearly if they try to go about it this way.

    Floyd first. Pac could still fight Hatton win or lose. But if he lost to Hatton, Floyd wouldn't come out of retirement for him.

    Why not both? The chances of Pacquiao/Hatton decrease drastically if/when Mayweather beats Pacquiao. I can practically guarantee Ricky will focus on and probably get a rematch with Mayweather if Pacquiao freezes him out of this fight.

    His point is Mayweather has one foot IN the door and one foot out. If he fights Hatton and loses to Hatton, Mayweather could simply say to him "I fought and KO'd Hatton, you lost to him" and stay retired. Hatton really only has one or two "big money" fights. One with Cotto and one with Hatton...so unless Hatton probably has no issue with taking a busy fight in the UK against one of the viable threats at 140 while Pac and Floyd face off.

    Floyd-Pac is the bigger cash fight.

    I totally disagree - and I usually agree with you. Explain this if you would. ^

    Floyd is pretty much only discussing coming out of retirement because someone is currently pushing him for the #1 P4P spot. Manny KOing Oscar pretty much got Floyd's attention and a loss against Hatton would pretty much let Floyd rest knowing that the heir to his P4P throne couldn't beat somebody he did.

    Never underestimate the fickleness of Floyd Mayweather Jr.
