    Probably Pac then hopefully takes on winner of Mosley/Cotto but you never know with Gaylord Ellerbe at his side what type of decision Mayweather is going to take.

    If Floyd actually describes this in his own words as a 'tune-up' I will lose any respect I ever had for him. JMM is no tune-up, for anyone.

    JMM is my favorite fighter, but this really is basically a tuneup for PBF. JMM looks small at 135, he will be absolutely tiny at 145. PBF imho isn't a true 147, but he's a damn big 140 by now and he can carry 147 effectively.

    Mayweather will likely take the road that leads to a lot of dollars but little risk.

    Mayweather is a master at risk analysis.

    Pacquaio of course. Hes praying Pacquaio wins because he doesnt want to fight Hatton again and I cant blame him. If Hatton pulls it off then hes gonna fight JMM then Pacquaio.

    If this is a tune up for floyd he must be unbelievably confident even though he hasn't been in the ring for nearly 18 months.

    He's not a tuneup for Pac...PAC will fight Cotto after there fights (assuming they both win) and Floyd has said he doesn't want to fight Pac.....not to mention it's a fight that just can't happen since Flour would want the bigger cut but at the very least, it would have to be 50-50

    Also Arum makes more money off of Pac-Cotto, then Pac-FMJ....so it ain't gonna happen, this tuneup **** is just bs his fans made up to justify his cherrypicking
