    Pac is the man period, the p4p title is his. He should dictate the terms!

    If he is willing to fight Oscar at 147 why no PBF

    They would weigh in the same at 140 as they would at 147 so the weight is a non issue, infact it would be a better fight at 147 because they would be fresher.

    styles. Oscar was tailor made for Pac and would lose to him no matter the weight, year, or anything else. Floyd is a puzzle for Pac because of the style matchup

    at 147 PBF has a big size advantage over Pac, who just weighed in at 138 and could still make the LW limit easily.

    Mayweather would NOT HAVE A BIG SIZE ADVANTAGE over Pac. Mayweather fight night at WW weighs around 149 pounds. While Pacman fight night would weigh 148 pounds. One pounds difference.

    Pacamn can't make 130 anymore Roach has stated this.

    Any smaller fighter will try to close the weight difference so what- its not Pacsnatural fighting weight. I would say its now lightweight

    who said anything about 130? LW limit is 135, not 130.

    Pacman can no longer make 135. Roach has stated this and also Pac has been quoted saying he is still filling out.

    If you look at fight night weight both are the same weight roughly

    Roach said that Pacquiao had breakfast the day of the weigh-in, yet he still came in at 138. So now he can't make 135? its basic logic.

    Mayweather has NEVER weigh in at 150 fight night. The only time he weighed time he weighed in at 150 was against Oscar, but Ellebre said Floyd was underweight fight night and went back to to 148

    You know the answer to this - Oscar was the draw and the $$. Pac either accepted or walked away from a then career payday. Besides, making Oscar make 147 made an obvious difference, not so with Floyd.

    If the JMM fight is contracted at 144, the Pac fight will be, too. Pac holds a helluva lot more negotiating cards than JMM.
