    IF JMM wins MAnny still won't fight him, just like he didn't fight him after JMM KO'd a true 135 elite fighter in Juan Diaz. Floyd can fight Cotto (assuming he beats Clottey) or Shane for big paydays, be favored and generate enormous buzz. Who does Manny have besides Floyd, JMM (I don't think so), Bradley (doubt it), Cotto (Manny would get killed), Paul Williams (no way in hell), and all those fights generate less money than he could get fighting Floyd.

    No he shouldn't. Dude's been inactive and would be comin off an easy win in a tuneup. PBF can draw against anybody the crowd thinks can KO him, so they should split it 50-50, and it should be at 140 solid.

    Fail. Pac was already signed to fight Hatton long before JMM koed Diaz.

    Floyd has been retired for a year and is in AT&T national internet advertising campaign, being refered to as the undefeated champ and one of the best boxers ever. Floyd is well known by more Americans than Pac is.

    Yeh Pac may be 2nd at Floyd being known to America. But were talking globally now.


    Also most Americans would know Pac by now. HBO, Top Rank and GBP did tons of advertisement from the internet to local ads.

    My intention wasn't that he was ducking JMM to fight Hatton, it was that they could have put a 3rd fight into the works, but they havent and the answer is simple. Pac doesn't want to fight JMM anymore.

    pac could fight mosley or cotto and could get 60-70% of the share. **** floyd if he still insist he is the main draw. just fight guys like jmm, soto, gamboa and vazquez and get 90% share.

    Just becasue PAC lost in the past holds no weight on how the purse is divided up between Floyd and Manny. It has to do with where both men are in terms of their popularity, where they are in rank and their recent performances. It should be split down the middle in my opinion but there is no way in hell Floyd should get the lions share. 70%!!!!:rofl

    NEWS FLASH:

    Roach/Pac agreed to fight JMM after Hatton as long as its on Pac terms.

    Nacho already insisted that they don't like to go for Pac anymore that's why they took Mayweather. Nacho doesn't want Marquez to be near Pac at a higher weight class. He wants to pull him down back to LW where Pac is gonna have to shed more pounds.
