    My Vote: Fight don't happen.
    To many obstacles for this to go down 100%.
    (Alot of free time & not enough Manny fights left between now & a set date)

    I think it will happen. There's too much demand and boxing needs superfights right now.

    The fight has to happen. NO way around it at all. PPL will look for Arum if he doesnt get this done, we know Mayweather is down, but Roach and punk ass Arum act like they dont want none.

    At first, when Mayweather announced his comeback and Pac destroyed Hatton, I thought it would definitely happen if/when Mayweather beats Marquez.

    However, after hearing Roach & Arum's comments, I do not think it will happen. They both say they prefer to go after Mosley or Cotto because PAC/Mayweather will be a boring fight. They are trying to pick fighters whos styles are favorable to Pac.

    Unfair to the fans!

    There's a strong chance it won't happen when you have a POS like Arum that will try and say Pac is the draw on deserves a 60/40 split. Not only that they realize that PBF is a stylistic hell for their fighter.

    I am 100% for this to go down.
    (regardless of setback's L's, $ disputes whatever...)

    Just from a styles standpoint.
    But I'm not to sure...

    I think the only chance it might happen is if Clottey beats cotto.

    Money Talks! It will go down, unless there is an upset before that.

    I agree. Clottey beating Cotto would defo ruin Arums plan.
    (Unless JMM defeats Mayweather Jr.)

    Seems like Arum might be willing to play the waiting game on Mayweather.
    ( A tactic used very wisely by Team Mayweather themself)
