    Pacquiao Khan is very possible , it depends on how Khan does against top opposition in the near future , he would obviously have to train without Roach , but he would be safe in the knowledge that it would be a one off , and it would be an astronomical payday !!!

    This fight is more possible than people think IMO

    With the kind of revenue this fight generates Floyd doesnt need GB and he is not bound to any promotional company by a contract either .

    This statement does not in any way jepordise Pacquiao Mayweather should Floyd decide some day to take the fight

    Rivalries between promoters has been a problem since day 1, however these two bunch of ****wits (Arum & GBP) are taking it to a new level

    But that's why Don King is there.

    Money got no reason to stick with GBP. And technically, Arum said it in the article, that Money isn't a GBP fighter as of the news he has heard recently.

    The only GBP fighters that are worth Pac's time around his weight class are Ortiz, Khan and Alvarez.

    And Khan won't fight Pac.

    Last time Pacquiao fought outside of the TR stable - 2 years ago
    Last time Mayweather fought outside of the GBP stable - 4.5 years ago (?)


    Food for thought.

    Yes Don King is there but what is King offering and how much $$$ does he want? Does he want to sign Floyd and take 25% or what?

    irrelevant. floyd has no contract with gbp= not a GBP fighter. getting floyd out of his vacation is a bigger worry than any promotional issue here

    If this continues, Pac will join Floyd in the cherry-picking dept and will both become a joke in spite of their skills!

    Why do you all act surprised when Arum says this? He's said it like 3 times now.... Pac will only fight Top Rank fighters or fighters who recently left Golden Boy. I Highly doubt Mayweather is making the fight with Don King anytime soon. He will continue to work with Golden Boy, he has no reason not to. Maybe Pac really has been willing to blood test without cutoff dates but Bob won't negotiate those full terms?!
