Can you see HBO offering Pacquiao a similar deal to what SHO did for MoneyMay?

    We all know that Pacquiao is the number #2 guy in boxing in terms of popularity....unless the loss to Marquez has caused half his fans to leave him which I doubt.

    Personally I think GBP have the far better roster of fighters but do you think HBO might push the boat out and sign Pacquaio to a big multifight deal?

    Not necessarily a $300 Millie contract although maybe you think they will?

    The fact is love him or hate him Broner is going to command big views and they passed on him, Showtime now have all the big names : Mayweather, Cotto, Khan & Canelo the only one left is Pacquiao.

    Manny is coming off two losses, one of them being a brutal KO. No. He won't be fighting much longer.

    They HAVE to do something at this point. They're looking like a deflated giant and SHOWTIME continues to slap them in the face publicly. No one cares about the Mayweather contract and switch because no one really enjoys his fights, people just watch to hopefully seeing him get hurt. HOWEVER, GB completely shunning HBO is something that has to be dealt with considering they are one of the two major powerhouses in the game.

    I agree with low blows.

    Manny isn't staying any longer in the spotlight... he's lost the love/hunger... he was going through the motions.

    I think they will make sure his next fight is on HBO, espicially if its another Marquez fight which will do big business.

    Will they offer him a big paying multi fight deal like Floyd has got with Showime, I would doubt it

    No, they don't have to.

    And no guarantee how his skill or stock is after the KO6.
