Probably for September this year. And Robert wants revenge for his defeated fighters, Margo and Rios. Team Pacquiao will more likely to sign this fight, Roach knows Manny can handle pressure, aggressiveness, forward-type of fighters. And if Pacquiao dominates Maidana, expect a huge uproar for Pacquaio-Mayweather superfight on May next year 2015. That would be the only way to bring back the Pac-May fever.
The reason for Pac-Maidana fight is for people to have comparison between Pac and May. This past few years, most people tell Pacquiao is too old, he wouldnt beat Floyd. But now Pacquiao beating Maidana who pose a lot of problems with Mayweather will bring back the excitement just like when Manny beat Oscar and Hatton. A lot of people gave Pacquiao a huge chance that time to beat Floyd. Still a 50-50 fight for me though.
Problem is Maidana is signed to Al Haymon. So unfortunately we can't see any of these cross match ups to gauge the level of these fighters. In a perfect world, we'd see Pacquiao-Mayweather and Bradley-Maidana on the undercard. Thx Al Haymon. Thx Arum.
Maidana lands any clean shot on paqs head area its KO win. I don't think paq would be a live dog in there. chino hits harder, has a better chin and is so wild its very dangerous in there
