    Why do you think Team Pac will give out any advatnage to Floyd? If Floyd can't make 145 . . . then no fight. Life goes on. :deal

    Pac doesn't need money anymore, Pac has highest stature he can ever achive . . . Floyd doesn't have any title now . . . fighting Floyd would please the general boxing populace but wouldn't add anything to Pac's stature . . . is that risk worth taking? :think

    Nah . . . :-(

    Can't make 145? Then No fight! :yep

    :lol: :good

    Floyd looked sharp at 154 against Oscar and there is no doubt in my mind that he has filled out a bit ...

    I think the weight is going to be an issue and also the split is going to be an issue ... I'm don't think Floyd's side will budge because HBO really wants this fight.

    At the end of the day, the fight will have to be held at 147 - no matter what weight either fighter comes in at ... and Floyd has to get atleast +15% on the split ... even without a mega star dancing partner he still did 1m buys ... Pac has not come close until he stepped up against Cotto ... with that being said if it goes by numbers then Floyd should get it ... because when it comes down to it people are going to tune in to see if Floyd lose.

    Pac hasn't even got a chance to really be embraced by the boxing public because as soon as he won, the attention turned to Mayweather ... that just shows you how much pull Manny Pacquiao has ...

    I belive Floyd when he said they (the boxing community) is looking for someone who can knock him off ... they did it with Judah, Hatton, Corrales, DLH, G. Hernandez, now they're doing it with Pacquiao.

    Pacquiao no matter what he does will never be as skilled as Mayweather and he will never be able to make adjustments during a fight - they come in with a game plan and if it isn't executed properly, there is no plan b or c ... they just fight hard and go out on their shield. (entertaining but you fight to win)

    of course pbf will go for ay advanage he can get. thats what he is. he always needs to have the advantage in the back of his mind, for confidence sake.

    your sarcasim is hilarious. pbf never fights guys who have a fair advantage, and sorry to say, the skill of pac far exceeds that of pbf.

    Also, the boxing public loves Pac - your blatant and American-centric ignorance of waht exactly the 'boxing public' is, underscores your stupidity.:rofl

    At this point with both holding world titles why there should be a catchweight? Being champion at a weight means you should have to defend it at that weight.
