    Of course. In his last fight, which was fight and I think KO of the year, he had well over a million in PPV buys. The loss hurt his ranking, not his stock. We will be able to tell how much of a draw he is whenever he steps into the ring this year against Rios.

    Lol. .....no one who watches this sport would rather watch Floyd vs Rios over Pac vs Rios. The stylistic match up is so much more appealing between Manny and Brandon.

    Best part about Mayweather/Baldomir was the interview with Merchant afterwards.

    Every great fighter loses. Coming off a loss is no big deal. Quitting because you lose is. No one likes someone who gets knocked down only to remain there. You get knocked down 7 times. .......a champion gets up 8. You act as though a loss means the end, when in this sport a loss has been many times, a resurrection for these athletes. With Pac and Rios you will get a very short but extremely exciting fight. Mis match, but so was Floyd vs Rob earlier this month which was a masterful performance but lacked excitement.

    The irony of Pacquiao fans accusing JMM of being roided up. Hilarious that they are still making excuses for Pacquiao as well.

    I'm sure plenty do (well obviously) but his general aura has definitely waned of late.

    Not ironic at all. Manny was a ****ing flyweight champion who took on bigger guys than him. On the other-hand, Mayweather is a big guy who was afraid of Manny and is currently afraid of Canelo, both of whom he is taller than. No respect at all for Fraud Gayweather.

    I am interested in what he has left. Won't be buying the China card sadly unless they somehow get Rigo/Mares or something crazy on there.

    Most likely going to be that bum Shiming in there too :verysad

    Can't people just talk boxing anymore? Cut this hate **** out. :patsch

    I am a fan of Pacquiao but I will be the first to admit his fights with Mosley and Margarito were cherry picks by the time the fights went down, but fighting Marquez after three close fights was not picking on an old man. Nobody was picking on anyone, they had **** they needed to settle.

    Grow up.
