    Both still great fighters and it would be interesting to see.

    However, with Pac arguably having unfinished business with Bradley and maybe even JMM and Mayweather's condition once out of jail, is the huge demand still there?

    All the arguments over money, drug testing etc makes it seem like a near impossible task and with each fighter not getting any younger, is it still the "biggest fight" out there?

    Constructive debate if you can. None of this "Floyd/Manny beats his ass EASY :deal"

    It's dwindled quite a bit but it's obviously still the biggest fight to be made. If Pacquiao can look spectacular again that would help.

    I don't really care for it any more to be honest. I'd rather see May - Martinez.

    Most hard core fans couldn't give a **** about it. I wish they both retired and took their fans with them tbh.

    Yep it has. That being said it is still easily the biggest fight in boxing.

    I always had Mayweather winning this fight (although the Pac vs Cotto could have made things interesting for a while), but Pac is DONE now. He has no motivation, no stamina, looks more faded every fight, etc.

    Pac is past it, no more hunger for the sport for years now.

    Shame if they are considered "past it."

    I'm quite new to boxing and don't have a lot of experience, but can boxers "roll back the years" for a massive fight? Is it a rarity?

    The fight shouldve happened in 2009/2010 & wouldve been great.

    Both guys have declined since then, there are other fights which interest me more.
