    This.

    It would still be a huge PPV draw, but more as a curiousity event than an important bout. Sort of like Haye-Chisora.

    The sport would be much better off if they were both gone, much like K2.

    If it was to happen I would watch it, but truth be told I really don't care if it does or doesn't happen. I think most fans feel the same way.

    If Pac comes back and knocks out Bradley within a few rounds... Everybody jumps back on the Pac train. Mayweather is slowing down a bit as well, but thankfully his movement has slown and now he's forced to fight.
    I don't really see much decline in Pac except the fact he lets fighters off the hook, and isn't that hungry tazmanian devil we used to see. As far as skills he's more skilled IMO, but hopefully now that the Bradley crap took place we can see the hunger again!

    Neither fighter is exactly prime, but I seriously believe the fight would be more exciting now than back in say 2009. Back then Mayweather would get his bicycle, and Pac was even worse at cutting off the ring (I love Pac, but if that's possible LOL). We probably would have gotten a bore fest for the most part. Mayweather runs, potshots, Pac chases, engages, Mayweather holds, ref breaks it... Rinse and repeat. Now Mayweather stays and fights more, and we got ourselves a good fight IMO. Not exactly the same $ to be made, or same excitement for most people, but more than likely a more exciting fight than what we've originally got.

    The fight would still be huge, but they are both past their prime(especially Pac).

    It will probably go down in the history as the biggest fight that never happened...

    What a shame

    An argument can be made for this. Pac's last 5 fights have been boring as ****. Floyd is past it and I'm not sure he will deliver again. Having guys who are past it taking up all the Marquees isn't ideal.
