    the prospect of a pacquiao mayweather fight, from a fans perspective is the equivalent to a female who keeps insinuating that she wants sex, but blows you off or turns you down everytime you get close to hitting it. it's very easy to get sick of this, especially after three years. her flirtatious behaviour becomes more and more irritating as time goes on and it all becomes a big joke.

    We can compare it to the big 3 of Boston(thought Allen is no longer in Boston), 3 years ago Boston is great, but now they are old. Pacquiao is past his best..

    An athlete can decline in two years, just look at Boston few years ago they are good but now they are old.

    Nope, Pacquiao of the Cotto fight will beat Floyd, thought I still think Pac of today has good chance to beat Floyd.

    I think the demand isn't as high because most accept it won't happen and Floyd is alot better than Pac, the amount of people believing Pac would win is dwindling

    We'd all buy it and that would be our plans, it wouldn't be a maybe, or if we're back from our night out in time - every boxing fan will make sure they watch it.

    But none of us really give a **** about it, until it's made. I don't know if it means the demand has dwindled, probably.

    I think the world knows that Pac can't beat May. I think a good portion of Pac's fanbase were those that just hoped that he could beat Mayweather. Now that they have lost faith in his ability to do that, his fan base has shrunk.

    Exactly.

    Let the hype machine start pushing more of the young & hungry guys. get them in front of the casual fans.

    It took awhile. But, the demand has faded. I don't even hear people talking about it anymore. Personally, I don't care if I see it or not at this point....leaning more towards 'not '.

    Yes, it has.

    It's sad as a boxing fan to see people talk about Mayweather-Cotto(e) rematch so much like it has precedence over Floyd-emmanuel.
