    Very unlikely. At least for the Pacquiao camp, it could have turned into a PR disaster.

    The dudes running for office in (what?) May :huh?

    Plus there were a ton of other ways to drum up publicity + hype for this fight.

    Why go for something that so heavily tarnishes the image of boxing:blood?


    It really doesn't add up.

    In an effort to find common ground, HBO analyst Larry Merchant -- who conceived of Pacquiao's moving up two weight classes to fight Oscar De La Hoya, whom he knocked out in a major upset -- suggested McCain mediate the issue if they could persuade him to do it.

    HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg took the idea to Arum and Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer. They were both receptive and set out to sell their sides on the idea Thursday, while Greenburg, who has known McCain for years, attempted to contact McCain.

    The notion was that McCain would have the gravitas to go with his reputation as a Washington deal-maker to be acceptable to both sides, not to mention his vast knowledge of boxing.
