I believe PBF is hurting himself by coming back on PPV vs. Marquez!

    MHO, PBF thought that by picking Marquez for his return fight would earn him the leverage needed for the Pac fight in the future but I have this feeling is going to backfire on him.

    Maybe u don read well, but I said "a fighter on Pacs level in there prime", in no way, shape or form has Hatton ever brought the same level of difficulty as Pacman, if u think otherwise, then I don't know what to tell u....

    and at Reg....the money is defintaly right, even if Pac got the bigger purse, but he must know like I know that he can't beat Pac, so he won't take the fight

    Which is all I'm gonna say, time will prove me right, so just wait and you'll see...if Pac beats Cotto, Floyd will "retire" (for the 3rd time) or find som1 else to fight, he will not fight Pac

    Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Personally, I think that is't absurd to say Floyd can't beat Pac. Hopefully, we'll get a chance to find out.

    Floyd Mayweather is fighting Marquez becuase when he beats him, he will demand the bigger piece of the pot for Mayweather-Pacquiao, because right now he doesn't make a good argument as to why he should be the higher paid fighter if Manny dominated De La Hoya and Hatton better than Floyd did. Beating Marquez gives him a reason and confidence because Marquez gave Manny two fights of his life.

    He might be the best but he's not the most popular even Margarito was a much bigger name than Marquez in mexico and probably still is even after what happened. I think it will be a good fight because beating JMM isn't going to be easy like floyd thinks so there's a chance for an upset but it won't sell that much.

    Pac-Cotto is not gonna happen because Clottey is gonna win. and your saying Mayweather hasnt fought nobody of Pacmans level but you just said Pac is the best of this ERA, so how can Mayweather fight anybody like Pac????

    Most of you are missing my point here.

    Boxing is not a sport of what have you done for me in the past.

    Boxing is a sport of what have you done for me lately.

    If PBF vs. Marquez does not do well numbers, he will not get the biggest share when he faces Pacman!

    Remember this....

    Pacman defeated DLH way better than PBF

    Pacman defeated Hatton at Hatton's true weight in 2 rounds while PBF took longer.


    I am just stating the facts, PBF should have listened to Al Haymon's advice and fought on regular HBO but he didnt, he listened to his friends and preferred a PPV.....

    He might just regret it!

    Personally, I think it should be 50/50 Split on Everything IF they fight at 140. If PBF wants it at 147, he should make less. At 140, no fighter has the edge in weight, and both fighters are in their prime.

    PBF haters wouldnt be able to get upset at Pac at 140, because fair is fair!

    Then why don't you mention that Floyd is not the same fighter as Pacquiao. He does not come forward a lot, he's defensive minded not offensive like Pacquaio.

    Also you don't point out that Pacquaio beat both after Floyd beat them as well.

    For some reason that seems to be missing from most people statements here.

    Well, PBF and Pac are different fighters... Boxing would be boring if all fighters had the same styles... but that's what is unique about Boxing.

    Heek, I cant get mad a PBF for being one of the best defensive fighters in the History of Boxing... Yes, Pacman did defeat DLH after PBF did, and he did defeat Hatton after PBF did, but its not like PBF took anything out of DLH in their match. All PBF did was potshot on that one.....

    Versus Hatton, PBF did damage Hatton's confidence and put a but whooping on him...

    i'm buying it because its an intriguing matchup of styles. You won't see a display of boxing skills from two fighters ever in the same ring.
