    there is really no way this fight doesn't happen.... unless JMM beats floyd which like i said is damn near impossible.... it was genius of JMM to call out floyd because floyd needed a warm up fight anyways.. plus they eventually will have the common opponent of pacman... so jmm basically conceded to recieving 10-15$ million to lose a fight... i mean he doesnt want to lose but he knows the odds are really against him..

    other wise.. its just a matter of when & where this fight happens... and other little details like ring size and **** like that

    Again. Arum makes more on Pac/Cotto and doesn't need Mayweather to sell tickets. I doubt Mayweather will fight Pac for what Arum offers.

    Right I have little to no faith in The Bobfather and Floyd Jr to come to a business deal on whose worth more.

    Once again, Pacquiao has said that if he fight Floyd he wants a 50/50 split, seems fair right? Now Floyd has said (I will try to find the story I read all this in) that if he does fight Pacquiao "Money" will accept "no less than 55%". Unless Mayweather or Pacquiao bend this fight will not happen.

    Wait until the PPV numbers come out for Mayweather/Marquez. They are going to have to be bigger to tell me Mayweather adds to the pot because you will have a lot of crossover. That is people that would pay for either guy. Not like Mayweather draws some huge crowd of his own. I'll be surprised if May/Marq reaches Pac/Hatton numbers to be honest. But, we shall see.

    Cotto-Maro outdrew JMM-Pac II so that's not exactly true.

    Not only that but Cotto vs Jennings had like 75-100K buys in PR.

    You think they care about Mayweather any more than Cotto at this point? Again, Arum makes out like a bandit for Pac/Cotto. Pac is the draw now. This question won't really be answered until we see what numbers May/Marq does though. We can guess all we want in the meantime, but that is the bottom line and I don't believe M/M will see the same numbers as P/H.
