    I think there is something to gain, he would have a lot of people watching but other than a rise in brand awareness I agree with him. I make him favourite in that fight, if he takes it that’s cool with me as its probably the best match up other than the Garcia.

    If he doesn’t and fights a unification that is also cool. Who would win you opinion.

    Thoughts?

    Biggest pay day. Biggest viewership. Beats a legend and raises his profile even more. There's a ton to gain.

    I think he means credibility wise but I agree with you in terms of people knowing who is, and having a big name on his resume it’s a no brainer. Unless he wants to unify or fight Garcia.

    Lots to gain.. Specially money.. However its too much weight for him. Would have to be at 140.. Anything less than that pac would be Delahoyin himself and thats not worth it. I say it doesnt happen but I would love to see the fight

    It would be lose-lose-win for Lomo. Assuming that the fight takes place at 140, if he wins,
    then his critics would say he beat a washed up old guy. If he loses, obviously that's a hit on his
    "legend". But he wins because he'll make many millions.

    I think Loma could get him down to 138 especially if he acts like he is not interested in the bout. Pac really has nowhere to go in terms of big money fights, maybe khan and Crawford can Horn winner.

    Pac is in that golden zone where he is still seen as a recognised big name in the sport and a big scalp if you beat him but in reality he is close to finished. For Lomo it would be a great name to have on his resume and would make good money. Its not like we wouldnt all watch it but id be nervous like i get for Roy Jones fights, all time greats like those should of hung those gloves up before now i dont like to see them taking beatings off Boxers that were once not fit to lace their boots.

    Even clearly past it Pac @140+ is a good scalp on your resume.

    It’s kinda like Pac did with Oscar. Catch him at the right time whilst he still has a good number of fans world wide but really like you said he is past it.

    It probably won’t be at 140 I imagine. If I was Loma I would try get it at 138.
