    Pacquiao “I want Matthysse,”

    Would this generate enough interest?

    I think it would be an entertaining fight.

    It's a good fight and you have Crawford as co mainevent. Problem is, it's on ppv.

    I say make the fight. It's a solid match up since both guys are at similar levels at the moment. They are both faded to differing degrees, but still dangerous in their own rights. Plus, it would be a big payday for Matthysse who deserves it for giving us so many awesome fights.

    Absolutely....fight fans kind of fight. They both come to fight and throw caution to the wind. I believe PAC wins but was surprised how well Horn did by fighting PAC with a very bullish style. PAC won in my opinion but Manny didn’t look like the younger PAC who would have destroyed a guy like Horn. Lucas is also older and a bit slower, more thoughtful but still likes to go in. I like this fight more than PAC/Alvarado.

    I would agree that the two co-main event aren't PPV worthy.

    I ‘ll bet ....
    ......... Pacman doesn’t know who Matthysse is.

    Horn Crawford and Mattysse pac ppv will sell 10x more then swapping Mattysse with Alvarado. Alvarado is a meth head bum at this stage.

    Horn/Crawford is a mismatch. Pac beat the hell out of Horn, but Marsa Bob Arum wanted Horn to win..............Pac/Matthysse would be very interesting fight, Pac has the speed, but can't afford to make a mistake because of Matthysse's power...............

    I’d be all up for watching that ... neither will take a step back so would be a nice clash of styles

    Pointless yet highly entertaining fight. This fight could also prove to be far more dangerous for Pacquiao than people might think.
