    The reason the floyd canelo fight sold is the undercard was great

    This could be good news if it forces a fight between Mayweather and Pacquaio.

    However, it will be a shame if Mayweather doesn't cut Pacquaio a good deal.

    Pacquaio has earned it with his all action style.

    I don't care if it's 50/50, but Pacquaio deserves a good payday.

    The better news is we may never have to watch Shou Shining again.

    You hate both the Chinese and the Filipino people? Do you hate all Asians or just islander's and east Asians?

    I predicted around 500K. I knew this was not going to do big numbers.

    I agree. Pacquaio was coming off of a loss, Rios was coming off of a loss, and the undercard was terrible.

    However, we found out that Pacquaio can't keep getting in with these big guys who can punch and take a punch or he'll eventually suffer the same way Martinez did against Chavez by being worn down.

    We also found out that Pacquaio doesn't want to fight anymore. It was in his eyes and his statements to Max Kellerman.

    This means the only viable fight out there is Mayweather.

    If it doesn't happen now, it's never going to happen. I don't ever want to see Pacquaio vs Bradley again. It was hard enough to watch the first time. It wouldn't do very well either.

    Bradley is just not a PPV fighter. It's lucky it did 900k the first time.

    Marquez won't fight Pacquaio again, especially if there is VADA testing, and God forbid, Marquez looks his age.

    The only fighter that's ready for Mayweather is Pacquaio.

    I don't want to see Mayweather vs anyone else, but Pacquaio. Khan is not an elite calibur fighter, Garcia needs a few more fights, and Floyd can't be asked to go to middleweight, because that's asking too much.

    There is only Pacquaio vs Floyd.

    And Pacquaio is already lined up for April 12th against Bradley with the undercard already in the works.

    This is terrible. I don't care if it was in Asia out mars. It's not so much of it being Manny but the choice of opponent and that shitty ass undercard. Floyd can fight con and do at least 1 mil cause they will have a fantastic undercard and they promote way better. Mark my word though. If Alexander beats porter, he and con will fight on the May undercard to see who fights Floyd in September.

    Only if Arum pays him out of his own pocket. They would lose money if Pac made 30 million based on the PPV numbers and gate.

    I hope this teaches Bob Arum and Company to put on better undercards. B/c that shitty undercard is the reason I did not buy it.
