Pacquiao-Martinez/Williams/Cotto Probably Cotto because of all those 3 opponents Cotto is probably the most popular.
I think pac/margarito draws the most ppv #'s. They both gave Cotto a beating and Margarito has a pretty good mexican following. I don't think a rematch with Cotto dosen't do as well as the first fight.
I hope he fights JMM again. They are made for each other and they can generate a lot of money, assuming JMM beats Diaz again. **** Margaresto.
Juan is almost, what? 37 now? Pac is more complete now and holding his weight well. I think this would be a disappointing retirement fight for Marquez.
Exactly my thoughts. Pac-Williams has the potential to sell more PPVs than a Pac-Cotto rematch or a Pac-Margarito, assuming Margarito gets a license. Casual fans who know Pac can easily be convinced to buy this fight vs. another fight with Cotto.
Paul Williams can have more chances of winning the Pacquiao sweepstakes if they will offer Pacquiao a guaranteed $25 million purse. PAC is reported to get $20M from a Floyd fight and Floyd is a much easier and less dangerous opponent for PAC compared to the giant always punching Williams.
Martinez is his biggest threat and would generate the most PPV buys just because Pac would be a big underdog. Even though Martinez is not as big a draw as some of the other guys in the list. Everyone would tune in cause it would be monumental if Pac beat Martinez coming off a dominant win over Pavlik..
considering that many thinks Pac vs. Cotto at 154 would generate the most PPV buys after Pac-PBF, you cannot fault Arum then for considering this fight as the second option instead of looking for fighters outside of Top Rank.
No.:nono There is nothing that indicates Pac can hang with Martinez. But Pac does defy odds, so I wouldn't count him completely out. I just think he would be fighting a guy who is superios to hus last few opponents in absolutely every way. atsch Now that I think about it... By the time all the Pac fans and casual bettors begin to place wagers on Manny, those odds could definitely even out.
