Pac's Secret Opponent?

all interesting points, i figured when one fighter looked spent the fight would happen to get the final cash out

seems possible, Arum doesnt have to worry about Manny losing cause he will cash in a last time, if Manny wins he could have a rematch and maximize

 

rumours are circulating that Manuel Charr is willing to come down to 154 to face Pac 8th December

 

Nowhere near enough time to hype " the biggest fight of all time ". Not that it is anymore, that ship sailed long ago.

 

Manny wants nothing to do with that beast

 

this fight has been hype for 3 years i dont think you have to do much promotion to sell it

 

Maybe not but sell it they will do if it ever happens, which i doubt. I hope he does fight Mayweather in december but he wont.

 

It's not Floyd. (This is certain)
Arum needs to replace his cash cow before he kills the old one.

^IF Chavez wins on Sat, Then Arum feeds Manny to Mayweather.
(Only then tho... No other scenario)

 

I believe that there are talks with the Mayweather camp for this 12/8 date. I don't believe there is any chance in hell that Pacquiao goes to Mexico to fight Marquez nor do I believe that Pacquiao will cut his purse to give Marquez and Bradley the 8-10 million that they are looking for. The PPV numbers will be around a million for both fights, Arum isn't taking a cut off his pay, so that leaves Manny to be generous and shave 5 million off of his purse to make the fight happen. Why should be do this when he could make 10-15 million more than his usual to fight Money May? Not to mention the very serious possibility that he could lose to JMM and/or Bradley.

Mayweather is always quiet when fights are being negotiated and they usually come as a surprise when they are announced. There seems to be some artificial tension between him and 50 and I know TMT supposedly has a 11/17 fight locked in that they haven't announced yet. Could this be part of a much larger announcement?

Arum surely doesn't want any attention away from Saturday's big fight so that explains the secrecy, no matter who the opponent is.

Should be an interesting week ahead. :smoke

 

Floyd aint fighting dis year... not enought time for floyd to get in shape.

either way, Floyd whoops pac's arse.

 

floyd's always in good shape atsch

 

I have had a feeling that Mayweather and Pacquaio may be in 'secret' negotiations, it would make sense on many levels for the two to fight and the more open negotiations hardly worked out well. Maybe I'm putting 2 and 2 together to make 5 just because both are looking for opponents at the moment

 

I doubt mayweather will fight this year but I did hear back a few months someone high up said they got intill dec 2012 to get it on or forget about it I know it's rubbish as the revenue which would be made is huge even now but I say around may 2013 it will happen floyd loves boxing in may but it is very strange but I think it may happen I'm 30/70 on this 1
