    They both will suffer by not fighting each other. Bunch of egotistical prima donas if you ask me. Just shut up and fight!

    Neither or maybe Pac.

    Not Floyd, in the least. Floyds demands are easily met if Pacquiao is clean. Leaving that much $$ on the table and citing superstition is either an admission of guilt or an admission of massive ignorance. Either way, it looks bad on Pacquiao's part.

    If the fight doesn't happen, Pacquiao's stay at 147 will be as legit as his stays at 130 and 135...It will be seen as "he just tested the waters, but didn't fight the best the division had to offer"

    Floyd just dominated the best WW title holder, so he's got solid claims at 130, 135, and 147 (kinda meh at 140, IMO)

    both fighters have very solid career and resume, and i don't think either fighters legacy will suffer if they don't get to fight each other.both are already at the stages of their careers where they have already established themselves as the bests of this era, fighting each other and getting a W will just be a very nice bonus. the one who needs this fight to be made is "boxing" itself. it takes a very long time in this business to have two fighters of this caliber, both still at their absolute primes, both being considered as big ppv-draw.
