Remember when Floyd was so eager to prove the critics wrong in the Gatti fight?

    Those were excellent wins. But please, take into consideration the fighters at the time. BETTER at higher weights? :patsch Casa is about one loss from being a gatekeeper, if he already isn't. And he DID lose to Santa Cruz. YEs, excellent wins, but don't feed me no bull**** about being BETTER at higher weights.

    PBF is targeting Pac. It makes sense that he fights JMM. Pac has fought two fighters that PBF beat in Hatton and Oscar they're on a collision course.

    Don't be coy, you know what I'm talking about.

    It's fine If you want to stick to Floyd's win on the record books but there was a reason Floyd wanted the immediate rematch, and it was not cause he and everyone else thought he had won the first fight:deal

    None of those guys are top draws or P4P #1 are they? PBF is about making money and Pac is the one he will make the most fighting.

    No, it makes CENTS.....that's it. You can sugar coat it all you want, just as the other Floyd fanboys are doing. It's an interesting fights, I won't deny that, but it's a WW vs. a LW.

    But I wonder if Pac vs. Mayweather can even be made. Remember, this is an ARUM fighter. Thought Floyd wouldn't work with him. Not to mention, Arum has already mentioned Cotto. And what about money? If Floyd demands the lions share, they could justifiably tell him to **** off.

    He's always been like that _ why do you think he came back (other than the money) because Manny is getting more love as p4p king that he was.

    I agree and like I said in another thread the negoiations will be a *****. With that said I don't think Pac-Cotto will do half the numbers of Pac-PBF he stands to make much more money by fighting PBF it might eevn come close to breaking the PBF-Oscar fight in buys. At the end of the day they both need each other to settle it and IMO without each other their legacies will be incomplete.

    The fans will demand a fight between Pac and Mayweather ... the build up has already begun ...

    Pac vs Cotto wouldn't do good numbers _ the 24/7 would suck because both guys have zero personality and they don't know what to do when it comes to selling the fight.

    I think Pac vs. PBF would do better #'s, but I doubt it would double Pac vs. Cotto, because that is a major fight itself. What it comes down to is the purse split. And Floyd's ego is what may **** that up. Hope it can be made though.

    Nah Floyd wasn't retired yet so I think it was PBF at #1 Pac at #2 and JMM at # 4 behind Calzaghe.
