    Nobody will be able to afford the tickets.

    The promotional outfit that staged Pac-LArios almost lost money on that fight.

    People love to wacth Manny fight live, but the tickets were too damn expensive for average Juans to buy.

    Pac-PBF tickets will definitely cost a whole lot more than the Pac-Larios tickets.

    Roach is smart, he knows Hatton is the bigger money fight and wants way more than he does Floyd.

    Let me put it simple Hatton vs Pacman summer 2009, If Pacman wins then gets to fight PBF in Late 2009 in a SUPER FIGHT. PBF can have a tune up fight if he feels ring rusty in the Summer.

    Hatton will offer more money and an easy fight.

    What more could he want.

    Pacman-Hatton will be amazing.

    There will be more fireworks than the 4th of July.

    Hatton vs Pacman in the UK makes sense, 100,000 on gate and a million box office buys in the uk alone, and remember, pound is stronger than the dollar, holla!!!

    Pac has no shot because why? Because he destoryed DLH in way more devastating fashion than Floyd did? Because Pac has no hand speed to match Floyd? Give a reason, and best examples to backup any point is previous fights with similar fighters if not head to head.

    Pac has not faced anyone like Floyd, and I agree Floyd should be the favorite in this match up. But I never seen Floyd more perplexed than the early rounds with Zab Judah. Judah with his blazing speed and southpaw stance, in the early rounds was able to beat Floyd to the punch, escape his attacks, and basically beat him on the score cards. And I guess you can say Floyd figured out his style later but even Floyd said in the post fight (if I remember correctly) interview that it was about Zab being a front runner rather than him figuring out Zab's style. He stated Zab always was a front runner hence he need it to take him to the deeper rounds and drown him.

    So with Pac you have another southpaw with blazing speed and pop in his punches. However Pac is not a front runner, he actually gets better as the fight goes on. I dont think he has no chance with Floyd, I say he has a decent shot.

    Pac went life and death with Marquez twice. Floyd is superior to Marquez in every area. Both are counter punches. Logic would dictate that Floyd would win.

    Why dont you talk about Pac's struggle with counter punchers, rather then Floyds struggles with Southpaws? Seeing as how Floyd beat both Judah and Corley by wide decisions, while Pac was only able to draw with Marquez and win a controversial decision the second time?

    PBF knows he has to make his intentions known if he intends to fight Pac. A Hatton fight would jeopardise this if Pac lost.
