    I didn't make the match up but I am not stupid to ignore why the match is being made. If you don't agree, study Kahn career from this point on and watch it take the same road. Arum is going to lose his cash cow to the increase popularity to his new cash cow. I watch Boxing long enough to know that.

    If I understand the post the points are (My opinions will be in the perentices)
    1. Mayweather has fought better oppoents in their last five bouts. (I agree.)
    2. Pacquiao is deserving of being the #1 Pound for Pound. Mayweather retired and Pacquiao has done nothing to lose it. (I disagree. Dispite being retired Mayweather was not gone that long. Also P4P is a very fickle title in my opinion.)
    3. Mayweather is the better boxer and should beat Pacquiao. (I agree.)
    4. Mayweather is the bigger draw. (I agree. I lot of people love Pacquiao. A lot of people love or hate Mayweather.)
    5. From a $ prespective the fight makes sense for Pacquiao but from a W/L prespective it dose not make sense for Pacquiao. See point 3. (I agree. See points 3 and 4.)
    I think that is the point of the original post.

    That was a mistake on my part, but it doesn't change to facts. The interesting thing is I am stating my opinion and you guys only throw insults. Make a worth while point. Floyd fighting Manny is more consistent with the way Floyd has managed. This has proved to be a low risk high payday. Manny fighting Floyd is not the way Manny has managed his career of late. Take that to the bank. I will be surprise if this fight happens. If floyd would have lost to Mosley, you can bet pac and Floyd would have already scheduled a fight.

    Floyd is the cash cow, no matter how much boxing fans claim Manny is better. So if Manny wants to get paid the biggest pay day of his life he's gonna have to fight Floyd.

    Manny's win over Cotto is better then any of Floyd's last 5 wins.

    As we see the Money is really not a issue to Floyd. If so Floyd would be marching to the tune that Pacs playing and not the other way around.

    Cant say i agree in the slightest. Here are some reasons of mine why the fight should be made.

    - Its the best available opponent for Pac to fight.
    - Its against the p4p #2 in the world (and in some peoples eyes, #1)
    - He could become the first person to ever beat Mayweather officially
    - Its a black eye on him and the sport if the fight doesnt get made, and believe me, mainstream media WILL take notice if this fight falls through, and would make boxing look like a joke
    - Because its the fight fight fans want to see the most just about... its a universally desired fight. You could walk into almost any boxing gym and ask what fight you want to see the most, and most would say Pac vs Mayweather Jr.


    Seriously, we could go all day on the reasons Pac should fight him, and why this fight should happen. I really think your off the mark in your opinion but to each their own i guess.

    Pac can retire right now without making it and he won't get much blame for it, all the blame and heat falls on Mayweather because he's the one that needs it, not Pacquiao. Yet sadly it looks so far to me that Pacquiao is the one constantly trying to make it like he tried for the March date.

    You know what, you're abso****inglutely right!

    Correcta****ingmundo!

    Manny Pacquiao is the Fighter of the Decade :D
    He don't ****in need to fight a two-bit marketing-hype of an excuse for a boxer to cement an already great career. :lol: :rofl

    Floyd Jr ain't nothin. He is going to remember that he never won the fighter of the decade award when all is said and done. :rofl

    Life's a *****, ain't it Floyd? :lol:
