They're all in it together, Floyd takes a fight in Feb, Pac fights Marquez in May (big money Cinco De Mayo), then Arum cashes out Pac in November for a Pac/Mayweather fight.
one question regarding this is-ellerbe said that they had reserved the mgm for may 5th and were hinting at making the pac/may fight on that date.then after saturday nights controversy arum says he wants pac/jmm 4 on may 5th (cinco de mayo).well if they want to do that then floyd already has the date and venue and they wont both fight on the same day.whether floyd fights guerrero,morales,berto,ortiz,martinez,alexander,williams they would all take the fight given the chance.what im saying is-i dont see why floyd would have the date and mgm provisionally booked and then give that up to arum and manny for them to fight jmm again.
He said he wants to get back as soon as possible, but it could end up being May. I take it as it depends on whether or not he can make the fight. Let's not act like Pacquiao didn't fight in March in 2010 after fighting Cotto the Novemeber before that. Same thing, essentially.
...
Did you not hear Bob Arum say he wants Manny to fight Marquez again on May 5th? Clearly, they do not want the Floyd fight.
Didn't Floyd say he wanted Pacquiao on May 5th.
What changed his mind in the last two days.
Marquez can go on the back burner if Mayweather steps up to the plate.
Shame if he decides to duck again.
froid is really ducking pacquiao. what happened to may 5?
He knew pac can fight at that date but he moves forward to avoid pac. :rofl:
fukn gay :bottle:
are u gay didnt arum say pacman is gonna be busy in may running for gov! and then he says oh we gna have pacman vs marquez 4 so whos ducking who! dip****
Canelo Alvarez?
But not only do I think Golden Boy would have to be stupid to sacrifice their young cash cow, it's also the same problem I see with a Martinez fight; fight would have to be at 154.
Ortiz/Berto seem to be ready to do it again, or so it seems......
Khan? Huge fight in England?
Floyd will fight Chavez Jr. for the WBC Middleweight belt at a 155-156 catchweight. I wouldn't mind seeing Floyd fight the Cotto/Margarito winner, but I don't think Floyd wants to take the kind of punishment that either of them would dish out. Neither Floyd nor Pac will EVER fight Sergio at ANY weight.
I highly doubt Chavez can go any lower than 160...Floyd is going to fight either a welterweight or somebody coming up from 140
Remember this.........

I'd love this to be true but comments from Floyd Snr not too long back lead me to believe that it won't happen.
When discussing the offer of 100m for Floyd to fight Pac, Floyd Snr spoke of Floyd Jr's tax concerns that earnings exceeding 100m is substantially different to pre 100m.
If Floyd fights 3 times next year, his earnings will exceed 100m easily and he'd be taxed to the limit of the law.
Unfortunately, Floyd fighting 3 times a year is not happening due to this.
once you're over a certain amount, (like 400k) you fall into the highest tax bracket and it makes no difference what you earn.
I really think it would be Sergio Martinez.
I think Floyd, like Ray Leonard who watched Hagler a lot and realized he will take him, has watched Sergio and Manny and KNOWS he can beat them.
If Floyd is fighting in February and May, that'd be a dream come true, but I doubt it. Schaefer said he was told by Floyd that he wants to fight multiple times a year, more than once or twice, maybe he was being for real. If he fought in FEB, JUL, DEC, that'd be great. Sergio, Manny, Amir. Though, this is boxing, I doubt it happens like that.

It better not be Ortiz.
I can't see who it could be. It won't be Khan, he's fighting in the middle of December. No way is he going to fight Mayweather 2 months later.
The only fight I could see happening is Martinez but again I find that doubtful.
Otherwise, Haymon might cash out on Berto. That's what I'd do if I was Haymon.
Here's my prediction for actually what is going to happen this year in boxing with people relevant to May-Pac.
January: Ortiz-Berto II, Alexander-Malignaggi
February: Mayweather-Martinez
April: Bradley-Morales (The WBC already said Bradley would get the first crack at Erik, and if Pac-Bradley doesn't happen, that will).
May: Pacquiao-Marquez IV
Bet on it.
Arum, Pac, Ariza, Roach, all said they want to fight Marquez again, and we all know that Manny said Arum calls the shots.
Mayweather vs Martinez? Heh?? Ok so around what weight will this fight be at?? Because we all know that Mayweather could NEVER get away with Pacquiao can get away with.
If Mayweather says that he wants Martinez at 150 then people will say you drained him, if Pacquiao fought Martinez at 150 then he would get props for it.
So Mayweather must be fighting Martinez at 160+?
