Mayweather wishes Pacquiao the best and hopes he recovers from his knockout loss He says it was good that Pacquiao came on the boxingscene piggybacked off Mayweather's name and got endorsements.From the hype of fighting.
uhh... We'll see what PPV numbers Mr Mayweather gets now Pacquiao fight is gone.
Isn't Pacquiao the one who fights toe to toe in exciting fights while Floyd boxes, moves, runs?
Pacquiao always been the bigger attraction
This is true as is the fact that Floyd piggybacked off Mannys name too they used the lined that the "big one" was always gunna come after the fight which they were preparing for at any stage over the last 3 years too sell more tickets and get more ppv buys
I guess his name and endorsements had nothing to with beating Morales x2, Barrera x2, Marquez, Margarito, Clottey, Mosley and stopping De La Hoya, Hatton, Cotto.
It was all because he wanted to fight Floyd...
Well, there goes Floyd's biggest payday lol. He won't make that in 2 fights with either Guerrero or Alvarez. I just don't see why he didn't just fight Pacquiao from the beginning. I favored him to win. Such as waste of time. As it stands now, if Floyd beats either Guerrero (specifically) and Canelo you're mostly gonna get:

Though I think a win over Canelo would be impressive for the most part.
Don't think it was a case of piggybacking off Floyd but the did market him as the anti-Floyd
It's the reason they chose Oscar and Hatton and then Mosley.They were trying to do better against opposition Floyd had already faced
It was more Arum and Roach than Pacquiao tho
Margarito, Cotto, and Pacquiao, three fighters that had something in common other than being Top Rank fighters. They were all at one point promoted by Bob Arum as "The man who Floyd Mayweather Jr fears", and all three of them eventually got KTFO. Pacquiao being the most successful of the three, but possibly suffered the worst-looking stoppage of the three.
