Pacquiao vs. Broner is an Audition for a Mayweather fight

Mayweather will fight Pacquiao in 2017, and then GGG in 2018 after Golovkin wrecks Canelo's **** late next year.

I have a feeling this pac vs broner fight is an audition for who mayweather fights next. Broner needed a bigger name to get his name out there to make the floyd fight juicy, what bigger name and bigger win than pacquiao? Broner will spend the hype on dissimg floyd saying things like you stunk up the joint ill show you how its done, etc. Pacquiao beating ab could solidify the rematch, i think this was a decision by Haymon and Arum. They thought this out and felt why not? It makes business sense for both. Mayweather is not going to fight Danny Garcia, because Floyd will never use Vada testing, WBC requires that every championship fight uses VaDa drug testing. i dont see floyd undergoing vada, he uses Usada. Only way that fight could happen is if garcia vacates, but then who is garcia without the belt? He doesnt have a big fanbase and hasnt done a ppv. Mayweather will have a tune up fight, with Tim Bradley, bradley has been on ppv and has history against pacquiao and marquez, he will beat Bradley easy and say he beat Bradley better than pacquiao. Thats just my theory if floyd is going to comeback that is a best case scenario for him. Fighting thurman, ggg, do not bring him the type of money he desires, plus they are high risk, with ggg being a high risk high reward its a huge step up and for the lineal title at middle, while thurman high risk very low reward since floyd already has multiple titles at welter. None of those fights are happening. Mayweather ain't fighting 51 times.

Roberto Duran on Adrien Broner:On Adrien Broner saying he would like to fight Floyd Mayweather: "I don't remember who Broner is, frankly... "The one Maidana beat? Oh that clown! No man, that guy no. That's not serious. He wants to fight who? No man, Mayweather was at his last fight in ...No, Mayweather schools him. The problem with that little fighter is that he thinks he's a macho man, a superman, but that guy can't take a punch. Mayweather beats him easy, with no problems."

I agree with this. However.. What sort of boggles the mind is... Why not fight from either Floyd or Pac's POV... They both know they're not gonna get hurt (no big physical risk) and even if they don't get ridiculous 100million paychecks, it's still huge, easy money for both guys... so why not? Is it really that they both have enough money and are content to be retired? True but I don't care to see it. It will go the same way as the first fight. I content with watching the current boxers trying to become as popular and good as May and Pac are.

You seem to have every detail worked out including a tuneup fight between Bradley and Mayweather. You have a wild imagination. The Broner vs Pac fight is just talk now but you have several fights past that already done deals leading to a showdown with retired Mayweather. All of these future fights you are predicting are possible. Only the Broner vs Pac fight is at all likely to happen. All the other fights you think will happen are extremely unlikely to happen. I guess there is no harm in trying to predict the future. Good luck with that.

Neither will happen. Not Broner vs Pac. Not May vs Pac 2 I agree with this. However.. What sort of boggles the mind is... Why not fight from either Floyd or Pac's POV...

Why on earth would Arum put together and promote a fight between Pac and Broner for the benefit of Mayweather. He and Mayweather hate each other and Mayweather would probably not fight if Arum made money off him. Mayweather let Arum make money off of his fight with Pacquiao but that fight was a dud. A rematch wouldn't be nearly as big. Pac vs Broner is just a fight to make everybody some money. Nothing more and nothing less. I doubt it has anything to do with Mayweather.

Floyd can still use VADA as long as he announces the fight one month before the fight, that's when he starts the testing. But I doubt VADA would gift him a TUE for an unnecessary IV or stuff like that.

Like I've mentioned in another forgettable thread boxing today is 80% fantasy. Fans enjoy discussing fantasy fights more than real fights. Someone should start documenting fantasy fights that were discussed at length, but never became reality. There's probably hundreds of them.

Neither will happen. Not Broner vs Pac. Not May vs Pac 2 you probably right, both guys are retired. But hypothetically it makes sense if they were to come back.

Floyd is almost 40 and retired. But you have him taking a tune up fight to face the winner of another imaginary tune up fight. May VS Pac II 2024. Close thread.

Interesting with the Bradley-Money matchup. I think Bradley causes problems for every welter apart from Mayweather.

Neither will happen. Not Broner vs Pac. Not May vs Pac 2
