This is all i have to say about Mayweather vs. Pacquiao

Mayweather will come out of retirement. He is by no means old. Also think of who we are talking about, he loves attention. Casual fans are going to forget about him fast after what Manny was able to do to Oscar. I see him facing the winner of Pacman/Hatton.

PBF must be droolin over a Pac fight right now.

But everyone knows that Pacman will eat Hatton for breakfast.

I'm not going to pretend like I know why Mayweather retired. But I'm going to speculate based on his public comments that it was because there wasn't a fight where he felt like he'd get enough credit in a big enough event for him to feel like it was worth the effort necessary to get ready. A fight with Pacquiao would be a huge event and right now at least I think most people might even favor Pacquiao. It's the perfect time for Mayweather to prove everyone wrong and I think he would.

I would just **** if Manny were to turn his nose up @ Floyd and say that Floyd isn't enough of a draw and that Floyd needs to beat Mosely, Cotto, etc...

Won't happen, though. What's more likely is that Pac will beat Hatton and then pursue a match with Floyd. Floyd will refuse and continue to call himself GOAT and other such foolishness.

I just hope that Pacquiao has the right people around him...business wise.

i think he has Filipino business men to look out for his best interests.
Bob Arnum and Freddie Roach look out for him. I just don't want to see Pacquiao get taken advantage of.

If it's anything Mayweather needs to fight Cotto first or Margarito. Actually he's been promising Margarito a fight for years now.

Let Mayweather stay in retirement. He already had his shot. I know he watched the fight last night and the wheels started turning.

But i say, let Mayweather stay in retirement. Pacquiao is no joke. I'm pretty sure Pacquiao is down to fight anyone, anytime, anywhere.

Mayweather retired for a reason. Whatever the reason may be no one knows...

But if Mayweather fought Pacquiao....he'll put Mayweather in retirement for the 3rd or 4th time.

floyd is retired.. he aint coming back... you all hate him so much I dunno why ya'll want him to come back to fight pac

First of all, a big cong**** to Manny. He deserved the victory and all the glory it brings him and his family.

But, let me just say we might be getting ahead of ourselves if by this win over Oscar, we believe Manny can take on and beat Mayweather.

It would definitely be a mega event if the two meet, and it won't be an easy night for either fighter, but I wouldn't just assume by his beating this Oscar, that he'll necessarily beat Mayweather.

Perhaps after he takes on and beats Hatton, should there be talks about a Pacquiao vs Mayweather clash.

All in all, Manny did what he was supposed to do against Oscar and looked great doing it.

He gained many more fans and a larger following to his credit. No doubt.
