    floyd needs this fight more than pac does.

    pac can just go fight hatton and marquez again. lots of money in those fights.

    pac already has a great resume. he doesn't need a floyd win for legacy.
    Sounds like excuses to me.

    All the Pac fans were just saying a third match with Marquez was not an option because it "makes no money" and that Pac already beat him and it proves nothing.

    Now all of a sudden they want a third match to save Pac from Floyd.

      pac is a true champ and fights the best. floyd is the best.
      you're thinking the u.s. only.

      pac-hatton would be more money worldwide.

        The thing is right now, Arum has a full deck of cards. He does not need Floyd any more. If Floyd wants Manny, Arum dictates everything.

        I agree with Tua. If you want Manny, go through the winner of marg/Cotto first.

          Or Leonard Ellerbe could tell Pacquiao "You want Floyd? Go fight Marquez again"

            and all of a sudden i speak for all pac fans?

            i speak for myself , bro. i don't speak for pac fans.

            i don't care if pac fights floyd or not.

            i'm not a fan of only undefeated fighters. it doesn't bother me if he losses to floyd or not. it wouldn't change anything for me as a fan.

            i just kinda like the idea of arum saying that to floyd. it'd be funny.

              Mayweather wouldn't fight in England. He did enough whinging about the referee pre-fight the last time to last a lifetime. Mayweather knew he needed the ref onside, thats why he made such an issue of it.

                the marquez 3rd fight is a given pretty much.

                they said pac will fight 2-3 more fights.

                that 2-3 is pretty much hatton and marquez and maybe floyd.

                    It is not excuses. Everyone in here no more than a few months ago was saying that Floyd will not fight Margarito or Cotto because he will not do business with Arum. Now suddenly Floyd is speculated to want a piece of Manny, so why would Arum play friendly?

                    Why should Arum give Floyd his own way?

                      You guys are acting like Pac is more important then Mayweather.

                      Floyd beats Oscar, no one says anything about Manny, Manny beats Oscar all of a sudden Floyd comes up? You guys talk about us Floyd fans, you haters are just dying for him to come back. If the fight happens it happens but Floyd is retired and Manny needs to think about Hatton.

                      One thing I dont get. You guys are quick to go for a Floyd/Manny fight and even some say Manny wins, which hey, your entitled to your opinion. But yet Floyd is pu$$y for not fight Tony but Manny is WAY to small for Tony??
