    So what are Pac's options if not Shane, Cotto, and Floyd?

    So let's say Shane and Cotto refuse to come down in weight and the fight doesn't happen because of that. And Team Pacquiao don't want Floyd.
    And Floyd beats JMM.

    What are Pac's options?

    Will he go with Ortiz, Kahn, Bradley, try to get Hopkins to come down to 144....?

    No one has ever answer this question for me. If he wants to make the money he has made in his last two fights his options are pretty slim. If he just wants to fight for 5 millionish he can probably get away with fighting lesser known guys.

        Pac will be looking for superfights and superfights will only be against those mentioned (Cotto, Mosley or Mayweather).

        If they are unavailable because of certain reasons he'll have to look for the fighters below. Perhaps a Valero fight could be a succes at the box-office? Or maybe Guzman or even JMM if he doesn't lose too bad against Floyd.

          he is a TR fighter so they may shy away from GBP figthers considering they didn't offer David Diaz to Juan because they didn't want to help GBP get Juan back on track. My guess is from a list of

          Valero
          Bradley
          Campbell
          Alvarado

          with Valero being the favorite and Nate being a darkhorse option

            I thought that Nate was going to sign with GBP, I heard a rumor about that but not much since. I would also say it would be more of a problem to make fights with Haymon fighters, but I do not know who all he manages (except for Floyd, Forrest, Williams and I think Andrade.)

              he wont lose any credibility if these fights wont happen, he's not really a full WW anyway. so a 3rd jmm fight or w/ valero or any of the top JWW would be good, not great, but still credible.

                ask Terry aka One Punch what Nate's status is.

                and nah the cold war between TR and GBP still happens from time to time especially when it comes to Manny considering the history behind the two promoters and what happened

                  do PAC really need an interim fight??

                  if he could not fight cotto or mosley, imho he should just wait for the winner of PBF/JMM...
