"Floyd talks about come see my $28,000,000 check and all that but Floyd doesn't sell, Floyd has to plug another great fighter to sell. You can't just throw Floyd Mayweather on a card and people are going to flock to see him. You need two great fighters. Not saying Marquez isn't a great fighter but it isn't a fight that people wanna see right now, people wanna see the Pacquiao fight" - Dana White
"Floyd Mayweather is pound for pound the best fighter in the world but he is not a superstar. Manny Pacquiao could possibly be the pound for pound best and he is a superstar because people actually wanna see this guy fight." - Dana White
Somewhere in there he also mentions about how when you have two great fighters in there prime and an opportunity to make a mega fight that you should just make it because weird and crazy things can happen to thwart the fight from happening down the line. That's the only part of what he was saying that I don't agree with. I wouldn't come back and take on Pacquiao first either.
