Is it because.."The boxing world needs me" according to FMJr. Maybe, it's because people don't believe JMM stands a chance? In all honesty any way how that fight ends we all lose. Why? Because I'd like to see MP fight both JMM and FMJr. But, we all know that if JMM wins or vice versa that Pac will never fight the loser. My guess? Even if JMM did stand a chance, and was close to winning a decision it'll never happen because Don King (cough) I mean FMJr. will rigg the fight to make sure he gets his biggest payday fight w/ MP. ...

pbf vs jmm was announced before pac vs hatton. thats why its happening sooner than pac vs cotto.

its because fmj doesnt really have a big fan base at least thats what i think people watch his fights to see him lose not win hes only going to be marketable as long as hes undefeated and he knows this because once he loses no body will want to see him fight no more he needs to fight the welters for people to actually care about him and respect him

I don't care for either fight tbh. But Pac-Cotto will be a better fight.

Reasons I can think of:

People probably think JMM is out of his depth at 140+.
Both are primarily counter-punchers, so an exciting fight isn't guaranteed.
Floyd isn't as big a draw as people think. Some lost interest since he retired, meanwhile other fighters have gone on to do some great things.

Why people are more interested in Pacquiao-Cotto: Two explosive fighters will undoubtedly create fireworks.

For me, it is the fact that Floyd acts like he is the lifeblood of boxing when Manny is the sports truest star now and he never even brags on TV. People really are getting tired of Floyd's mouth I think and would watch a fight between him and Mosley or him and Cotto as opposed to a fight with him and a guy 2 weight classes above the point where he has never fought even once...that is not a big turn on to some people...same deal with Pavlik Hopkins (low PPV numbers)

I personally think Floyd is kinda scared of WW's where Manny does not seem to be. Floyd appears to run a lot in his fights (which is his right to fight that way) where Pac attacks with aggression the entire fight. Finally, the Cotto vs. Pac fight appears to me, to be more competitive than the PBF vs. JMM fight due to age and weight gain factors.

Just my opinion though

It's simple.. Pacquiao and Cotto have much more fans and star power than Mayweathe Jr and Marquez..

I think pbf has lost his mainstream appeal due to inactivity. pac filled up that void.

**el malo** · 07-08-2009, 12:46 AM

If it was floyd vs mosley i think there would be more interest.

Casual boxing fans won't watch 2 boring fighters inside the ring...
