Why did Floyd not rematch Pac(we know why not Canelo rematch,but Pacs a tiny ww?)

[Robbie Barrett]

If Floyd faced Pac now it would make him more than the 1st fight considering how much moneys now floating around imo.

................... Nowhere near the interest in Pacquiao as there was. Not even doing half the numbers. He couldn't even crack 500k with Thurman or 400k with Broner. People have moved on from Manny Pacquiao.

[STREET CLEANER]

The fights were easily won by Floyd and were not entertaining. Floyd went to fight McGregor and got the second biggest boxing PPV event. Don't know the reasoning of the OP.

IIRC the consensus among fans was that it was nowhere near as good as what we had waited for (watched it during the lockdown and it was a better fight than I remember, so we were likely all let down by the hype/wait) but I don't remember anyone (other than the deluded Pac fans who like to post slow motion video) who wanted to see another one.

Floyd/Oscar is a rematch that should have happened. I could give a **** about Floyd/Manny II or Floyd/Canelo II

Yeah pretty much this. There was never much demand for a rematch other than from the Pacquiao fans that still can't accept the loss.

[joseph5620]

well I have several issues with believing that.
1st off: he faced Berto after Pac(whom nobody would've expected to win even a few rds,then he faced a 0-0 novice who can barely punch with 8 oz gloves on,let alone have the stamina to go 12,whom gets battered in his own sport. ) Then fast forward to today Pac is 2 yrs younger than him,& a rematch would make him an instant billionaire.

So I don't believe Floyd didn't rematch someone because he is expected to win badly by many,he faced several opponents that say otherwise (brought minimal money reward & no prestige)(Floyds nicknamed money because hes ALWAYS made clear thats all he cares about)

Smith wasn't days past 23 & forced to weigh less than capable of,Canelo rematch would've broken records(& Canelo would've been expected to do far better. Which had Floyd won again would've been argument-proof hes the goat(atm his Canelo win has an asterisk in manys eyes )(I'm not saying immediate rematch for Canelo either(& Canelo I think was too big & risky just 1-2 yrs after their fight so that's more justified not to rematch him imo),

but Pac had a shoulder excuse & had looked awful prior to Floyd fight,& it was an all around terrible fight Because Pac didn't look good(if he fought like he did v Thurman it would've been a great fight)(I'm inclined to believe shoulder excuse,& that Pac at the time just wanted to cashout which is why it got made & he submitted to testing,because after he got kod by roidquez he realized how ****** he'd been & just needed money)

Pac rematch would've guaranteed Floyd more money than all the youtubers combined(he can still rematch him, they're only 2 yrs apart,& Pac beating Thurman would mean it breaks 1st fights records)

If Floyd faced Pac now it would make him more than the 1st fight considering how much moneys now floating around imo.

If Floyds willing to fight a cw who heavily outweighs him,he should be willing to fight a guy 2 yrs younger whom is a tiny ww,& whom would further cement his legacy(even if he lost he'd have an excuse,& even haters would have to acknowledge his greatness for taking rematch.

Revisionist history and a lie.


Pacquiao comfortably beat Bradley, Algeri, and Brandon Rios before Floyd. When exactly did he look "awful"in those fights? You don't have to pretend you're trying to analyze the topic when it's obvious that you have an agenda. Nothing more than that.

Because Floyd gave manny a boxing lesson

manny mustered only 2 to 3 rounds for all his hype

[GrandpaBernard]

Because manny couldn’t do what Maidana did

[GrandpaBernard]

Floyd footwork is too much for manny who lacks at cutting off the ring

[deathofaclown]

Why would he? It wasn’t that close. It was a 9-3 kind of fight.

It was a very routine uneventful Mayweather win and nobody was really crying out to see it again. The same would’ve happened every time.

[ShaneMosleySr]

Because everyone on planet earth is ******. They have seen the tape of Mayweather beating Pacquiao while also thinking guys like Conor McGregor and Logan Paul have a chance to beat Mayweather.

Its why Pacquiao-McGregor was on the verge of happening. There’s millions of idiots out there who think McGregor could outbox Pacquiao.

Don't ask me why.

F@ck floyd! Pac is still here Hunting the undefeated Welterweights! He's done with one. 2 more to Go! Crawford seems to copy Floyds Ducking strategy. Spence better show some balls and agree to a Fight. Pacquiao is the Greatest Fighter of all Time. I've been saying that since 2008.
