    ...which means that if he loses, he'll look like a complete wuss. I can live with that.

        Mayweather leftovers. Floyd's words, not mine.

            Fight hasn't happened yet, so lets wait for figures then, even though there is chance of the sales not being great, but rumors are rumors... meaning they might not be true. Also, the PPV might not be huge due to the movie theatre deal.

            The racism **** is pissing me off, I will agree with you there... as a Floyd fan I can admit that.

            I am sure it was Mayweather Sr. that said he thought Pacquiao might be taking steroids, not Mayweather Jr. unless I missed something?

                Hatton win is legit IMO, DLH not so much cause he didn't seem too comfortable at the weight.

                Basically, Floyd beat the better version of DLH, Pacquiao beat the better version of Hatton... even if people think Hatton wasn't the same after Floyd, he was still really confident and at a weight which he dominated for years and was undefeated at.

                If Floyd beats JMM more convincingly than Pacquiao, I think obviously Pacquiao beat the better version to it... so due to the fact Pacquiao beat both DLH and Hatton so convincingly... it kinda evens it out IMO.

                  all that doesn't matter anyway IF, and it's a big IF, Manny Pacquiao were to beat Miguel Cotto. He would have the upper hand in the negotiations.

                    It would NEVER happen since Mayweather is afraid to risk it and exchange.
                    He would've fought the same kind of fight he did, it would've been a decision.

He will then most likely beat Marquez convincingly and hold all the cards in negotiations because he will say that he did what Pacquiao couldn't do. Is that genius or what?

                      Clever boy Floyd.
                      hes an idiot if he look at things that way. team pac aint ******
