The fight with Manny is bigger IMO than it was before the Marquez fight because I think boxing needed to be reminded about Mayweather. It's not a dig on him to say that boxing went on without Mayweather being active.
I still think and won't be convinced otherwise until Mayweather fights a credible 147 pounder that Mayweather needs a defining fight at 147. I don't like to say that a fighter "owes" his public something but in this case, Mayweather definitely owes the public that much.
