    We'll agree to disagree.

    I could care less if Mayweather faces Nate Campbell. It's better then waiting for May 1st.
    No it's not...

    It really isn't.

    Most Floyd fans wouldn't mind waiting until May as long as Floyd was fighting Mosley. That's a fight everyone wants to see.

    Fighting Campbell is just plain embarrassing to Floyd's fans and resume.

      The reason why Pac probably didn't wait for Mosley/Berto winner is because the likelihood of Pac fighting either one over another GBP fighter (Floyd) is slim.

      He'd be stuck in a tough spot if he waited for Mosley only to have Floyd to get the fight. Arum probably thought it was too risky to wait and made the Clottey fight.

      That's my take.
      valid point. I just disagree on Clottey being top 5 at ww

He will throw 5 punches and 2 headbutts per round, and maybe trip and fall a few times as well. This fight is junk and the only thing people can say is that "clottey is a true WW". well so what? so is Baldomir. Personally as a fan i would rather see pac-judah
        The point of Pac-Clottey is to give the boxing fans the elast he can do for the disappointment that they (Mayweather) both created not a stay-busy fight.

        And besides, why would PBF wants to stay busy? If there is no one available at this time, why cant he wait for May?

          Staying busy is better then not. As long as it isn't PPV, I could care less. I've expressed in the past that Mayweather needs to stay busy. He's in that point in time where overall he's most likely on the decline.

            again, not true. Clottey beat Zab Judah, he was beating Antonio Margarito EASILY IMO, until he broke his hand, and still Margarito looked awful against him, and he looked very good vs. Cotto when they fought. You're making Clottey out to be some middle of the road journeyman, when he deserves every bit of his top 5 ranking at welterweight, while Nate's biggest win in a while was to Juan Diaz, and that fight was close at 135, nevermind he'll be fightin at 147.

            You're just diggin yourself deeper. Floyd fighting Zab Judah a second time would be a better fight than fighting Nate.

            Nate should go back to 135 where he is still viable, nothing against him but 147? come on, everyone and their mother knows fighting there, vs. a guy like Floyd and charging fans on tv and the gate is nothing short of robbery.

              I would have been disapointed in Floyd fighting Malignaggi, but atleast its understandable for a march 13th date to stay busy and tunup for a mosley/berto fight in the summer.

              Nate Campbell in april? Whos gonna buy that? And what is the point?
              imho worst fight Floyd could take ATM is with Paulie, fight with Nate is a lesser evil I like it better than with Paulie but that is not saying much...

              april? buy? point? all good questions bro!!


              at this time their is no point at all fighting a smaller man PBF should be fighting welters or bigger...

              if PBF is fighting april that only tells me one thing floyd has no intention fighting winner of Mosley/Berto and will wait for the second batch of PAC-PBF negotiation...

                We can agree to disagree, but if Floyd doesn't PPV his next fight it really says something about where he's at in his career.

                It would be blasphemy to Floyd for him not to have his fights on PPV.

                If it makes money it makes sense right?

                This makes no sense for Floyd, but to each his own.

                  Nate can never go back to 135. He is a solid 140 pounder now, and will likely move up one more time to 147 before its over.

                    what's the point of all this arguing.
                    why dont we all cool off and just wait till they announce who my man floyd going to whoop.
                    like what they did during the suspense catchweight fight with jmm, i will still buy ppv even if they will just announce the fighter on fightnight.
                    my boy floyd will still be undefeated.

                      then expect this portion of his career to be extremely dissapointing.
