Why would Floyd want to fight March 13th ?

[M.I.C.]

Financially it doesn't make $ense for Mayweather. This guy has a huge ego and is not going to be outdone by Pacman. I think the sensible thing would be to fight in April or May when you don't have to compete against another big PPV event..

Also, if Floyd does fight the same night, is he gonna fight on HBO? Probably not b/c HBO doesn't have the $$$ to buy two high profile cards. Honestly, I don't see how it can happen. Give a me feasible scenario where both fighters fight on the 13th...

Floyd can fight on free HBO on March 13, get a guaranteed payment and that alone will destroy Pac's PPV #'s with Clottey. Most people will watch the free fight. If you know you got the Mosley/Berto winner later in the year, he doesn't have to concern himself with Pacquiao-Clottey does. Be honest with you, that would be the best way to crash Top Rank's party, simply fight a decent opponent on regular HBO. I know Pac fans would hate that, but its okay, you'll be alright. After all Pac can still make that big blockbuster PPV event with Yuri Foreman later on this year.

i think floyd does need to fight on march 13th just to stay sharp..but not on ppv..it should be a free fight on hbo against a reasonable opponent..then he should fight the berto mosley winner this summer for the wbc,wba belt leading up to a unification bout with manny this fall for the wbc,wba,wbo,ring belt and p4p#1 static

Not really cuz you can order the fight and Tivo the free HBO...

And, anyways will HBO go for Floyd on free TV over a Pac PPV?

Come on bro be a smart a business man... Think logically for once...

Kind of sad that all you have left in the boxing world is hating on other fighters now that you're idol has proven to be another overrated Euro bum like I was telling you for the past 2 years.

It's YOUR idol. Not YOU'RE idol.

And yeah. Ward's win is worthless.

Wait, wait, wait. Are meaning to tell me, that HBO would not carry the Pacqaio-Clottey PPV and instead show Floyd free? That's ridiculous (no flames), HBO is not going to forgoe the huge PPV revenue that Pac will generate...

Its not unusual for Top Rank to broadcast an independent PPV. I will tell you now that HBO is more loyal to GBP than it is to Top Rank. HBO may not even see Pac - Clottey as being profitable and they may pass on it anyway.

Have you not noticed the HBO suits wanted Mayweather-Pacquiao, not Pacquiao-Clottey. I predict right now, Pac-Clottey will be an independent PPV. HBOPPV isn't buying that fight.

I guess it's not a clear as I thought (as with everything in boxing); we'll have to stay tuned to see what happens. And now with the Berto pulling out of the Mosley fight, who knows what will happen next?

As a smart man, I'm telling you now that Pac Clottey will be an independent PPV and Floyd will get the HBO backing if he indeed chooses to fight on March 13.

it wont happen

Berto's pull out from the Mosley fight changes the dynamic entirely. The prospect of a Mosley-Mayweather fight trumps anything that Pacquaio can do right now IMO...
