    the world as a whole is calling for mayweather-pacquiao.


    not mosley-pacquiao.


    like i said, other than the floyd haters/mosley and pacquiao fans, everybody wants mayweather-pacquiao.



    that's the best fight for the sport.

    like i said, keep it real, and say you guys personally want pacquiao-mosley, b/c mosley will be easier to hit, but don't throw that "better for the sport," crap in there.

      mayweather-pacquiao is the fight EVERYONE wants to see, including the casuals, and those that don't follow the sport.....meaning no other boxing match would generate as much interest.

      fact is, i've heard noone, but the dummies on this site, calling for mosley-pacquiao instead of mayweather-pacquiao, so how is that "more beneficial" to the sport of boxing?
      When people say that, they're talking about action taking place inside the ring. It's the right way for a fan to think. I've always liked PBF but I'm sick of these little dinnermashers on this forum whining about his money and PPV buys. It's trite and it's incredibly gay. I just want the funnest fights possible. I'd love Pac-PBF, but I'd love Pac-Shane even more.

        That fight is pure HBO propaganda. They want it because they promote Mayweather and want to make a killing.

        If HBO had not pushed it so hard people wouldn't be so agitated about it.

        They're manipulating the boxing climate.

          If HBO put as much marketing muscle into a JMM/Pac 3 or a Pac/Mosley people would just as crazy about those as they are about this one.

          You are being dictated to by HBO. These are not your own thoughts, they do not belong to you.

            Just like he did with JMM?

            I had to wake myself up 3 times during that fight.

            I dunno about everyone else but if I had a choice, I ain't spending 60 bucks to see Floyd "counter Pac enough to win rounds."

            JMM countered Pac every single chance he got to try and knock Pac out and not just to win enough rds.

            I think whether you admit this or not, most ppl want to see Floyd knocked the fk out. That's why they want to see this fight.

              that's fine.


              but don't say it's better for the sport b/c there will be more action.

              you guys on here really underestimate the intelligence of the general public. anybody can get in the ring and throw tons of punches, and get hit in the process, but there are fans of the sport that respect skills too. if it was all about "action," and not about "technical skill," mayweather honestly wouldn't draw as much as he does.

              so if you're a fan of two fighters getting in there "slugging it out," then say YOU'D rather see pacquiao-mosley, but its ridiculous to state that fight is better for the sport, when everybody is clamoring for something else....

              just keep it real.

                your argument is ridiculous.


                we can agree that any fight that does a million or more ppv buys is a success, since MOST fights don't come close to that, right?


                so your argument, is that millions of ppl pay money to watch floyd fight, hoping he'll get KTFO? you actually thought JMM had a chance to KO floyd? a big enough chance to pay $50 for that fight?

                maybe YOU did....but i'd bet the vast majority of ppl who either ordered that fight on ppv, or went into a theater to watch it, did so b/c they respect the dude's skills.

                but that's my opinion.

                  now you are clearly overestimating the intelligence of the general public.
                  its not about skill at all. go to a bar when a fight is on and try to talk about the technical aspects about boxing.
                  violence = entertainment
                  violence = lowest common denominator
                  violence = mass appeal

                  mayweather doesnt sell becuz of his technical skill, he sells becuz of his mouth and persona.

                    i like pac vs floyd alot better too but we all know floyd is not an offensive fighter, infact he's boring....pac vs shane on the other hand are offensive beasts who throw combinations and dont run around the ring , it is clearly the more exciting fight.......excting fights are better for boxing!
