Mayweather is the truth in terms of talent and I think he beats everyone they put in front of him, problem is I'm not so sure he even thinks so. Those numbers that he did with Mosley don't tell the whole story, people paid to see him challenged for the first time, which was the public/media perception going in, so he had that on his side in terms of selling the fight. Mosley can't sell water to a well, we all know that, but he is well liked and respected enough that people saw him as a challenge and bought the fight for that reason, Mosley had name recognition. Now partner up Mayweather with a guy no one outside of the general boxing public knows and he won't do those numbers again.Comment

See bruh this is where I somewhat disagree. There's other fights on the table that would pay just as much (just as much as a 50/50 split with Pac), and be looked at as just as big or bigger risk than Pac for Mayweather. I think what some people are forgetting is that Mayweather will probably make $40M+ by fighting Williams or Martinez just like with Mosley because the PPV sales will probably be around the same as with Mosley and Mayweather will likely be able to demanda big enough purse split with either to make than he would fighting Pac at 50/50. So since he's the bigger draw, it really makes no sense for him to settle for 50/50 when he could make more money with others getting a fairer deal. Pac likely would also have to turn to Williams or Martinez for a payday of that magnitude. Problem is, Pac isn't naturally as big as Mayweather so fighting Willaims and Martinez probably isn't something Arum and Roach will want Pac doing. So basically, Pac needs Mayweather at this point more than Mayweather needs Pac. Pacquaio fighting Margarito might not be a bad thing. Because personally, I think Pacquaio-Margarito would do a million PPV buys easily. Then, Pac would be able to come back as more of an equal with Mayweather instead of the obvious B side of the promotion.
CONTINUE TO PUNK OUT?????Comment

I'm a online stream guy myself. But, if its a fight I really have an interest in, I'll order the PPV to prevent from missing anything if the streams cut out. Pacquaio has actually been my favorite fighter over the last several years and I'd ordered his events regardless to who he was fighting. But, I lost a lot of respect for him because of how he's conducted himself throughout this soap opera with Mayweather. Pacquaio-Clottey is the first Pacquaio fight i've missed in I don't know how long. Hell, I even ordered Pacquaio-Diaz. I wouldn't order Pacquaio-Margarito either, but would look for a new feed. I didn't do that much for Pacquaio-Clottey. I did Mayweather-Mosley. Money would very likely have to fight Williams or Martinez for me to order his next event.Comment
