    Although Martinez doesn't speak English or have the name recognition among the casual fans, that is a marketable fight to several demographic groups.
    I don't know, I think he'd need to showcase himself more. But if it can do those kind of numbers, that's great!

        lol. Great point

        Any Mayweather fight does huge numbers as of right now. But I think this fight would do alot better than people expect, Especially if Martinez beat Williams or Pavlik in a rematch and the fight had a 24/7 (it would). It could do some pretty big numbers

            Prioritising yourself to one Belt is nice record to hold but ultimately means nothing, its the fighters you beat at the end of the day, whether its for the WBU, IBO or any other crap organisation.

            Having said that, beating Martinez would be a great win and something I think Floyd "could" achieve, though whether he walks the walk is another question altogether.

              I would be a good win but people will say he only won because Martinez is old (35 or 36).

                  It would impress me being his 6th lineal title in a 5th weight class. The piece of tin doesn't mean a thing.

                    He won the WBC belt at 130,135,140,147 and 154

                    Winning the WBC belt at 160 would make it 6
