Here is how you figure out who needs who. Pac is starting to be mentioned by reputable journalists as having entering "rarefied air", meaning all time greatness, whether you agree with that or not. Mayweather is simply discussed as being a great talent. The greatest of his era. Do the math. I don't think 60 minutes is rushing to do a story on Mayweather anytime soon.

i dont think they are weary of manny fighting technical boxers...mind you gentlemen that boxing is also a business...selling tickets and PPV...if they are afraid of matching manny with a technical boxer then they woudn't mention floyd's name everytime opportunities presents itself...lets face it guys technical boxers doesn't sell tickets and PPV...technical boxers dont make a compelling dramatic fight that could excite the audience and having them to come back for more(ofcourse there are a few exceptions)...FIGHTERS with BIG heart and devil may cry attitude in the ring sells tickets and PPV that is why they are the one's that are getting paid...if technical boxers are the one's selling tickets and PPV, Manny would be all over their asses...but unfortunately their not....

That's one of the best reasons right there, an action packed brawl is more likely to catch the eye of a casual boxing fan.

Attracting more of the casual/mainstream fans is where promoters etc would stand to make the most money rather than the fewer hardcore boxing fans.

Why is it everytime they talk about fighting Mayweather there is ALWAYS 2 or 3 more options IF the fight don't go through? Face it people THEY DON'T WANNA FIGHT MAYWEATHER!!!

After Pac destroys whoever he fights next...."they weren't slick enough" or "He wasn't really American anyways...(Berto)" or "He still can't beat a slick Cuban fighter" or "He hasn't beaten enough European boxers"........................the story will never end

you mean shane mosley?

It's not about who Pac fights, just worship him. Believe in him and his holy war against the evil Mayweather clan. Bow down when he pulls off the miraculous feat of double punching Joshua Clottey while emptying your wallets at the same time. Manny is to be praised, my friend.

I really hope Mosley-Pacquiao doesn't happen. Hopefully Berto gets served up instead

Mosley doesn't deserve a fight he is a quitter and a soft loser looking for a check. Mosley quit against Floyd and survived just a soft loser Golden Boy wants to go away.
