    Not that we have many good writers here, but I always read Jake's articles. It is true that the next fight is suppose to be the Pac and May fight, which is also what helps Mayweather sell and reduce Pac's sales because Mayweather is retired.

    If Mayweather suggests he will fight Pac, the fans will buy both of their fights.

    He once again did a smart move by picking a guy who has flaws, but had a good win. It works everytime.

    Most if not all Mayweather opponents have showed flaws, and tue same with Pac's I guess, but it is funny that they both may be waiting to pick each other at the right time too.

    Ps. Correct met with meet in the last 4th or 5th paragraph.

      Just think about it for a second, seriously, clottey, mosley, margs and JJM all tune ups for these two. Pretty amazing i think. These two will fight before long.

        Pac sales never lessen and he always fought what was put in front of him while Floyd always choose his opponent. Team Pacquiao and his promoter time and time again says that they want Floyd, but the latter wants no part of Pac, The whole world knows that Floyd is the one avoiding the p4p king.

          I wasted 6 minutes of my life reading that. I'm not buying Pacquiao or Mayweather's PPVs solely because I think it's gonna lead up to a match up between the two, I'm not that gullible. People should stop dwelling on that fight already, if the fight doesn't happen...then at the very least hope that Mayweather and Pacquiao take on credible opponents, that's the very least we should expect from either.

          I do like that analogy, dangling the carrot in front of us but honestly, I NEVER felt like they were doing that in the first place. The whole Mayweather is facing Ortiz to prepare for Pacquiao, or Pacquiao facing Marquez to prepare for Mayweather is ******, stop jumping to conclusions. We have a good match up in Mayweather vs. Ortiz, stick to that.

            In my opinion, I always felt that the fans wanted thr foght, and the media caused the hype between the two. There's always talk of each other, post fight, pre fight, etc...

            Arum talks of Mayweather, Roger of Pac, etc...

            People, not all, but people do buy it because they expect the next to be each other.

            Not so much recently though.

              Maybe, but even Arum mentions Loyd at the time of Pac fights.

                  HBO wake up! mayweather called you a liar that no negociation took place then Greenburg shot floyd down by confirming there was indeed talks between camps.

                  HBO rather gives in to floyd and GBP to make this fight happen instead of pressuring floyd and demanding to fight manny.

                  Floyd goes into hiding when manny dont have a fight signed. Then Floyd comes out after manny signs the contract.

                  Floyds praises HBO as the greatest network, what gimicky and sly his playing HBO for a fool again and again and get away with it.

                  HBO is his b1tch as shanes gf screamed that hes turning into a b1tch for manny.

                    First off, Pacquiao follows other boxers, not the other way around.

                    Mayweather beat DLH@ 175. So PAc fought him at 145lbs.

                    Mayweather knocked out Hatton when Hatton was on top. Pac fought Hatton after that.

                    Margarito destroyed Cotto. Then Pacquiao beat him after that.

                    Cotto beat Clottey. Pac then fought and beat Clottey after that.

                    Mosley destroyed Margarito. Pac then decided to fight Margarito.

                    Mayweather dominated Mosley. After 2 years of denying Mosley a shot, his defeat is what prompted Pac to finally give Mosley a shot.

                    Mayweather announces his fight against Ortiz, the WINNER of a WW world title fight. People are excited. No one is excited about Pac fighting Marquez.

                    There is no pressure to fight Pac because Pac is a fraud. For a guy the boxing media calls dominant, he has never fought a WW that was on top. His last 6 opponents just came off the biggest losses of their careers.

                    Floyd is looking to fight the best without using catchweights. Ortiz, like Mosley, was coming off a win. His opponents are on top when he fights them. Why would HBO put pressure on Floyd when its Pacquiao who won't sign the contract? Floyd was ready to fight Pac 2 years ago, but Pac was crying back then about being scared of needles and other bull****.

                    Pacquiao is playing the "little guy" despite being only 2" shorter than Floyd. He uses catchweights despite always being able to make 147lbs. He fights all the boxers who lose to other first WW champions because he needs to see someone win to get an idea of how to win. There are always excuses made for Pac.

                    It needs to stop. There are so many suspect details about Pacquiao and his career that its ridiculous .. starting with the fact that he hasn't fought anyone we know until his 41st fight.

                    Take the test Pac or STFU.
