Based on all the signs, i think Floyd will fight Sergio

[The Big Dunn]

While we do not have official numbers, it has been said by fat dan and other decent sources, pac vs mosley did 1.2-1.4m ppv, higher than what he did vs margo anyway at showtime

that makes it impossible for hbo to make those two guys do anything as showtime will steal them away

floyd vs manny would never fight, if floyd does take on the martinez fight which I know he wont, we will know he isnt afraid to fight pac at all which looks like he is atm

The Pac Mosley 1.2 mil projection seems to be off somewhat. SHowtime used CBS airtime to market that fight. No promoter can afford to pay for primetime regular TV advertising to promote fights regularly.

I see your point but showtime is in no way able to compete. Smaller budget. In fewer then half the homes that HBO is. ANd mostly perception. HBO is the MAJORS, showime is still seen as the minors. Manny would take it but I can't see floyd going there.

I think sergio might have a little trouble with 154, he looks like a full blown MW to me, but he says he can do it, so its on him. it's reasonable.

he might say he can get to 150, but I wouldn't beleive that for a second.

I think it would be ATG legendary if floyd went after the undisputed MW crown at this point in his career against a fighter like sergio. so I'm doing a little bit of fantasizing with the 157 and up.

maybe sergio can get 155 and come in a 159 like floyd did vs marquez?

I don't feel like he's a full blown MW. He's a small MW IMO and coul easily make 154.

Anything below that he hasn't made in years so logically that makes no sense.

nawww man, ortiz aint impressive as wasnt mosley for pac, ortiz just two fights ago drew to peterson and before that lost to maidana

boxing is a business now, before it was about pride. both guys pac and may have been cherry picking for years and it will carry on till they go

IFC mosley fought 24 rounds before the manny fight vs floyd and mora. he won 7 of those rounds. On yahoo and other sites that poll writers to pick p4p, floyd got a number of votes.
Those voters felt floyd beating ortiz was more impressive than manny beating shane. At this point they are correct. Shane is clearly an all time better fighter but when SHane and MAnny fought, SHane was not a champion nor a mandatory opponent.

If it does happen, it's the most sellable fight that is not Floyd-Pacman. I would buy that ppv,(the last ppv I actually bought was Pacman-Cotto). Was still a big Pacfan back then, (although I went for Cotto).

But Floyd Martinez at 154 or above solidifies Floyd's career as the better fighter between him & Pacman, win or lose.

if nothing else changes, i can agree, but if they fight it doesn't mean floyd/pac is dead.


pac has nothing else right now that can rival that fight not named mayweeather unless khan comes up somehow and whips everyone else at ww and manny fights him. but pac sergio is a physical mismatch.

I will not believe **** until it happens

Oh absolutely, Floyd fighting Martinez doesn't kill Floyd-Pac, but it sure distances them at welterweight & above, big edge Floyd. Pacman fighting Khan will never, under any circumstance top Floyd fighting Martinez, IMO.

Khan said he wont fight pac anyway.

Too bad Bradley refused the khan fight. If he had beaten khan then fought manny that wouldve been huge and IMO equal to floyd sergio. Beating CAsamayor after ducking khan and fighting manny looks so suspect.

i can think of circumstances. like if floyd made sergio come down to 150.

Pac is FOTD so please give him a break. He fought Cotto and Margarito for Floyd already, so now you want Pac to soften Sergio up for Floyd as well?

just sign the contract already and stop teasing the public with this will they or wont they nonsense!

FOTD? break that down, not sure what that acronym means. Floyd beat De La Hoya and Hatton first...What the f_uck are you talking about softening up opponents. When the last time you saw Pac fight a young prime fighter with power?

Pac needs to fight Sergio more than Floyd does.
