    Normally I'd say "same ****, different date", but I feel like all parties realize their time is almost up, so this is their last HUGE pay day. Win or lose, they go off into the sunset, knowing they'll have a lot more 0's in their bank account.

      I really think it's going to happen. I think the 50 Cent equation is something tor eally look at. Plus, Floyd knows if TMT Co-Promotes that it's more money for him in the end too.

      If Arum picks Marquez for Pac this November, Floyd should see about a tune-up against Bradley in December. Than, make the fight in April/May 2013.

              On a side note, I love how people are saying these guys are so far past it, that's crazy. Floyd hasn't been prime since 2007, and when he was boxing Cotto in the middle of the ring, he was every bit as mobile and quick as he was in the Marquez fight. The only difference is Cotto made it a fight and cut the ring, trapped Floyd on the ropes, making it a rough fight for him.

              And Pacquiao hasn't been prime since 2009, but the only reason he looked vulnerable his past two fights is who he was fighting. Marquez who's a counter puncher and has him down, and Bradley who's a prime/Top 10 P4P/unbeaten fighter. And Manny still should have won against Bradley, handily.

              These guys are still two of the Top 3 fighters in the sport. Leonard and Hagler were past their prime-still good as well, and it was still a huge fight.

                    I'm a big Bradley fan, but there is NOTHING, I repeat.....NOTHING, Bradley does that can affect or trouble Floyd. It would be a wide UD, even more clear than Pac-Bradley.

                    But it would be a solid tune-up like fight for Floyd though, against a prime and top fighter around his weight.

                      what fight in boxing can be made that would suppress the Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight?
                      DLH would have to be promoting the Super Bowl to make any waves. LOL
