Fight won't happen....PAC crippled Bradley and that's what Floyd was afraid the most. Health come first.

imagine what manny would've done to him had he punched tim during the 1st 1:30 of each round?

I don't know how Floyd was #1 P4P if he cherry picked. This era of boxing has very very few ATG.

if it makes sense to you that a fighter who fought over 20 world champions cherrypicked his way to the top, then fine. prior to the odh fight, floyd was a tr fighter. so If TR's model is cherrypicking, what does that say about Manny?

you and people who think like you are the are like donald trump and the birthers-you've already been proved wrong so eveything else you say is just noise.

Actually most people don't have a problem with him in his TR days at SF and LW. But then the cherry picking came in and it just got worse as the years went on.

When did he team up with Haymon?

Floyd can fight:

Alexander/Bailey winner 1.2 mill + PPV
Alvarez 1.5 + PPV
Cotto 2 1.5 + PPV
Garcia 1.2 + PPV
Bradley 1.2-1.5 PPV
Peterson 1.0 + PPV
Martinez 1.8 + PPV
Hatton 2 1.5 + PPV
Kirkland 1.2 + PPV

Bottom line "Floyd Does Not Need Manny!!!!

BIG DUMM, Manny didn't turn down the Fight, He turned Down ,
FRAUD's UnPrecedented Demands, that El BOY, knew would not
be Acceptable!!!

How can a man that has NEVER made close to 40 million for a fight turn down a fight for 40 million?

"No test, no fight.", "I want 100%PPV, otherwise, no fight.", "50/50 has expired.", "14 days cut-off offer has expired.".....

Man, is this the picture of a man who wants to prove himself in the ring against a guy he calls an easy fight? This is the picture of a scared boxer.

The Pacquiao fight makes much more then any of those.

But they are all good pay day, if a little exagerated.

So Floyd doesn't need Pacquiao pay day wise, legacy wise, he is a must though.

At least this guy is being honest. Floyd does not need Manny. Floyd is not the kind of guy you guys are looking for. He has no intention of proving himself he's the best. World wants to see him fight Pacman, but he's not interested.

You have to persuade Floyd and offer him the kind of money he wants. Otherwise, on his own he won't do it.

Green K sent.

I think that both guys are running out of options. Cotto was the last big money fight for Floyd in terms of GREAT PPV sales...I dont see him ever fighting Sergio, but Canelo or Amir would be big in terms of money. I think a Manny Khan fight would do GREAT numbers with a GREAT story behind the promo, and Floyd with Canelo would be just as good. Thats about all thats left for these 2 it seems other than each other. I guess in a way, both guys need to decide if these smaller names are worth the bigger money payday.

I like this. I think Manny could be lining up Khan with it being billed as some kind of grudge match.
Khan has been babbling about a December return so Big Bob might have decided this is where the only money is and he is willing to sacrifice Manny for a big payday and a shot at Mayweather for the winner next year.
Only downside is that the loser of a Khan Pacquiao fight is effectively finished.
It is however a great way to get 2 MASSIVE paydays for 2 fighters that are seriously short of options right now.
