If JMM was smart he would push for Floyd rematch before 5th Pac fight= $$$$

Belts dont mean anything to a 39 year old fighter like JMM. If you were JMM would you take the risk of making probably the same amount vs Bradley you made vs Pac or would you rather just try to solve the Mayweather puzzle and get your highest Payday ever? Bradley brings no revenue to the table especially since he hasnt fought since the Pac fight.Why, so people can say that the only reason Floyd dominated him a second time was because JMM was old?
As good as JMM looked KOing Pac, won't change the fact that JMM would have to be the aggressor vs Floyd and would look just as bad as he did last time. Maybe worse as Floyd wouldn't be coming off a 2 year layoff looking for a tune up.
JMM fighting for Bradley's belt makes sense. Could be marketed as the last 2 men that "beat" Pac are settling the score for the WW title.
Meanwhile Pac can fight The Ghost, the #3 WW. Fighting a top rated WW is something Pac hasn't accomplished in years.Comment

Which is why the rematch needs to occur. So there isnt any historical excuses from revisionist when speaking on the 1st Mayweather-Marquez fight.Yep its true and hard to imagine how anybody could toy with JMM like that , a boxing wizard schooling another technical master with such ease , boxing at its finest pure platinum gold .
But the sour g**** losers dont want to admit it , but they admit it anyway by being such Floydaholic haters , Floyd has them by the balls LOL .Comment

This is the reason I want to see the fight.
Plus its 2 ATG's going at it, Id be more excited for this than a fight vs Guerrero.Comment

Mayweather won't pay him anything. Granted it would be more but you're assuming Floyd would take the fight and people would actually watch it.
Burt Surgar was the only one that thought JMM would give Floyd the toughest fight of his life (even though he flipped it post fight of course). Nobody would be any more interested now than they were before.
However fighting Bradley is the most meaningful fight, career wise and he can demand a guarantee amount from Bob Arum to take the fight. If he just wants a payday, fight Pac again in Mexico with the extra tests he was calling for. Fighting Floyd is just **** way for him to go out...Comment

JMM just landed the shot that was heard literally around the world, Pacs layed out body is plastered all over the world wide web!! JMM's name has never been in so many peoples mouths and in so many peoples thoughts. Coming off an icing of Pac, then fighting Mayweather on May 4th is probably the biggest PPV fight that can be made right now.Mayweather won't pay him anything.

I do agree Floyd should fight Bradley, but I think Bradley should fight Guerrero and the winner fights the winner of Mayweather vs JMM. Bradley and Guerrero dont have large fan bases but I believe their styles would make for a very exciting fight which could bring more attention to them.
Mayweather gave Cotto 15 Million, and that was after beating Margarito
Granted Cotto is the #3 PPV star in the sport but Mayweather & JMM did 1.2 the first time and this was Mayweather coming off layoff and JMM moving up in weight. I think the Pac KO is worth at least that......

How funny is it that the same people said that about Mosley when he KO'D Margarito. Everyone said that Floyd would duck him. Should have heard Arum saying he would never fight Mosley. Even Manny said he would only fight him at a catchweight of something like 140. So just stop it...Comment

Even if JMM asked for it, I can't see Floyd taking it. He didn't even show the slightest of interest in fighting JMM again when asked. Just basically said it took Pac four fights and failed when it only took him one and he dominated every second of every round.JMM just landed the shot that was heard literally around the world, Pacs layed out body is plastered all over the world wide web!!

IMO, JMM vs Bradley, Pac vs Guerrero, winners fight each other.Comment

Bob Arum quote from an October 2009 Boxing Scene articleHow funny is it that the same people said that about Mosley when he KO'D Margarito. Everyone said that Floyd would duck him. Should have heard Arum saying he would never fight Mosley. Even Manny said he would only fight him at a catchweight of something like 140. So just stop it...
"I think Cotto probably beats Mayweather, I think Manny probably beats Mayweather & I think Mosley beats Mayweather, I think Shane Mosley because of his style has the best chance to beat Mayweather"
BoxingScene.com sat down with Top Rank’s Bob Arum to discuss the possibility of a Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao encounter in 2010, and a variety of other related topics. The biggest hurdle to make that fight is the money. Mayweather, on more than one occasion, has gone on the record and made it clear that he won’t take a 50-50 deal to fight Pacquiao. He often cites his pay-per-view numbers as a big factor in demanding more money than Manny. In at least two interviews, Mayweather has taken the position of demanding at least a 60-40 split in his favor.Comment
