    Why is Manny Pacquiao not enough for HBO?

    So with Floyd being gone HBO is looking for there new PPV attraction, Why is Manny Pacquiao not enough? Why are they overlooking Pacquiao to make Broner there next PPV attraction?

    Is Pac not a big enough draw? Is his career coming to a end??

      The company can't rely on one fighter. What if he has to retire on medical advice or (God forbid) is involved in an accident. They can't put all their eggs in one basket.

        Pacquio lived of off Mayweather's name, as Money always said. No Mayweather, no Marquez = No Pacquiao. The myth is dead. In my mind there was never even a myth but some people, you know them. Right now they are looking for the next Pacquiao, who will also be a good for nothing non-black fighter who isn't as good and Mayweather or Broner to make a good "Good Guy" impression. I'm thinking a "family man" to oppose the party style of Money and Broner and right wing. Too bad those are too ****ing crappy to even build up so they'll settle for the next best thing - a Latino. I guess people have to dream.

          MAybe they should have Pacquiao vs Broner for the HBO main attraction title. Then Mayweather can avenge his little brothers loss or atleast try for once

            It's because Pacquiao is nearing the end of his career and HBO knows it. He should be retiring by now. The problem with HBO is that aside from Broner they don't have any other guys who get solid numbers every time they fight. When Oscar was at the end of his career, at least HBO had Pacquiao, Cotto, and Mayweather. Who else do they have now? Donaire? As good and exciting as he is, he brings only probably a fourth of what Pacquiao brought before Pacquiao became a huge star.

              This would be the only way to breathe air back into the DEAD Mayweather Vs Pacquiao fight....

              Think about it..Pac destroys Floyd little Brother, and people will argue and debate that Pac surely can beat the older, slower Brother Mayweather.

                  And vice-versa. They were yin and yang. Even after Pacquiao's knockout loss they still bring up Pacquiao's name to Mayweather.

                  And Pacquiao made Marquez. Without their tetralogy, Marquez would be still considered third after Barrera and Morales.
