    Anyone Else See A Potential Pac-Broner Fight Coming?

    Something I keep thinking about is we never got Floyd-Pac but I truly believe we could get a real preview. I believe if Broner wins against Paulie then you could truly soon see a Pac-Broner fight. Broner will want that huge money & fame. That fight would be massive and he would think he could win. HBO will hype Broner as a true mini Mayweather.

    Now there are a million obstacles in the way and we all know what those are but I still believe all of them would come together to make this fight. Why risk Broner against any tough WW or 140 pounder when you can get 10x more money to fight Pac who may not be that much harder of a matchup for Broner than some of the other guys are?

    That might be rushing him some but Pac is getting older and Broner will have to fight elite guys anyways because these divisions run deep. I see it happening. I see Broner talking alot about it if he looks good & feels comfortable at the weight while I see Arum & Pac being interested in truly trying to work something out.

    Pac is running out of opponents and the money that HBO can put behind a Broner fight would be more than Pac could get anywhwere else. Some will argue that Broner is not a star but trust me, this 24/7 would be so easy to market and make huge. They could easily sell it as the next best thing to Floyd and Broner would be classic on 24/7 for good & bad reasons

      Arum will think that Pac would knock him out. Broner is like Floyd before the Oscar fight. He'll do anything to get that money & fame. It will be a ton easier to make

          lol I thought of this before too. I like the Idea. The build up would be good, and if Broner wins he would skyrocket in popularity, and if Pacquiao wins People will say hes back and maybe a Mayweather Revenge match. I think it would put a whole lot of interest back in mayweather-pacquiao if this goes down like that. I'd Favor Pacquiao over Broner as of now because Broner was getting hit by Rees, and Pacquiao would get in and start ****ing him up

            true but I also think Broner was halfway clowning and didnt respect Rees. Thats my problem with both Broner & Gamboa. They both clown and admire themselves too much. They dont focuse for 3min of every round like Floyd does yet they look up to him. Broner can get away with that now but when he fights someone who can truly beat him, then he will give away rounds doing that. He better start taking things serious and stop feeling himself so much

              No way. Too risky for Broner and GB. They'll milk him against sub par competition for as long as possible, then step him up against a guy like Ortiz.

              Even if he beat Paquiao, the amount of damage he'd take isn't worth it in the long term.

                milking is fine but its not like he's Floyd or Pac where he can milk and get 40mil. His milk will just be ok money and thats not what he wants

                  At this stage in his career, he has much more exposure than Floyd. He's got the appealing style, he's got the benefit of the HBO machine, and WSHH/Youtube.

                  I think he can sell himself. As long as he keeps hanging out with Floyd, and getting exposure through being around him, he'll be fine.

                  Of course Pacquiao would blow him the **** up, but the risk is way too much at this point.

                    Makes sense to me. Preparation for a Pac Floyd fight. Given Floyd grows some nuts and fights Manny
