In a recent poll conducted by ESPN's Sports Nation, Boxing fans were asked to vote on who they feel should be Floyd 'Money' Mayweather Jr's next foe? With nearly 40,000 votes tabulated thus far (the polling is still ongoing) a whopping 58% (really should come as no surprise) want Mayweather Jr. to face off against none other than the 'Pacman', Manny Pacquiao.

The next highest name on the list is Danny Garcia, and he pulled in 18% of the votes followed by Adrien Broner with 12%.

Amir Khan edged out of the last spot with 7% of the votes just coming in ahead of Miguel Cotto with 5%.

58% of the votes from a calculated 39,782 cast votes is a lot and speaks volumes that even to this day a majority of fans truly believe there is unfinished business between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao.

And let's face it... if Mayweather vs. Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez has become the highest grossing PPV to this date (as the SHOWTIME press release sent out yesterday indicated it had)... I imagine Pacquiao vs. Mayweather can and would surpass #THEONE in terms of PPV sales.

So fans, if you still want Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, keep your voices heard... and at 58%, there is a lot of you.

It should still happen at some point. Obviously, it would have been much bigger/better a few years ago, but it is still a huge PPV featuring a bout between two HOF fighters. Whether it will happen is another question.

Spoon i know you are a huge p@ctard..but seriously you dont lose 2 fights in a row,1 by ko(to a guy floyd himself gets 0 credit for toying with) then return and fight Rios(who was 1-1 at 140 and not even top 5 there) at ww..Manny hasn't fought a ranked ww period since 2011 and hasn't beaten a ww coming off of a win period since 2009...not hating just stating facts here..wondering why he is even still at ww

It just seems like there's too many differences to overcome in the way for this fight to ever happen. It would be great, but I'm definately not counting on it.

Hell I want to see it as well, And my prediction is Manny retires at the hands of Money! I really like Manny but he is out of position way to often to mess with Floyd!

That's because he arguably is.


With that being said Pac-Pbf is still the fight of every casual wants to see and it would still make big bank.
