    Not necessarily.

    I think that Khan comes with a different style and a speed that Floyd hasn't seen in years. I don't really have any desire to watch Floyd go 12 rounds with a guy who can't put a glove on him. Which is what will happen with Maidana.

    I personally don't care who has deserved it more. I'm in the business of watching fights, I'm not matchmaker.

    Plus, we might actually get a knockout.

      PAC should have taken it.
      You do realise Mayweather made less to fight Cotto than what he would have got against Pacquiao? Why do people think this is a one way thing.

      Why should either of them be dictated to? At the time, they were both drawing huge numbers on PPV.

        Naturally.

        But he still made 40 mil.
        Because PAC brings less to the table? It's pretty obvious.

            He brings less to the table now. When the offer was made, both guys were at the peak of their powers. Mayweather apparently offered 50/50 in the first round of negations then he offers 100-0 a few years later when neither had lost a fight? Obviously it was a joke offer that no one in Pacquaio's position would accept.

              Just because you have a childish obsession with who Floyd fights, doesn't mean everyone else has to have the same.

              I think Floyd-Khan is a good fight. What's the problem?
              Ur right it's a good fight my bad...

                No he didn't.

                And they have never brought in the same as Pacs PPVs have never matched Mayweathers. Mayweather did 2.8million in 2007! PAC deserves his cut, but if I made 1.5 or double what he did, why would I give him 50-50?

                  Floyd knows Maidana will go for broke.

                      He didn't what?

                      Pac deserves his cut so why are you saying he should have accepted a flat fee?
