Bob Arum will use a "Floyd sweepstakes" kind of promotion to build Pac/Bradley II in April. Then after that the winner will fight Marquez giving him his second shot at winning another title in another division.
Bob Arum doesn't want the fight and there is nothing we can do about it.
When the entire time everyone should have been focusing on 1 man.

Judah still had a title and the fight was already signed
ortiz had the WBC title floyd wanted
manny has nothing floyd wants and floyd get paid big with or without him
Even though the fight is going be sold to us way after it should've happened.

I talked before this fight that I was getting hyped because Pac looked like a beast in the clips I saw. I thought he would run through Riios and then after a couple of fights it would be a mega fight again. I felt that he atleast had to beat one more guy even if he did look great against Rios but half the people thought he didnt and the other half who thought he did, felt he looked alot less explosive then before.
No way this is a mega fight if he doesnt beat Bradley or JMM fight and no way Floyd fights him before that. Its not so much about Pac needing to avenge losses but its about the fight being 10x bigger with a win over one or both guys and most of all, Floyd gets way more credit for a win if Pac beats one of them 1st. Floyd is not going to fight him now when he wouldnt get a ton of credit for the win.
Even if Floyd decided to take the fight now, you would hear all the sentiment change. The same people who at this moment are talking about Floyd ducking him would then switch to say "why is cherry picker all of asudden so eager to fight him? He knows Pac is past his prime and he's just trying to cherry pick him at the right time". You cant have it both ways
Btw, I wasn't saying Floyd shouldn't have fought all of those fights I was merely pointing out the silliness that Pacquiao has to avenge a loss before he fights Floyd. Fight still won't ever happen so it's a pointless debate anyway.

When Cotto left he made the fight with Floyd easily (Never was even discussed when they were both with top rank) Arum is the problem I think more people will realize it every time the fight is discussed but doesn't get made.
At least Mayweather and Golden boy are not lying to the fans and pretending that its going to happen. You don't hear them mentioning many before or after of any of Floyd's fights. At this point it comes down to who has the best options to fight someone else and make more money and the answer right now is Floyd. He could fight any of these guys and the fans will be satisfied (Cotto rematch, Martinez, Garcia, Maidona if he beats Broner). The only fight I see for Manny is Bradly(which will probably not sell that much), or Ruslan Provodnikov
