Comments Thread For: Mayweather Jr. To Finalize Foe - Says "Pacquiao Who?"

[kingfaze19]

Floyd is not fighting Pacquiao for two reasons.
1. Bob Arum
2. He can make millions facing just about any name he chooses, because behind peoples' hatred of him is a deep appreciation for his gifted skills.

Another thing holding it back is Pacquiao not being vocal about his opponent selection, all he says is ''ask my promoter'', so Floyd has to go through a guy he hates and owes him money instead of Pacquiao growing some b@ll$ and pressuring Arum to make the fight happen, but he's happy playing the quiet shy man role and letting Arum pimp him around.

He is tied with showtime. Showtime needs to make a profit too. So if showtime wants PAC it means that's were the money is.

Floyd is tied with showtime contract. He has to agree if Showtime wants it. Hope has finally come. Can't walk out on this one Floyd. Show time wants it.

There's no way a fight with khan brakes a million buys, I'd guess it might even do less than the Guerrero fight. Let's estimate it at 800k.

So if Floyd next fight does 800k buys, and a mayweather pacquiao fight does over 2 million, even a 50-50 split generates more for Floyd. Expect a split to be about 60/40 or 70/30 though. Lots of money to be made!
Good point.

This means-
Showtime wants PAC, coz money wise that's the way to go.

The better deal to take for showtime and Floyd to profit is the Pac fight. I read somewhere that showtime didn't make money for both guerrero and the Canelo fight. He has a 300 million deal with showtime and 6 fight contract. Showtime of course needs to make money not only floyd. In that case, Floyd must concede if the numbers points to Pac. This is defintely a good sign. Floyd even if he wants to duck Pacquiao, he actually cant coz it takes 2 to tango and the other guy who can create a good ppv event is Pacquiao.

Floyd only has 2 options khan and pac. Pac is the logical choice because it will give him better numbers. If he goes for khan. That is obviously an instant duck coz there is more money to be made with pac.

Bob Arum is the reason why Floyd health come first...we get it.

Floyd worshipers seem to have dropped the
Pacquiao refused testing crap. They now
switched to the Arum is blocking the fight excuse.
Very convenient.

Floyds fans will always have an excuse ready, pointless discussion

[SlySlickSmooth]

If its Khan, I will be disappointed.

i'd actually be pleased with garcia. he's the champion at 140, and in his prime.

Garcia doesnt add anything to floyd's legacy and hes running out of time....Garcia will be another Floyd vs. Canelo and much predictable than that and probably worse than floyd vs Guerrero

Who? The guy you'll be hearing about until the day you die because you'll never fight him. That's who.
