    Bold Prediction.....

    Khan's "bigger fight" will wind up being a Danny Garcia rematch in March at 147. Floyd will fight Devon Alexander in May, as long as he takes care of business against Shawn Porter. The Broner-Maidana winner will fight Robert Guerrero in April/May next year, while the Judah-Paulie winner will fight Thurman next year, so long as Thurman beats Soto Karass.

    This is what I hope happens at this point. It leaves everything pretty set. If Khan gets revenge and beats Danny Garcia, a Floyd-Khan fight becomes legit and a sell for September. If Danny handles him again, it's his 147 tune up, he proves it was no fluke beating him before, and sets up Mayweather-Garcia as a pretty big September fight.

      The manny fight is still a big event. But losing to JMM like that greatly decreased the significance in the minds of a lot of fans.

      I still want to see it and hope it happens. But I'd rather see floyd try and win the lineal MW title 1st.
      Im still not convinced Floyd isnt too small for MW but Id give him a lot of credit if he fought there.

        How about Floyd Mayweather vs. Peter Quillin?

          he is too small to campaign at MW. but for a one shot try at the lineal MW title-i think he's fine.

          Frankly-tim or sergio are the fights I want to see next. but I'd take the manny fight of course.

            What big money fight is there at MW for him to entertain?

                Didn't think it would do that low, I thought 600k.

                  it could still rise to around 500k which it probably will like every other ppv after the initial numbers are given

                  it really depends how it did in china, hbo keep around 15m from the revenue, with the other going to TR, 8m gate and I am sure that much would come from the sponsors, china and international rights combined as well

                  this is why they have guarantees in boxing, so pac got his 18m and rios got paid his money

                  looks like there will be little ppv bonus for pac, bob most likely lost out on money in this fight but I still think pac is better off

                  remember the 18m is a guarantee after the agents cut, also no taxes on it

                  if manny got around 25m in the usa, it would total to about 18m in terms of what he takes home

                  people need to forget about the floyd fight, team mayweather has paid it clear they want to part of pac, hence the him fighting under tmt promotions a few times before he gets a floyd fight

                      If you want Floyd to fight at 160, why not against GGG then? Martinez is pushing 40, looked like crap in his last fight, and his body is breaking down.
