Pacquiao ranked top contender -WBC

[kurt0411]

Rightfully so he should be no 1, interesting lol.

Wont really make floyd get in the ring with manny at the end of the day but still funny

The memory that people have for both Pac and Floyd are night and day. There used to be a time when pac was known. Not anymore. Floyd is the only person who can revive Pac's name.

Floyd may be more popular to boxing fans currently, but when it comes to legacy Pac will be remembered more fondly. Let's see if Floyd avoids Pacquiao now that he's the mandatory challenger to fight him. If he relinquishes the belt, than you know he has no interest at all in ever fighting him.

Casual fans on espn voted floyd top 5 all time. Now we can disagree with that but it seems the casual fan doesn't hold floyd responsible for Manny not being willing to fight.

The last time I heard it was Floyd throwing roadblocks left and right. Now, it's Pac ducking Floyd? That's news to a lot of people. Funny tho'...

This is a great move by the WBC,,, they know the sanctioning fees would be astronomical for this fight...

Have manny become #1 contender, and force a purse bid,,, Then Arum and GBP can duke it out in an auction to see who brings the most cash to each fighter,,

The split is usually 70/30 or 75/25 for the champ, cant remember but it would be a fair deal for all parties involed,,

It would cut out all the BS negotiations and would actually force GBP, TR, to put up or shut up,,

It would force both manny and floyd to fight, or be shown as a huge duck,, If floyd vacates, its a duck, and if manny backs out, its a duck

THis is the best scenario to make this fight happen

wouldn't they have to announced manny as the mandatory challenger first? being 1st in the rankings doesn't necessarily mean your the mando, i thought.

Ok, true, maybe i jumped the gun,, but you can see what the WBC is doing,,, when manny and floyd both titlists, other sanctioning bodies wont rank another champ,,
But now that manny is beltless and listed as #1, a purse bid is coming sooner than later

And we will see once and for all, who doesnt want the fight if manny or floyd back out,, or the fight gets made...

similar to povetkin and wlad,,, took along time, but eventually a purse bid made the fight happen,

I bet by summer a purse bid will be ordered, then its on like donkey kong,,


The only problem will be if manny fight bradley and wins, then manny would be a WBO champ and lose his #1 rankings,,, God dammit, i jsut though of that and thats exactly what will happen, and then no purse bid,, Damn boxing politics

As with everything WBC related, this is negotiable. So it wouldn't cut out the negotiations at all unfortunately.

Even if they could agree on money they'd only find something else to disagree over anyway. Trunk colour or density of the ring ropes or something similarly impossible to resolve. Shower of bull****ters.
