Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[-Kev-]

Crawford vs Bey @ 140, the exposure for Crawford would benefit Bob

I think Ortiz vs Rios is very possible cause winners n losers could face each

Also who is Omar figueroa with GBP or Haymon

I feel like they might put the next big boxing star for exposure

Let's not bore the biggest audience in boxing history. Boxing should try to impress with this event, with an all around exciting card. If a fight sounds like a stinker, then it usually does end up being a stinker. There are exceptions but no stylistic risks should be taken with this event by matchmakers.

This PPV will sell 3,000,000 buys or more. In PPV money it will generate $200,000,000, it will generate another $100,000,000 in gate revenue. Closed circuit, theaters, merchandise, sponsors will generate another $75,000,000(took that out my ass TBH). I predict this fight generates a total channel revenue of around $375 million dollars.

Floyd could take in a total of $165 million dollars. - taxes, expenses and who he owes.
Pacquiao is looking to take $110 million dollars. - taxes, expenses and who he owes.
Cable companies take $100 million.


Numbers are completely made up and total revenue could vary completely from above figures. Above numbers are simply guesses for entertainment purposes only.

If both these guys make $100 mil +....thats absolutely mind blowing

I can honestly see both these guys stopping each other. Manny better be careful of Floyds counter right hand, and I can see Mannys angles and southpaw stance giving Floyd fits, absolute fits.

Opting to go to an NBA game between the Heat and Milwaukee Bucks, Pacquiao looked across the court to see Mayweather, who frequently attends Heat games and visits South Beach.

Like Manny said, It is Gods will, Koncz said. God put us together. It is important, tremendous, for boxing for this to happen, this is the Super Bowl of boxing. We just showed up, and all these things transpired.

If this is what transpired. Then it was really unplanned. It's Gods master plan for them to collide in Miami.

The other BIG question is.. Who do God choose among the 2 champions?

Yeah man, Crawford is not boring. But Crawford vs Bey sounds risky. Crawford vs Omar Figueroa could be an interesting fight. Crawford vs Soto also sounds alright. They should stack the card with fights that won't be a chore to watch as we casual/hardcores/and new fans wait for the main event.

"That's the first time they ever sat eye to eye. I've met Floyd many times, but he and Manny had never had a chance to meet," Koncz told ESPN.com. "They talked at halftime, but this was a longer, more serious meeting. You could tell by their body language that this was very positive. It was for a good hour or more.
"It was a business meeting, but it wasn't a tense business meeting. I think that's because they both have mutual respect for each other. We'll determine what will happen over the next couple of days."

- cant believe they got to talk for an hour without punching each other.. Respect.

But why "Crawford vs Bey sounds risky"? Is it because of Bey's testosterone levels?
... On another hand I don't think that Crawford would want Figueroa -- the kid has longer reach...
