    Maybe this forces Mayweather vs Pacquiao....

    Wishful thinking from a fan but hey.

    It's not that Mayweather-Maidana doing 850K is bad, it's a pretty good number for a PPV fight. Oscar only had 4 fights do over a million, and 2 of them were with Floyd and Manny. Floyd and Manny have both done more fights over a million than him.

    But with Floyd's crazy big guarantee's, I don't know man. Mayweather-Guerrero did like 850-900K or whatever it was, and he was guaranteed 32 million. It was a bit of a financial loss for Showtime probably in large part because of Floyd getting THAT MUCH. Floyd would probably have opted to fight Canelo next anyways, but that fight allowed everyone to recover. And though Floyd got an even bigger guarantee, that fight made more than any other fight in history. It allowed Showtime to make up any loss and then some.

    Now with Maidana doing roughly the same ballpark as Guerrero did, the only other HUGE MASSIVE fight would be Pacquiao probably. I don't know. Wishful thinking from a fan.

    Maidana rematch will do over 1 million. Pac won't realistically happen until next year. Not a long enough time between now and September to sort out promotional/network/venue beefs.

    May is damn near half way over. They need to have everything finalized by mid June I would think to give the typical 90 days for promo.

      I think they'll go with Khan next. Maybe push the September date back because of Khan's name value. After that, if no Pacquiao they might have to get a bit risky and doing things like start looking at Martinez at MW.

      Of course they can rematch Maidana as well, but if those numbers are accurate maybe they would be more confident on Khan.

        Another huge fight would be the winner of Cotto-Martinez...but if Manny decides to promote himself the fight will happen

          Great idea, lets see how much Floyd can sell when he's not fighting on a Mexican holiday.

            I don't see why he has to hijack Mexican holidays when he's not fighting Mexicans. Canelo and Chavez and the likes should have those dates, imo.

              I want to see the Khan fight. I think that fight could sell pretty well, with all the m8ties and the Pakistani fan base Khan has.

              The Maidana rematch would sell well too, but I want to see the Khan fight.

                  850K for a card with Floyd, Khan, Maidana and Broner?


                  wow, for the most expensive undercard ever, that's a pretty disappointing number

                  LOL @ Showtime tho...all that Floyd nuthugging while he puts them in the red

                    You think that's a good match up? I mean yes Khan has speed but his last fight wasn't nothing special.
