    Why? Pacquiao is facing an undefeated #3 ranked world champion and a guy who will be a stylistic nightmare for him.

    Floyd is rematching a guy he beat, a guy that isnt a world champion or highly ranked, and worse floyd won't even let him wear his own brand of gloves.

      Neither fight is bad, although if both promoters looked harder, they would find better opponents.

      In terms of boycotting, I think all PPV events should be boycotted.

      Now, the more I think about this, the more I feel that the Pac fight is better, Algieiri is young, quick, fast feet and hands, can box well and is very tall for a man fighting at that weight. Pac is only 5'6'', far from his best and will have problems getting in range. This is a better fight than what I thought when first announced.

              Arum isn't expecting big #s for this, which is why he's putting in Macau.

              The casino will throw him a huge paycheck just to bring it there.

                This pretty much, he's not relying on PPV. It's site fees.

                  This fight is a tough sell in the US. Its like a TYson/DOuglass fight.

                      Casuals are dumb if they buy this. But after all, Casuals don't know $h1t about boxing.
