This is why the Canelo vs. Cotto fight needs to happen May 2. Floyd wants to call himself the king of PPV he'll have to change the date of his next fight if the Canelo fight happens. Only fight that would top that is Floyd vs. Manny. Despite his arrogance he has to know that.
Exactly this. Manny v Floyd would still blow any fight out of the water in PPV sales. It will bring in many casuals and non-fans just because of their names and the history of it. These people don't even realise this fight isn't what it was 5 years ago from a boxing perspective. Put those two names together and the right promotion and it'll be just as big as it could have been. Cotto v Canelo won't stand a chance against this fight.
If Floyd fights any other fighter, it will be overshadowed by Cotto v Canelo and his stock will go down in terms of the big PPV star.
I don't think Floyd would be able to live his life hearing Pacquiao's name everyday. If Floyd doesn't fight Pac, anywhere he goes there will be someone asking why didn't he fight Pacquiao.
