    I really don't see a point to the rematch. When has anyone ever wanted to see a rematch?

    I don't recall.

      I didnt think so.

      If Floyd had a history of cherry picking the easiest Champ in every division, you would have a point. As it is, you are just talking ****. Cotto is the MW Champ and no Im not sure GGG or Quillin beat him. They might, but I dont give credit to boxers for things they havent done.

      Fighting Cotto is a challenge. Fighting at 160 is a challenge. All we want is for these guys to challenge themselves. Those are the facts. So if Floyd doesnt fight Pac, that in and of itself would be disappointing. But him fighting Cotto at 160 isnt.

      If you know of a better option B for Floyd then say it.
      Again, have all the fighters in history had the same chances to have one of four belts? Yes or no? Its not just as simple as asking, "who else has done this?". When you ask a question like that, many variables have to be taken into consideration. So lets start with that. Have all fighters in history had the same chances to win one of four belts to be called champion?

I'm sure it would make good business for Showtime and Mayweather but I wouldn't be all that psyched; although admittedly I'd probably be all into it as the fight draws near. But like everyone else, I want to see Mayweather face Pacquiao. Two more fights left in his career (supposedly) and this should be one of them. I think both fighters want it. Now it's up to the negotiators to make it happen with no excuses.
        This, is consistency.

            The best fights I've ever seen, had nothing to do with PPV. So what is your point about ppv?

Leave the money aspect out of it unless you're his manager or promoter. As a fan, did you want to see this rematch back then, or just now?
              It's his second best option not solely from a financial stand point, it's a challenging fight as well and it'd be for the lineal title. I've known you long enough, you used to put me on ignore because you could never debate me. Collectively it isn't solely gonna be for financial reasons only, don't play ****** with me.

                Also I would like to add the fight would be even more one sided this time round because flody always does better in a rematch

                  Mayweather-Pacquiao is the fight every single Mayweather fan wants, but if Arum or Koncz block that fight, a fight vs. Miguel Cotto for the lineal MW title would give Floyd a lucrative plan B with huge historical relevancy.

                  I want to see Mayweather-Pacquiao in May and then the Cotto-Canelo winner in September at MW.

                    Khan is the 2nd best option, not Cotto someone who Floyd already beat. Gtfo

                      Its challenging? Since when is it challenging when you have the guy winning 9-3, 10-2? If you're going to go the lineal route, why didn't Floyd fight Martinez? Sergio was more than willing to fight. I put you on ignore because you're annoying, not because I can't debate you.
