    kind of a loaded question. If it were on network TV, HBO, or Showtime - SURE! But even at a PPV price - HELL NO!

      The fight was very one sided, a boxing masterclass from Floyd.

      No interest in a rematch at all.

        But the fight itself will still suck.
        Not casuals. I think they've already spoken.

          No need to overthink things.


          It would be ppv. They will swindle as much money from the public as can be gotten away with

            casuals would come back. The world awaits hosed the casuals .. as did Floyd canelo. These fools keep coming back expecting to see an actual fight. Lol.

            All hbo has to do is do a special playing up the injury angle and show Pac giving to charity. Then play a replay of Pac demolishing Cotto ect... and the casuals will be back just like that!

              Well yeah, they'll be back in a few years for the next big matchup. They won't be back in a few months for the rematch of a fight that fleeced them of a lot of bucks and offered no excitement.

                There's an article that they just put up claiming Pac had "successful surgery" from the same guy who fixed Kobe's shoulder/rotator cuff injury. But there are NO PICS out yet. Su****ious stuff.
                Even if the now old injury was legit, and he got surgery to fix it, it didn't affect his performance at all and so a rematch would likely be even more one sided for Floyd. Don't care for it.

                It had nothing to do with Pac being one armed, because he wasn't. He threw twice as many right hands as he did left hands for most of the fight, 22 right hands compared to 10 lefts in the 12th round for instance...but yeah, totally one armed fighter that didn't use his right after the fourth.

                Then at the end he throws his right arm up in celebration. Another clear sign of the great pain, lack of movement and limitation of his right arm....

                If it was injured, it was so minor that it made no difference to his performance and considering not a single person anywhere made any comment during the fight that Pac was favouring an arm, it's pretty ****ing obvious. Whenever someone injures an arm like they claim, it's clear as crystal what's happened because you see them visibly flinching in great pain (Pac never did), they stop throwing the arm in question (Pac threw more right hands after the fourth round, not less) and there is massive commotion in the corner trying to fix it (no one mentioned the arm once).

                So it's really simple. The loss would look exactly the same, if not worse, because Pacquiao wouldn't fight any different at all. He just couldn't do anything, because of Floyd's counters, distance, speed, timing and defense. Nothing to do with his arm, because apart from a fee let hands, his right hook and jab were by far his best weapon which he never stopped using.

                Biggest load of pathetic excuses I've ever heard come from one fighter for one fight, from his weak willed fans to his scum of a promoter.

                  Knowing Floyd, he'll most likely do a rematch just to erase any doubts. He's done this a couple of times already so I can see a rematch happening.

                    The fight was neither competitive nor compelling. I see no need for a rematch.
