Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Aims To Set Opponent By November/December

[IMDAZED]

The first fight...4.4 million people bought a $100 fight that was 5-6 years too late. I guarantee you that at least half would do it again,if not more. They could easily sell the 50-0 record breaking angle,or the fact that it's Pacquiaos last fight,or the whole thing that Pacquiao is "healed" and wants revenge. Point being,even if it doesn't make as much as the first fight,it would still pull ridiculous amounts of money.

2.2? Ok. So let's see:

2.2m PPV's guaranteed Floyd $40m and Canelo $8m.

So you think Pacquiao is taking $8m for a rematch? Or Floyd will come out of retirement for Guerrero money. Tell me.

Pacquaio will either fight Crawford or a rematch with Rios if he defeats Bradley. The talk about negotiation with Khan and Mayweather are nothing more than Bob Arum's typical smoke screen that comes right before the bait-and-switch.

How is it a bait and switch? You have the choice to buy or not after knowing who's fighting who. Its not like you pay for a fight ahead of time not knowing for sure whos gonna be fighting.

How much do you think a rematch sells?

I guess between 1.7 to 2.5


I would rather see mayweather/cotto 2

[MrRolltide91]

So we're back to throwing Mayweather's name around as a "potential" when you know damn well that's not happening.

The more things change.

lol at the end of the day, Floyd gon do what he gon do

Exactly. That's not enough PPV sales for those two to get the kind of money they're accustomed to. So unless someone takes a STEEP paycut (it won't be Mayweather), forget it. And why would it be worth it to Top Rank? In order for a rematch to happen, Pacquiao's going to have to beat a couple notable names beforehand in very impressive fashion.

in a perfect scenario manny should beat 2 top 10 welterweights and then have the mayweather rematch in 2017.

Floyd Jr vs Manny 2 in May i guess. I smell sometin' goin on and Khan's name again on the mix...

[Larry the boss]

I don't believe Pacquiao understand what he was being asked, similar to when he misunderstood and agreed he was sparring with Rigondeaux when asked. There are zero talks right now for a Mayweather rematch,

Not sure why these posters actually believe it is....They seem to be unable to just let it go

[aboutfkntime]

Eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao is in negotiations with Amir Khan to take him on in what would probably the final fight of his illustrious career, he said Thursday.

Speaking in Doha, where is visiting the AIBA World Boxing Championships, Pacquaio told AFP a final decision on who his last opponent will be, would be taken by "November or December."

The 36-year-old is on the verge of quitting boxing for politics and is likely to run for a seat in the Philippines' senate next May.

Cool ^^ although, I have very low expectations.

These are my thoughts.....

Earlier, both Arum and Pac stated that Manny had 3 more fights left.

I believe that to be the case.

The out-of-the-blue political announcement a few days ago, is just Bob Arum squeezing the last drop of milk from the Manny-cow.

They are trying to paint this as possibly Mannys last fight, so they can get away with an underwhelming opponent for Pacs "retirement" fight..... just like Mayweather did with Berto.

Could be wrong, but highly likely imo.

I dont trust a single word coming from that team.

[aboutfkntime]

I made my prediction right after his fight with Berto that Floyd would come back in September and my statement stands. Not sure if it will be rematch with Pacquiao, but I think the Cotto-Canelo winner is a huge possibility

?????

Pac has already refused to fight Cotto at 150.

And Canelo, are you serious ?

No chance, of either..... 0%.

Postol, or more of that Rios/Provo/Bradley/Vargas ****ery.

I say Postol or Vargas.
