      Many people felt cheated out in the original match due to the lack of action. I'm not convinced that they're silly enough to think manny can become Maidana
      I agree.

      They couldn't give that **** away the second time around.

        It would likely be the highest grossing fight of next year by a pretty wide margin. It would fall off but they can still manufacture some intrigue and sell the fight.

          Bob Arum would too, and by that I mean he would order Pac/Bradley IV. Makes about as much sense as Pac/Bradley III.

          He'll find a way to be like "We haven't seen THIS Pac-Bradley doe".

            People here underestimate the star power of pacquiao and mayweather. It's true that some casuals are pissed because the fight was boring but they would still get ****** up in the end.

                    And just think if Floyd chose to play the villain one last time........This is till the biggest fight in boxing the only thing close would maybe be FLoyd/GGG and thats if the public buys into GGGs monster aura

                      It will definitely need promotion.
                      The first fight promoted itself.
                      There was no multi-city tour, and Floyd was absolutely silent.
                      Floyd is a master promoter, and if he wanted to, he could trash talk this into a +2 mill PPV sell.
                      Say what you want, but Floyd's stoicism during the first fight buildup was due to him respecting the threat that Pac posed.
                      Now? He'd be confident as hell, and you'd get a proper promotion.
                      Floyd's 50th, both guys retirement fight, pac's shoulder question angle, Floyd's IV question angle, etc...

                      They could sell the fight if they wanted to.
