    FLoyd is 40.
    If he was some 30 he'd kick Crawford the new Hype of TR real quick.

      I'm surprised Floyd isn't calling for Crawford now tbh. Such an easy fight for Floyd.

        Neither as they both are employed by TR and nether would generate enough interest for his return 50th fight.

        If it was the 49th fight, he'd fight Crawfor because that fight would generate far more interest.

          History shows probably Vargas, I.e berto, Ortiz, Guerrero type level guys.

            I'm not sure about more money.. I would say floyd-crawford would have a better chance of breaking 1mil... A vargas fight would probably be on par with the ghost Guerrero fight, maybe lower.. Just like how vargas-manny would do lower numbers than manny-crawford.. Crawford is viewed as the heir apparent, vargas is not

              lol Mannys career wasnt based on Floyd Mayweather lol! Im no manny fan but thats funny. If anything both helped each other by piggy backing off one another at some point in their careers. Floyd just did WAY better financially so I guess you can say he won the war and battle but dont discredit what another man did. Besides this thread was in no intention a marketing ploy for Top Rank or Manny F'n Pacquaio. I could careless how many PPVs either guy sells, they dont give **** to me, have done nothing for me or I seriously doubt either ever will. Im not rich or poor so I dont need to ride on either of these men. With that said my point of this thread was to get a rough idea of what people think, Manny had a small option of fighters to choose from you yourself have been vocal as to saying it was going to be in house Top Rank so if Team Mayweather had the same small opponent options, who do you think hed choose? People are big on discrediting others around here but fail to look in the limelight.

                actually history shows he has beaten the highest ranked fighter other than himself in every division he fought in.

                  The whole point of this topic is to make Floyd look as bad as Manny when Floyd has absolutely nothing to do with Manny fighting Vargas. You aren't happy with the Vargas pick. You feel it's a cherry pick. So you have to say Floyd would do the same thing. That's how you somehow justify Manny picking Vargas over Crawford.

                  I'm a bigger fan of Floyd than I am of Pacquiao but I have no problem with this pick. I'd rather see him fight Porter or Thurman but I understand the way the politics are it can't happen right now. But it's a better pick than Canelo vs. Smith

                    In no way was this to make Floyd look bad, its just saying if he had the same options who do u think his team would choose. I like the Manny vs Vargas fight, as a big TC fan I didnt want to see him vs TC because I see it as a lose lose situation for him. I think his skill will bring him to the forefront, not beating an old Pacquiao. On the other hand I am a vargas fan too and although I see it as somewhat of a losing situation Vargas would gain more from a Pacquiao win. 2 different points of their careers, basically Vargas needs it more.

                    ANd yeah we would all love to see all these WW's get it on which is sorta my point, they all have limited choices, Haymon Im sure isnt to thrilled about doing business with Arum and vice versa. So with that, Pacquaio chose the best option for his career. IDK why people are ****ting on him or Vargas really when given the same choices to others, Vargas would be their choice too. Pretty hypocritical dont you think?

                      But why link Manny to Floyd? That's why I say Manny's career will forever be linked to Floyd. Why not ask what would Garcia do. Or what would Ward do.
