    It's also the biggest fight. Fighters should be expected to fight the biggest fights.

    Pacquiao chose Jeff Horn because of least risk not because it's the biggest fight.

    Pacquiao is still competing for honours in the sport of boxing and holds a world title. Mayweather isn't.

        Mayweather is willing to fight McGregor because it's the biggest fight, Pacquiao chose to fight Horn because it's the easiest. That's the difference. Deal with it.
        time will tell but MMA forums and buddies into the sport are calling it a sham and won't be tuning in.

          So why did Floyd fight berto? Why not Brook or Thurman.? Floyd neither fights toughest or biggest fights
          Why Ortiz, Guerrero, maidana?

            Brook was out injured after a machete attack, Thurman was signed to fight Collazo.

            Ortiz, Guerrero and Maidana were big fights. The biggest fight ducked him (afraid of needles, need 6 months cut to heal, outdoor stadium), lost in 2012 and had to build back up.

              Ha ha, no Brook wasn't injured when Floyd decided for berto. Ortiz, Guerrero and maidana weren't toughest or biggest fights available.
              Literally when everyone wants Floyd payday, you can fight anyone. Be it GGG, nelo at 154 or anyone

                Floyd, and his fans, can't cry about it after the fact.
                Sure, anyone would take the easy money, no one is criticizing him for that. But it will be a disgrace to the sport to take this fight as your 50-0 fight.
                I could care less as I won't be watching but I Floyd fans love to be the victims.
                Ali fought a football player and a wrestler while he was an active fighter.

                  no one is hyping the Pacquiao fight as a great fight. It's only a keep on busy fight, and besides to those who don't know. It's a free viewing fight. It's not on PPV. Unlike floyd's sham fight with Mcgregor who will charge you for 100 dollars of a circus borefest lmao

                  Bank robbery baby!!

Yet when a fight that is the very definition of EASY MONEY comes up, the same people come out in droves to cry about Floyd.

                    This whole saga has proven that Floyd is a BUSINESS GENIUS. People claimed he's not a great businessman, but look how much he's about to generate for toying that clown? He may even eclipse what he generated against Pac.

                    It seems like y'all only have an issue when fighters on the "coincidental list" make easy bread.
                    Show me proof it's the same people. Sounds more like something you made up.

                    And Horn is a real boxer. McGregor is not. Big difference even you should be able to see.

                      This is true, however, neither fight is listed for Ali on Boxrec. If Floyd wants this money grab, that's fine, but don't count it as #50
