Look at you bringing money. You sure you're not GhostofMoneyMayweather.

Only a fool would WANT to pay for a PPV fight when they can watch it for free.

Feel free to start naming the fighters that ended up on ESPN after they fought Mayweather. We will be waiting for your list.

Man it was a joke. Relax. We all know ESPN is where boxing greats end their career.

I actually like the idea of boxing on free TV. I said it a few days ago (before this was announced) that this fight should be on ESPN.

The one question everyone is asking themselves: Is Manny really that ******, that broke, or does Arum have some serious dirt on him?

How do you go from getting over $100 million for one fight to fighting on ESPN just two years later??? I'd say #3, though I can't rule out #1 either.

I think it has been established that the Floyd-Manny fight is a case of stars aligning. For Floyd to "sustain" that level of payday, he's had to put on a freakshow of a fight. After Conor is dealt with, it'll be back to retirement for Floyd - and if not, back to reality and smaller paydays. Because there's nothing else to pull out of the bag.

While fighting Jeff Horn is an extreme turnaround...**** it. He's earned his cash. He's won his belts. He can do whatever the hell he wants now. At the very least, he's getting a holiday in a beautiful country.

yeah, that Floyd vs Manny fight was the pinnacle for both, after that fight Floyd fought Berto and nobody gave chits, it did 300k buys apparently but SHo never released numbers, the numbers were very low, from 4.6 million buys to 300k, and the arena wasnt even sold out for Floyd vs Berto and the weigh in was drastically smaller.

Floyd knows he needs Conor to sell, a rematch with Pacquiao wont even do 1 million buys

If the first fight was action packed it would do big bucks, but it was so boring and people dished 100 bucks and felt robbed for a sparring session.

This is wonderful news! I'll be tuning in!

If Manny fights and beats Crawford later this year then a MayPac rematch is absolutely on the table, and possibly for big money.

LOL Pacquiao will never beat Crawford, let alone get passed Jeff Horn. Horn hits like a mule, this is the first time Pacquiao is facing a legit puncher at 147.

I gotta admit I'm pretty cool with this!! Might turn into something nice, and possibly long term.

This is manny's natural place, he's no longer riding Floyd's coattails.
