Why does Floyd scared to rematch Pac for all the money and legacy that comes with it?

[Larry the boss]

Floyd just fought Conor Mcgregor for more or less the same money that he could get in a rematch with Manny. Did floyd lack money to need a fight with conor? No. it's because it's a good choice--an easy fight--easy money. If there is another easy fight for a 100 million we would see floyd again. Not a bad decision to be honest.

And Manny chased the same easy money man....Hell Alot of boxers chased that easy money..Floyd doesnt want to box any real boxers anymore..Manny just needs to save his money and enjoy his life..no reason he should be having to take hard fights at his age after all he has given to the sport

That money is not there in a rematch, nobody will pay that money for a rerun of the first fight, don't worry about a handful of fanboys on here, the world seen Manny and all his promises flunk out they wont buy it again.

In my view they could have reach the same Mcgregor like pay per view with a rematch 'before Conor Mcgregor happened', but today I don't think so--time passes, they could still probably do a million though tops but it's not worth the risk of 50-0. The fight of the century will never be topped again in terms of money pot in our lifetime that's for sure. Floyd in the end had chosen the best direction economic wise-he managed to maximized whatever profit he could get out of his talent-he is now well prepared to face the burdens of the world. That's enough for me.

Yes both of them chased easy money which is not a bad idea. You're better off prepared in the future when you're out of boxing than not.

All i'm saying is people need to stop blaming Floyd because Manny has to keep fighting...I remember the jokes of Floyds IRS issues..Now they are silent when Manny has that issue with 0 big fight options!!!

Its got nothing too do with risks for Floyd he will beat Pac any time anywhere throughout their careers its just a bad stylistic match up for Manny.

Floyd will not step in the ring again for less than 100mill and that's not going to happen for a Manny rematch because the majority of people world wide that seen the match know the outcome already, Mannys beating Floyd bubble was popped he was reduced to being able to do nothing, as I said don't count a handful of fanboys in here World wide the fight is done and dusted.

Larry its the same handful of ******s it represents nothing but a minority of jilted Manny fanboys squawking like crows on a fence, the vast majority of the losers have disappeared and moved on.

I'll tell you the truth.

He is not scared at all. Pacquiao is just a very very very hard fight that's all--he is a lot to deal with to be honest. The same reason why Marquez would rather choose to travel to the remote island of Indonesia to fight for 30k than to fight him for millions and did it again by turning down 100 million for the fifth fight because he wanted to 'keep the feeling'. Pacquiao is a lot to deal with and whatever price is there to win against him, it's not gonna be a grab and go thing, he will really make you earn it.


The tough part of fighting pacquiao is that if you can't knock him out cold, you're most likely to lose by decision or end up with a controversial win just because he has the right work rate which comes with all-time great accuracy and timing. Everything you could do best, he could mimic and do it as well. His defense is underrated but really if he want to, you can't really hit him--that's what floyd realized it was so hard to hit pacquiao when he is mindful of his defense even when he is on attack mode. Very lucky that the judges wasn't able to catch up on that. It was in fact floyd that's missing a lot in that fight not just paquiao but his reputation supersedes the perception that if the style of the fight is his style he should win.

So it goes back to the question, why risk 50-0 for a 100 million fight when you could possibly build an empire brand using it as a foundation? Understand 50-0 is not just a number for floyd--it's the be all and end all. Personally, I would advise floyd to keep away from pacquiao at all cost same thing with Marquez. It's probably best to just 'keep the feeling'

If Floyd's feeling is not being scared, based on what you have mentioned. It's FEAR of losing, which is similar to being scared.

Losing to a live dog with a fixed rotator cuff Pacquiao is a tall order for any man. This fight can reach half the 4 million buys plus PPV buys in the first fight, which probably hovering around 2million PPV. Not to mention, they are still the most popular boxing icons in the world, there will be global PPV revenue from all corners of the world. That 100 million is a no brainer to easily achieve for 12 round of boxing. But as you said, risking it with a Pac is a tall order. Floyd couldn't even handle a one armed Pac with all those IVs he stuck in his arm. He knows there won't be any USADA testing to save his ass this time. If there will be a fight. It will be VADA. NO PEDs in this fight. Which, definitely will be harder for him to survive 12 rounds of Pacquiao even if he keeps on running and hugging around the ring. Pac will eventually catch him, especially with no more EPO to give him that Lance Armstrong stamina to dance all night.

Yup Floyd should just keep that controversial win than to risk a real fight with Pacquiao than lose that 0 for good. Smart move for Floyd.

Some Fighters look for fortune. Some fighters are all about Legacy. Floyd is not for the latter. NO risk takers can be true Legends of the game.

These greats have legendary rivalries.

Floyd Patterson vs. Ingemar Johansson
Duran has SRL trilogy
Marvin SRL 1 and 2
Michael Carbajal vs. Humberto Gonzalez
Rid**** Bowe vs. Evander Holyfield
Muhammad Ali vs. Ken Norton
Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier
Micky Ward vs. Arturo Gatti
Tony Zale vs. Rocky Graziano
Marco Antonio Barrera vs. Erik Morales
Pac Morales 1 and 2
Pac Barrera 1 and 2
Pac Marquez 1-4
Pac Bradley 1-3

AND YET...

Floyd has none of these great rivalries to be proud off. Risky business is not part of his portfolio. Just is. We are right. He wasn't born for a rematch. Too risky for him.
