Pacquiao vs Thurman is a passing of the torch fight.

[DaNeutral.]

Thurman looks every bit as shot as Pacquiao.

[The Big Dunn]

I believe that Manny isn't going to retire until he gets thoroughly beaten. Him facing the top young talent will facilitate this and generate some major interest. However, will a Floyd vs Manny rematch be able to sell much? I know I won't buy it.

I think it all depends how well the Manny/Thurman PPV sales are. I think we all realize PPV sales are bottoming out. What was a ceiling of around 750k-1mil for Manny for a fight like this will now be about 500k.

If PBC there is still heavy casual interest for Manny and this exceeds the ceiling, then you have to look at "striking while the iron is hot". Casual fans might then want the rematch. You know the Manny fans will be convinced he can win.

I don't know if shot is the right term. I think he has extreme ring rust. Coming back against a live dog wasn't wise.

I'm a Manny fan, but I believe the guy is done and Floyd has been out of the game because he's done. A rematch would certainly be at least as bad as the first "fight", and more likely worse. A victory by Manny at this point would be worthless.

I disagree. Manny wins then he either fights Spence or Floyd next. I assume Spence but if this fight were to somehow do north of 600k PPV's (I predict 400-450k) and Manny wins then my guess is Floyd comes back because that would project the rematch would sell enough so Floyd can make his 9 figure payday.

A Manny win would make him at least another $50 mil as either the A side to Spence or the B side to Floyd.

If Floyd comes out of retirement for that fight. I will go out of my way to give everybody free streams (allegedly) so they don't have to pay for that B/S.

I was only speaking from a financial standpoint.

LOL'd at allegedly.
