I think Fox is should push hard for Spence vs Pacquiao Cinco de Mayo in Vegas

That would be huge of course, but I have a hard time seeing Pacquiao going for Spence (or Crawford or Porter). His legacy is established and 2019 was a ****er for him. It would make sense to me for Pac to avoid that very top tier and work on clearing out a few fighters lower in the top 10.

That being said - obviously Spence-Pacquiao would be huge, and a great fight for fans.

When Spence was asked when he was coming back he said April or May. I think Fox will try to go hard for that fight. There's not a bigger fight out there. Canelo vs Saunders or Smith got a Texas or L.A. feel. That's not a Vegas fight. Not even a PPV if we're being honest. Maybe even over in the UK because it won't make much money here. I think Fox should go for that date with Spence vs Pacquiao. A good fight.

There's a reason you aren't a matchmaker. You're not considering that THE FACE OF BOXING is MEXICAN and fights on the 2 biggest BOXING DATES that are also MEXICAN. You would bankrupt FOX after 2 fights with your brilliant planning.

Canelo is not Floyd. Floyd is the king of the Mexican holidays.

Vegas is looking for the fight that brings in the most money. They don't care if the fighter is Mexican, Black, White or whatever. Pacquiao vs Spence brings in more money that Canelo vs which ever eurobum he picks.

Didn't you say Canelo vs Charlo was being discussed. That'd be huge in Texas

Vegas IS looking for the biggest fight indeed but FOX would NOT attempt to compete with CANELO. As I said, you would bankrupt any network in 2 fights with your brilliant date and matchmaking selections.

Yeah, great idea! Go head to head against the guy who sold 1M+ in his last 3 PPVs before moving to DAZN.

Spence needs a tune up and to look his old self 1st. I don't want excuses if Pacquiao beats him. I like Spence but I think Floyd and Manny are levels above this class so they can still beat these top guys at an old age. Seeing Manny beat up Keef was hilarious. The only bad thing is the morons thinking it elevates Manny over Floyd when Floyd was, is, and always will be better than Manny.

i agree that spence going right after a big dog is an unnecessary risk....

its not that crazy....

DAZN delayed canelo/kovalev to bend to a UFC fight....i know it was a big UFC fight ....but the pacquiao name still packs a punch....if canelo is fighting someone like callum smith or bjs on DAZN...and pac is fighting spence on ppv the ppv might actually be the bigger deal
