- Pac is fighting Cotto again to rebuild the image he had after he fought Cotto the first time (the time pac-floyd would have been at it's best).
- Floyd will fight Canelo, an undefeated yet untested and possibly the safest yet most acceptable fight for him to take.
- Pac destroying Cotto faster than last time and Floyd dismantling Canelo will give the super fight back the lustre it once had 2 years ago.
This is how things will pan out this year, mark my words, no superfight in May but it will be signed for Nov.
I like Pacquiao to beat Cotto at 150, and I like Mayweather to beat Canelo...but again, that just means that they BOTH have to win in order to keep the superfight attractive.
If one of them loses, I hope the other does too. It'd be like giving them a big **** you for having a fight stall for so long.
And it sounds ignorant, I know but a BIG part of the attraction of the superfight is Pacquiao getting a shot to fight an undefeated Mayweather and pop his cherry. A lot of that goes out the window if Mayweather were to lose.
So your theory, while plausible, should be taken with nothing more than a grain of salt. We've seem this more than half a dozen times. It's either one or the other. They should fight each other...NOW...in MAY before the soup rots.

Originally posted by mesher View PostYes but now until Nov is heaps of time to build the fight, Floyd's not going to solitary confinement, he's going to county jail. He can begin his training inside if he doesn't get out early on good behaviour and then resume as normal once out.... Floyd/Pac late November 2012, it's going to happen.

Sounds possible, but what would really assure us the fight goes down for real this time in November? What if by that time they start having more roadblocks, and once again we don't get the stupid mega fight (which is an overrated fight in itself, just want it to happen and be done). I'll pass on Cotto-Pacquiao II, would be much better if Pacquiao was fighting Bradley. I don't mind Canelo-Mayweather though, but I can't imagine Golden Boy would be stupid enough to throw Canelo to the wolves this early.

Give you a perfect example: Floyd makes every PUBLIC effort to push for the fight, and when Pac finally states publicly YES!!! I agree, all I want is a 50\50 split and May 5th is on -- then out of the clear blue sky, Floyd goes into ego-mode and wants more of a percentage than Pac. Now what the **** is that .... how can you push like never before for a fight where both will take home over 60million and then undermine all your efforts by asking for a unrealistic split????
This is nothing more than a fan-mind-**** to continue boosting sales of non-relevant fights. And the fans have unwillingly hopped on-board for the ride.
Another reason this idea is flawed is what happens if Cotto KO's Pac by accident or {insert name here} beats Floyd ????????
If this isn't a likelihood, then we will be witnessing FIXED fights to ensure neither fighter loses their next bout.
That's the only way to guarantee nothing interferes with the PLAN. FIXED FIGHTS until the mega-fight can be made.

If this is correct everyone should avoid paying for both fights. Send a message that nothing less than a mega fight will do.
