How many tune ups should floyd need to be ready for pac?

[S H A R K B O Y]

If Mayweather is fighting Ortiz as a tune up, it's a general tune up, it doesn't necessarily mean he's going to fight Pacquiao next. Martinez is a southpaw as well, he could very well be facing him after Ortiz.

Cotto is the only one I would accept, and even that's pushing it REAL hard

a couple more retirements...............a couple tune ups...........a couple more cherry picks

I sure hope floyd will think of new ones, the current excuses is losing its punch!

realistically, ortiz can be considered a tuneup and floyd can head straight to a pac fight next year if he's really interested.

schaefer already clarified that the ortiz fight is not leading to a pac fight for mayweather.

but realistically, ortiz can be a tuneup if floyd really wants the pac fight. pac is also fighting just about a month after the ortiz/may fight.

it is so phucking ripe and ideal to make the may/pac happen in 2012. if these promoters are really smart they could make both fights (ortiz/may + pac/marquez 3) even bigger by promoting them as leading to the biggest fight of them all -- may/pac fight.

it would seem even better to negotiate the pac/may fight NOW by saying WIN OR LOSE for both = may/pac in 2012. you know how it is when negotiating with a recent lose -- it's not pleasant.

that is if these boxers and their respective fights are really smart.

The Golden Egg "0" will not go, risk-free tune-ups brings in load of $$. Floyd's exploiting this lopehole very well and people will pay to see him fight tune-ups once every year with mannys name mention ONLY as an icing in the cake without facing him.

its never gonna happen. pac wont take random tests and mayweather wont drop that request. so how many tune ups mayweather has is irrelevant. if they aint gonna fight each other then they should retire now. whats the point if your not going to fight the best?

[shade darkar]

Superior in what? Ducking? He can only prove it if he could beat pac in the ring which is very unlikely to happen. But for now pac is much more superior to floyd, Pac is 8 division champ 4 lineal champ and fighter of the decade while floyd is only 5 division champ 3lineal.

no he isnt. since when does the IBO count!

Both Pac and Floyd has STAR power regardless of who they fight, people will still pay and see it.. until then retirement isnt an option.
