Yep, just like the days when guys Sugar Ray Leonard and Mayweather also made requests.
Stop being so bitter.

No clause, no 1st fight

well yes but those fights had good reasons for them happening. all the marquez fights were razor close. bradley got an official win over pac and pac wanted to set the record straight. he beat up cotto so the only reason to fight him again would be to prove he could beat him at a different weight or without a catch weight. not very compelling to me. its like floyd fighing maidana twice and canelo only once. canelo is better right? he only fought him once because he clearly won even though it was in cowardly fashion

I've read this excuse before.
Had Pac not be a complete bltch about Cotto (who wanted Cotto to come down to WW after he had already moved up

) I would have ignored the clause demand.
Pac's bltch moves with May, who I'm sure you hate.
Pac vs a depleted and shot DLH (''DLH'' was the slight favorite, though''...even though DLH was far removed from his ww days

). Brave Pac let DLH be a full WW.......
Was brave enough to move up vs Margarito but no one else.

Don't get me started

It's still somewhat early to be honest. He's got senate duties and is probably going to wait until the new year to make the announcement.

Pac faught JMM for 2 reasons....
Need for closure
JMM is a stylistically appealing opponent for Pac
I'm sure Pac was thinking ''I will eventually KO him.''
Pacbois love to state how close he was to ending JMM.

May got to DLH at DLH's weight.
May moving up vs a bigger guy = clause
Pac moving up vs a bigger guy = clause
Fair n square

May vs Maidana was close enough

We will not see a Pac vs Horn redo, will we ?
Pac straight up refused Cotto rematch unless Cotto jumped through those hoops again.

I can't make you not like Pac and you can't make me like him.

No one is going to pass up a Pac paycheck. If the guy can blink his eyes, he will try and get in the ring with Pac.....and Pac won't mind a damn bit

Maybe a tough WW opponent like Mikey G will do the trick........

Extremely much better than fighting MMA and 100lbs kick boxer...
