Boxing: Pacquiao vs. Hatton

[kujay]

If I'm Floyd Mayweather Jr., I'd be asking for at least 50/50 split for a fight against Pacquiao because after watching this fight, I'd want no piece of him without a huge payday.

 

He would get at least 50/50. Don't they split purses based on projected draw of each fighter? Manny might be the better fighter (arguable), but there is no question that Mayweather is a bigger PPV draw in the U.S.

 

From what I read the other day, Mayweather will fight JMM in July to set up for the mega-fight. I would guess it would be in early December.

mayweather is a bad matchup for pacquiao. i would pick mayweather within 5, knowing pac's penchant for attacking. mayweather would catch him at a reckless point and send him back to neptune.

I would agree, even though I'm not really be the biggest of Mayweather fans. I'd love to see Pacquiao end his unbeaten streak, but I think Mayweather is the one guy who might just beat him. It might also depend on how intense Mayweather's training actually is, since he's been sorta retired and hasn't really had anyone as impressive as Pacquiao to fight in quite some time.

I'd like to see how he does against JMM after a 2 year layoff. Marquez is more than a tune up bout and if its a close victory for Mayweather I still see him ducking Pacquiao.

Why come back if he's going to punk out and refuse to fight Pac-Man. Who else is there to fight that would bring him a payday like that fight would? The only possibility would be a rematch with DLH, and that's not going to happen for multiple reasons, perhaps the biggest being that nobody would pay for it.

He ducked Cotto, Mosley, Valero, Marga-cheato...but yeah you're probably right. Pacquiao is the hot ticket now. I see the contract negotiations go on for a very long time.
