frontrowbrian - this would be the definition of a dream match. 2 all time greats in their PRIME fighting. Usually when 2 guys with their type of legacy fight, one is usually on the backend of their career.
Roy and Bhop won't be fighting any time soon...probably never again. Bhop wants 60-40. Roy suggested 60-40 with winner taking 60 but Bhop wanted no part of it. Roy was even open to winner take all. Bhop is scared of Roy and doesn't want to lose to him again.
The only issue I see with Mayweather-Pacman is that it wont draw as big without a hispanic fighter. Hispanics have been carrying boxing for years now and without a hispanic fighter, it won't do as big of PPV numbers. Still a dream matchup that I won't miss, though.
JayKay - No way PBF takes this fight without making sure PacMan has a huge disadvantage.
He's already at a huge disadvantage.
The enormous gap in skill and technique between the two of them.
This fight should be at 147, for the belt, and Mayweather should get a 60/40 split.
Manny and his people are calling out Mayweather. Manny wants to fight with the big boys at WW. He shouldn't get any technical concessions. I don't think the last fight should have been at 145, to be honest.
They should keep it real and make it a 60/40 split to the winner. will never happen though.
DaddyRich - They should keep it real and make it a 60/40 split to the winner. will never happen though.
Love the idea but yes your right will never happen.
as for bhop v RJJ assuming both win their upcoming fights I think their slated to face each other in march of 2010.
kungfucrew - i read somewhere else that mayweather is already asking for 65-35. he's such a duck.
That's ridiculous if true
Mayweather will also no doubt insist on 147.

Great Post
Mayweaduck will make sure this does not happen by ridiculous demands
if this is happening
HOOOOOOOOOOORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
I really don't have much to say except this is awesome.
CRBMoney14 - Mosley/Berto too which is happening in January
OOOOOO now thats a fight!!!
There are plenty of good boxing matches to be had.
The super six going on right now is awesome!
There are good fighters in each division
Hopefully the pacman fans bet big money and make better odds for logical folks.
orcus - Mayweather will also no doubt insist on 147.
As well he should.
Manny is good enough now that the doesn't need to weight drain every boxer he fights. If they're fighting for a welterweight belt then let them fight at the welterweight limit.
Why not at 140 if PBF is fighting above his weight like he claims (bullshit claim IMO).

Drain every Boxer he fights?!?! What a totally ignorant Comment
biggest fight in terms of money in the history of the sport

De La Hoya had to drain himself horribly, and Cotto was forced to come in at 145 instead of 147.
That needs to stop. If you want to fight at welterweight then respect the established limit, no more catchweight fights.
making the deal would be huge news. this is just speculation.

These fighters want to fight Pac and they agree too because they want to test themselves against the fighter that is P4P the best, unfortunately he is very small, although he has come up in weight considerably and kicked all thire asses...he ain't putting a gun to anyone's head.
