Thread: What does the winner of Pac-man-Mayweather do afterwards?

I think we all know what Manny will do, fight the next guy in line. Another reason why he's so popular. Doesn't really seem to take a fight off. But what does Mayweather do if he wins? Fight the winner of Berto-Mosely? Retire? Is there anything left for him to do/prove if he wins this fight?

I think if the fight is remotely competitive there will be a rematch. If its one sided and Mosley wins the Berto fight the winner will face Mosley.

Manny might retire win or lose. Floyd will fight on.

I think Manny will just retire. I think he might be thinking about the wars he's been in and wants to have something left when he retires. If Mayweather wins, he waits to see who wins Mosley-Berto. If Mosley wins, he fights Shane, if Andre wins it depends on how much popularity he gets out of it. But after that fight I don't see where Mayweather goes. Maybe Cotto if he can rebuild himself.

shit themselves because Amir Khan looms on the horizon

All roads lead to Shane, no one can avoid him forever.

There is already a premise for this one. "Rematch"

A Split Decision or close win are the obvious.
But another obvious one is a controversy brews between Roach and Mayweather (Sr. or Roger) and a DQ happens...perhaps a hit on the break. A stoppage from a cut by a headbutt.

There are a number of possible scenarios that could play out. The temptation is far too great not to make play off any incident to create drama which would make an enormous gate even larger.

If Floyd wins he goes to a strip club and makes it rain. If Pac win he goes home to the Phillipines and gives away most of his money to freeloading Flips.

If Mayweather wins, he'll simply try to make it wait to the point where Shane is 100% shot. If Pacquiao Wins, let's see which clauses Roach asks for or if Pacman is not tempted to take a 2 years break to get involved into politics or something like that.

If Pacquiao wins without controversy, he retires. He'll have nothing more to prove. Only if he wins in controversial circumstances would a rematch with Mayweather be enough to tempt him back.

If Mayweather wins, he will have a rematch with Pacquiao if it's close enough or controversial, or he will fight Shane Mosley if he beats Berto. If Berto wins, he may fight him if there's enough hype around Berto from HBO (which I suspect there might be).

Only 1 guy left . . . .

Don't really see why everyone thinks Mosley will be a tough fight, yeah he looked good against Margarito but only the fight before that Mayorga was pretty close to beating him... not sure Shanes got that much left, I won't be surprised if Berto takes him...

I think its more because of the money that it represents which seems to be the only thing that drives fighters to fight each other these days, not mention Mosley is coming off a win over Margarito.

Roll around in piles of money with a big smile? Loser prob rolls around in piles of money too but just not as big a grin?

Pac may see mileage in the 3rd Marquez fight win or lose, especially if Marquez destroys Hatton.

Did you read what you just wrote? I know it helps a lot to win. The biggest guarantee ever was $25 Million that went to Oscar and these boys both are getting $20 Million guaranteed and then more piled on top of that. I can't see anything but grins on both faces....win and lose. Floyd for certain.
