    No, but it does signify a very unique hurdle within the sport that has to be overcome. If we can no longer get the 2 best fighters in the world to get in with eachother it sets a very negative precedent for the sport to come in the future years

    However much we wanna sugar coat it the ufc is on boxings coat tails especially in the U.S just waiting for us to mess up every time. If we are no longer able to make the dream matches then eventually boxing will die out amongst the masses

    I'd like to think that Boxing is capable of charting it's own path.

    I think it's the unexpected classics that can go a long way to keep the sport healthy.

    I honestly don't think we should regard ANY Mayweather fights as classics. If anything, a fight with Pacquiao could wind up being a huge let down

    Then what?

    Never a true'er word written !

    Picture this, Pacman catches Floyd early in the fight, Floyd then shit's himself and goes on his bike for 12 rds potshotting, hardly a spectacle for the masses is it

    I don't even know why I am dignifying "hattonthehammer" with a response here, but here goes.


    You are a dipsh*t. Who cares if Pacquiao fights or not? I'm sure he'll find a good opponent to thrash in the meantime. With any luck Mayweather will lose, and we'll get to see two fighters fight. Mosley-Pacquiao would be good for boxing. All fights are good for boxing. What was the point of this post, again?

    Listen to what im saying retard before commenting

    Im not saying by any means pacquiao and mayweather would be a classic fight. If anything it`ll probably stink the house out. But as ive mentioned its the precedent it sets that even in the exact same division we cant get the 2 recognised p4p greats to fight eachother.

    And no he wont continue fighting just for the sake of it, that i can quote from freddie roach. Had you of actually taken the time to see the road to dallas HBO special freddie clearly talks about his fears this could be pacs last ever fight because he is running for office in a few months time and he sure as hell isnt going to go through the grueling process only to immidiately give that post up to become a full time boxer once again.

    Im not saying floyd-mosley isnt a live fight. Heck im even tipping mosley to oust mayweather. But the fact remains that if floyd is succesful then theres only fight left for pacquiao to prove his true greatness

    Maybe you haven't heard of Fedor Emelienenko? And Brock Lesnar being sick for months unable to defend the HW title he won with a record of 3-1-0... Why should Anderson Silva fight Forrest Griffin instead of a real contender @LHW? How does GSP make Welter every time? Why is his only challenge BJ Penn a man fighting 15lbs light than he? Why are all these PPV for UFC second rate fighters?

    You are blaming problems with boxing that are across the board in the fight business. I think it's the promoters, multiple belts, and fighters willingness to accept being paper champs rather than real men. If boxing fails it will be for these 3 reasons. I don't see boxing going anywhere but on people's TVs for the next couple decades. There will always be real champs out there, and bollocks if you can't recognize who they are.

    UFC can promote a ppv around 8-9 solid world title matchups. With boxing the main event is all or nothing, a ufc main event can differentiate if one fight doesnt go down the main undercard fight simply becomes the main event. You dont buy a mayweather-mosley ppv for daniel jacobs or saul alvarez.

    theres your answer to that

    The whole scene is setup perfectly for mayweather to dodge pacquiao
    Pac would still have options, even if you think PBF is dodging (and I don't). Willaims appears eager for a fight at welter and Pac taking him on would be a rahter brave move (perhaps a win-win, becase even if he loses, the reach/height differential would provide a mitigating circumstance, like it did with Duran/Hearns).

    He could also make an offer to Mosley, who appears to want to take on all comers, and throw a wrench into the rematch.
