Thread: Pacquiao offered $65M to fight Alvarez in Mexico

Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim has offered $65 million to Pacquiao to fight in Mexico next year. While the opponent was not named, reports had said Slim was looking at Saul "Canelo" Alvarez as the likely opponent.

Report says that negotiation has started and that Pacquiao was interested in the guaranteed money.

I think this news report is more credible than the allegedly $65 milion offer to Mayweather Arum has revealed as the parties to the negotiation is mentioned.

The only issue is at what weight will they fight?

Pac & Arum might jump on that, probably a catchweight or perhaps welterweight.

Pacquiao seriously considering $65 million offer to fight Saul Alvarez in Mexico - Pittsburgh Fight Sports | Examiner.com

Go for it $65million!!!

i would take 65 mill to kick someones ass

If I remember correctly Cotto's brother actually wobbled Alvarez early in that fight. And then they put him in with Hatton who is another naturally smaller guy (and not a big puncher as well).

If the offer is legit, Pac needs to make this fight happen and take the huge payday.

Yeah, and it would have to be a much better than Pac's fight with Mosley. If this offer is for real, the $65 million won't be an issue for Mexico's Carlos Slim, he's one of the richest men in the world, with money to burn.
The real question is: what weight would these 2 fight at, making the welterweight limit might be a problem for Canelo, so chances are it would be for Canelo's 154 lb. trinket, but at a catchweight of perhaps 150. That's my guess.

If you're Carlos Slim why isn't THAT the fight you want? 130,000 at Azteca Stadium. JMM going for some fictional fourth belt/strap?

Nah. Enough with the catch weight bullshit. For 65 million he can fight at 154.

Amazing what having some trinket & connections will do for a guy. Both get rich, again, and Pac fans get to run on about being a *Infinity* number division champion if Alvarez has to put that thing on the line.

Pacquiao's $65 million offer from billionaire Slim will be explored, Arum says - National Boxing | Examiner.com

i really hope it pushes thru even though its a scary fight for Pac challenging this young Bull. for 65 mill its a win win situation imo.

And Alvarez fought back to back catchweight fights just recently both for titles. 1 for the prestigious silver light mw title and against the great Matthew Hatton for the regular WBC version.

There is no doubt Pac can still make 140 and be comfortable. Watch him ask for it.

I was just going to say the same thing VD. He would probably give Canelo 140, but not JMM.
