Re: Pacquiao lowers share; fight likely
that as bad as claiming Pac put on a shit showing last time out to get Floyd to finally fight him ;D

not quite the same thing... Plus Margarito's chin is used to being hit not many have the speed to get to Floyd's but when they do he gets hurt... DLH, Mosley... hell even Zab and Hatton early doors.
Floyd is great and not only at boxing but the fine art of when to hand pick his fighters ;)
This is a great fight because anything could happen... Floyd could counter all night and KO manny or run like he did against the legend that is Baldomir :-\ nicking a points victory.
I just feel Manny has the Speed to connect and the workrate to sustain it and the power to KO him... i really see Floyd having a rabbit in the headlights look if this fight ever even happens. :)

I'd like to believe that Pac vs. Floyd would be competitive. Floyd would certainly have to be the favorite, but I just don't see him being able to dominate Pacquiao, who's got speed to burn, and throws punches in bunches.
This sounds somehow vaguely familiar ;)
Please expand on your comment. :-X

Look I asked for less money and everything... How was I to know he was in court today? I'd have never said anything if I'd known!"
Translation: yipee... With floyd out of the way I can fight marquez again and make some dough... I just hope he finally gets old like I was hoping last time
(whether you think that was meant to be bob arum talking or pacman is up to you... Depends if you actually give pac credit for the decisions that get made... Personally I don't, he's 'just doink my yob, talk to my promoter, bob arum')
:rolleyes:
that was a week ago when pacquiao said it. it's not like he already knows floyd would be sentence to some jail time. besides, the lower purse thing is being blown out of proportion. he didn't actually come out and make an official announcement, he was being asked a question about making the mayweather fight and he answered "no problem at all even if i get the smaller purse, what's important is we can make the fight". it was all in passing, then nick giongco of manila bulletin took what pac said, played it up and made it his story which foreign boxing media then picked up.
if you're going to play hidden agenda, think about floyd already knowing his plea deal on the case when he called out pacquiao for cinco de mayo.
Re: Pacquiao lowers share; fight likely
There was a fighter named James Scott who beat quite a few people from behind bars just before Eddie Mustapha Muhammad became light heavyweight champion. Eddie lost a decision. So maybe par per view is on to something here. Vultures gotta eat too.
