Will be interesting to see if he can bounce back against Rios first. I think he may do a number on Brandon but Floyd is a whole other kettle of fish.

If Manny looks good against Rios I hope they fight. I always thought Floyd would win but now Im pretty certain he wins.Quote:

Like mentioned above, this ship has sailed. And I HIGHLY doubt Manny would agree to Floyd's terms now, because you better believe Floyd would demand a lion's share of the purse now. I'd be surprised if Floyd even agreed to 60/40.
When you get KTFO like that, you don't have a lot of bargaining power.
Floyd could even do a Fury and demand 80 - 20. :)
I don't think floyd could bargain that hard. It seems his ppv only do well when he fights well known fighters not just anyone. At least after the Guerrero if its true he didn't even break 1 mill
Manny must have lost alot of brains cells for him to talk like that.
It would be Floyd-Gatti all over again..
WEll, Floyd has alot of fights left in his contract and the list of opponents are getting short so might as well include Pac and get an easy win.
If that sad-sack-of-a-fight ever happens, it'll be the battle-of-coming-back-from-knockout-losses: Pacquiao from Marquez, and Floyd's impending KO loss when Alvarez lowers the boom.
Yep, you are truly an idiot...Quote:

You got boxing syndrome
Serious as a heart-attack.
Anyone that would say Gatti and Pacquiao would be the same kind of fight is a total idiot. Offense intended.
I liked gatti, but he was a 2nd tier kind of fighter, whereas the other guy is one of the best fighters I've ever seen, and I've been watching this $#!tty sport through the late 70s, the 80s, the 90s, the 2000s, and now the 2010s...
ic.. You are a novice
All those years is why I can realistically assess Floyd Mayweather's abilities and accomplishments and rate him as a very good defensive boxer, but not as a great fighter, son...
If he beats rios the chances of the fight happening are quite high i think. Floyd will want to keep on doing big numbers on ppv 60-40 split for floyd i think pacman would take that and hes already agreed to random tests for rios so he should be happy to do if for floyd.

It does not make a difference what the puppets want. Uncle Bob will keep Pacman tied up fighting his in house fighters until he is broken. We will not see this fight in this life time. I hope I'm wrong though because I still want to see it.
Dear boxing Gods in the Pantheon, for the love of that perfect left hook, let this conversation about Pacman vs Pretty boy End.
It's like that beautiful girl you had a crush on in high school suddenly grew up and had a sex change and now is called Billy. Let it end...let it end.
Freddy is also saying that Manny will retire if Rios knocks him out.

That would be pretty horrible to end your career being beaten by someone like Rios. Thankfully I can see the reverse being the much more likely outcome.

I can see what he means though. If Manny can't hang with and beat someone who was outboxed by Alvarado then his mojo has truly flown and there is nothing to gain by carrying on flattering lesser fighters and inflating their records. I think judging by the first few rounds of his last fight he has a couple of fights left in him and he should be ok. Then he should rematch Bradley to erase that judging anomaly before retiring on a big one. We won't really know until he fights Rios.Quote:
