I look at it this way, it will probably be a perfect last fight for Mayweather and Pacquiao.
How it will be hyped wise

Mayweather beat Marquez who was Pacquiao's rival, and Shane Mosley who was the lineal 147 champ.

Pacquiao just beat Cotto and Margarito, two people, that people like to say Mayweather ducked.

So therefore, if Pacquiao beats Mayweather, people can say he took apart the lineal 147 pound champ and best p4p in the world. And if Mayweather beats Pacquiao, they'll say he is greater because he beat the guy who decimated the two fighters people say he ducked.

So it's a win win for both, so the filler fights make sense. But only on the outside looking in as if it was a book.

But if knocking out Margarito in brutal fashion would deter Mayweather from fighting someone, he never would have took on Shane.
