Pac-De La Hoya, What if?

[pacfan]

I read somewhere Roach saying pac won't be able to go down to 135lb. But I heard someones else, though less reliable than Roach, who said pac could still fight at 135. I noticed on his latest workout pics, he has considerable 'bulked up' I mean not with the usual fatty mass but with real muscles so I doubt he can comfortably go back to 135. He'll probably be fighting at around 140. So if Hatton does a decent job on his coming fights, he'll probably be one of the first targets on pac's radar screen.

If Manny wins, then a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight is the biggest money fight out there.

If it doesn't work out, then a fight against Hatton would be an interesting alternative. He wouldn't make as much money against Hatton, but it'd be a much easier fight than fighting Floyd would be.

If Manny can actually beat ODLH, the Mayweather would DEFINITELY happen. HBO would shell out all of the 2009 budget just for that fight alone. The current P4P #1 vs. the true P4P #1. The card would be named "Pound For Pound." Quite honestly, winning this fight could propel Manny into two 20 Million dollar fights against Hatton and Mayweather in 2009. It's just that Manny beating ODLH seems so tough that I'm not even gonna think about those fights; which actually are much better than the ODLH fight.

If Pac wins then he will have to choose between Hatton, Mayweather, and Marquez IMO.

I think another immediate Marquez fight will delayed because they don't want to make a transition from 147 to 135 right away.

If Hatton wins, then a fight with Pacquiao would be very possible, if he loses, then it's down the drain.

Pac and Roach only took this fight at welterweight because De La Hoya is old. I doubt they will want to stay at this weight and fight the in his prime, rightful champion in Mayweather. I just think they'll get lured into the fight because it would be a massive fight. Pacquiao also seeks the legacy cemeting fights and Mayweather would be just that challenge.

But like I said before, all this hypothetical talking is IF he beats De La Hoya. The picture changes if he loses.

Pac can only get bigger like it or not, win or lose.

If hatton is an option floyd is also, win or lose.

Dec 6 sets up a huge 2009-2010 year for the big money makers in boxing.

I'm saying Hatton is the most likely because the economy here in the states is slow, probably alot more money to be made in Europe right now. I don't think this fight will be as big as Mayweather ODLH, mainly because the economy, but the matchup brings in a 2 huge fanbases, so maybe....

Pac wins he will fight Mayweather or drop down to fight Hatton.

If he looses he will drop down and fight JMM.

ODH wins he will fight Hatton or Arce

[mnmc10]

He said he's calling it quits in 2010 cause he announced he will be running that year.

I guessing a $75 buy on PPV $85 for HD PPV, maybe more.

[hackey]

If Pac wins he'll fight Mayweather. If he loses, he'll fight Hatton and the winner will fight Mayweather, on the provision that hatton gets past Paulie tonight.
