Good job on the links, thanks...
As far as I can remember there was already a plan for PAC to fight David Diaz even before the PAC-JMM rematch fight... JMM was just lucky he was given a chance by PAC to have a rematch even if PAC had already problems making 130 lbs... Arum planned to monopolized the PAC-Diaz fight since both boxers are under his promotions...
By fighting Diaz, PAC earned his 5th division title and also got considerable amount of money in the process... I think PAC also earned $6M in the Diaz fight...

PAC is guaranteed to earn at least $3M in that fight...

$6M total earnings from guaranteed purse, PPV share and all others...
.
How about the links that come from only Pinoy sources that JMM was avoiding Pac many years ago? Can you provide some links that are not from Manila?
It's obvious the reason PBF came out of retirement. He's Jealous of Pacquiao. Although there may also be some truth that Floyd Jr is back for money.
It's almost a pity to see Floyd struggling to get strokes but I get a kick out of watching him squirm to keep his composure. He has to belittle the accomplishments of others with back handed complements to make his own accomplishments seem greater than they are. And at the same time its seems he has to appear to have etiquette. He wants all the accolades for himself and can't stand it when they are given to others so much so when people are giving him credit it's unclear to him.
Pacquiao's popularity demands that his fights are televised for free. Thats what 20 or 30 Million homes? Does Floyd's fights get put on every movie theater in every screen in the country? Pacquiao got a 50/50 or so ppv share from the UK fighting Hatton.... how many did Mayweather Jr. get? No one can truly say that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the biggest draw in Boxing today.
Mayweather Jr. will continue to draw attention to himself because he needs it. The next 5 or 6 months we will continue to hear this same crap coming out of Floyd's mouth. He won't be able to help himself because until people start writing he is P4P #1 again. He won't stop campaigning for it. So if you're reading this Little Floyd, Campaigning for the P4P title doesn't work! You have to win people over by what you do in the ring and not what you say you do.
Did you ever hear Pacquiao say he way the number one pound for pound fighter in the world?
So when Floyd was asked "Why did you come out of retirement?" his response is "Why not?" my response to Floyd is "Because you have nothing more to prove!" Or do you?
BTW: I rank Floyd at P4P #3 right behind Marquez until he proves he's #2.![]()
If only the Philippines has a good economy like the US or UK, the PPV numbers would swell in favor of Pac. The numbers of ODLH and Gay would mean nothing.
Maybe 1/3 of the population will buy PPV. About 30 million buys per fight for Pac.
