If I was in Pacman's camp I would have Manny fight a safe fight to keep him active, he can fight 1 of the top 10 guys at Jr. Welterweight and then wait for Floyd to beat Marquez and then have negotiations and then a showdown. Floyd is being hounded by Uncle Sam for back taxes and knows the biggest money making fight out there is with Pacman.

A fight with Floyd will not only draw all of the Boxing fans but will also reel in the average sports fan and general public. It even has a chance to surpass the 2.4 million buys of DLH-Mayweather in terms of PPV.

Pacman is hot right now, but if he were to lose to Cotto, say bye bye to a humongous payday with Floyd, because he will be damaged goods in the eyes of people. And Floyd-Pacman is what many boxing fans, sports fans, and general public wants to see.
Your time is totally off!

Pacquiao couldn't possibly face Floyd in 2009. If doesn't matter if there was a guaranteed 3 Million PPV buys. Besides it's not Pacquio's people who made the mistake it's Floyd's people.
