Pacquiao offered $65M to fight Alvarez in Mexico

[marbleheadmaui]

Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim has offered $65 million to Pacquiao to fight in Mexico next year. While the opponent was not named, reports had said Slim was looking at Saul "Canelo" Alvarez as the likely opponent.

Report says that negotiation has started and that Pacquiao was interested in the guaranteed money.

I think this news report is more credible than the allegedly $65 milion offer to Mayweather Arum has revealed as the parties to the negotiation is mentioned.

The only issue is at what weight will they fight?

Pac & Arum might jump on that, probably a catchweight or perhaps welterweight.

Nah. Enough with the catch weight bullshit. For 65 million he can fight at 154.

Nothing BS about catchweights. Nothing.

There is no doubt Pac can still make 140 and be comfortable. Watch him ask for it.

LOL, what are you willing to bet?

65 millions, that's what I call the hell of a money to fight somebody who Manny has most chances to beat.

[armyash]

i would take 65 mill to kick someones ass

I'd take 65mill to let Alvarez and Pac both kick my ass

[Master]

I would spend £65 million to get Pac Man v Mayweather

I would spend £65 to convince Manny to random blood tests before a big fight.

That's pretty damn good deal!

Pac would target practice his ass and knock him the fukk out in the 12th. Now that's entertainment.

Would laugh my arse off if this happened and Alvarez pulls off the upset lol

No way in hell do GBP let their boy in with Pacquiao. Not for a couple of years anyway and, by then, Pacquiao would've hung up the gloves.

I guess it all depends on the money that Slim is willing to put on the table.

We are witnessing the end of boxing as we know it. If Pacman take this fight for $65M, and wins, he's going to think he deserve that kind of cash for every fight. If Alvarez somehow win, at the age of 20something, besides a rematch, where else will he get that kind of money? After this fight, we all going to call the winner, Pacman or Alvarez the new Mayweather. Wanting more and more cash that's not available.

The only fight worth that kind of money(really not worth it) is the fight that's never going to happen.

That's right. And people are pointing fingers at Floyd for hand picking opponents, go figure.

At least Canelo wouldn't be a Floyd leftover.

Canelo should do what Pac does and wait until Pac starts to fade, becomes over the hill, etc. and then fight him to have a nice name in his resume.
