If he beats Pacquiao? Pacquiao may be past his prime, but he's still an elite fighter and in the top 5 P4P.

Not as much as if he fought him 2009 when Manny was a serious threat.
These two are the best welterweights in the world and this is a good fight but is being treated as a major event.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Sadly yes. Guarantee wise it has grown astronomically that's just fact. But beyond fact to speculation I think the fight was huge for fans in 2009/10 and became an event for all when it appeared it wouldn't happen. People always want what they can't have.
I think it peaked and fell off a bit but it's still bigger than it would have been March 13th of 2010. Not better, not more important. But more money
If floyd beat pacman then he can claim to be TBE he's deffenetly up there IMO
It is what it is. Both guys have aged equally during that time, and it's not like either one now has an advantage that the other doesn't. That's my way of saying whoever wins should get all the credit in the world. I don't like to preface fights with "should he get credit for" before the fight even begins.
That being said, I agree with the message that sadly will probably not be given regarding waiting out while fans clamor and suffer with mega fights not being made on a timely basis. It's almost as if both parties are thumbing their nose at the public, knowing full well that we'll all be there like pitiful, faithful romantics.... willing to forgive and forget.
Will I be watching? Of course.
Both guys are past their prime, it's not like either guy is fighting the best version of that guy. I'm willing to accept that whoever wins this fight is the guy who would have won in 2009-2011.
Pac seemingly doesn't have the same pop in his shots or killer instinct that he had years ago but he's still fast as fuck. Floyd's legs and speed have visibly deteriorated over the last few years but he's still fast as fuck and his ring IQ is still off the charts, so it's a tough fight for both guys.

How much do you want to bet that the promotion of this fight coveniantly will overlook the fact that Manny got knock out cold, face first, against JMM?
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I was thinking Pac lying face down would be used opposite Floyds face on the billboards in Vegas.
Perhaps instead of a 24/7, they will replay Pac-Marquez 4 and Floyd-Maidana 1 back to back on loop, on every major network worldwide. They could also start getting some of Floyds ex girlfriends on the talk show circuit to tap into the feminist market.
We're making it seem as if Pac is a lamb to the slaughter. If anything, since the JMM ko, Pac is smarter than he was before.
Do you think Pac, the most agile and active fighter on the scene today, will just sit there and let Floyd pot-shot him?? Do you really think that? lolol....
If anything, due to Pac's movement and multi-punch combo's that are the hardest in the division, I expect Floyd to get busted up more than what he did against Maidana.
Bigger man George, bigger punch!
