I still contend that even Mayweather keeps his casual fans/haters hanging around especially because the Pacquiao fight hasn't gone down. Once its over, mainstream interest in both guys will dip. It's Floyd, Manny then a big dropoff when considering star power, worldwide recognition, ppvs, resume, speed, power, etc. If even Manny cannot make this fight close, Floyd can definitely go out on top. Just give him the TBDefenseE crown, no need to watch Floyd fight anymore, lol. The crazy thing is I don't even think Floyd haters mind giving him his props. Just beat Pacquiao, then there's nothing left to debate. Its not like only Manny got old in all that time, they both did. After Pac vs Mayweather goes down, Mayweather can REALLY talk his shyt: PPVs, TBE, most paid boxer of all time, etc. But that's also why I say none of that is going to matter after Pacquiao. If Mayweather doesn't retire, the only selling point he'll have left for future fights is young vs old.

Not if they're still with Haymon though breh (all of em except Canelo, Walters, Crawford)
Right
The IBF, WBA, and WBC have been working together currently to try and start up a way to get the Champions in each of their divisions to fight each other. They met June 21-24 and was working together (http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/wbc-wba-ibf-plan-september-summit-talks-258399 ) and then again on September 24th ( http://wbcboxing.com/wbceng/news/3371-wbc-wba-ibf-second-summit-reaches-historic-agreements ).....with the best news being this:
The WBC has already started with their tournament being devised. I made a thread on it called the "Floyd Mayweather Invitational Tournament". Each Organization is supposed to hold a tournament (WBA and IBF as well) and THEN each Champion is supposed to fight the other in another mini tournament in order to crown 1 TRUE Champion
Hopefully it all works out and
the WBO for not meeting or trying to participate

nikkas would rather see Floyd become a billionaire than see him fight Manny.
The public never worried so much about what somebody in boxing was going to be paid until this god forsaken fight got mentioned.
Well look at the evolution in boxing. Tito was not his boss, Cotto is his own boss now and refused to get played around by Bob. Floyd is his own boss as well (kinda). If thew fight doesn't happen because he doesn't wanna get jerked by Bob, I won't even be mad. I ll also find it very hypocritical that Manny gets no blame for not being vocal and pressing Bob. Also hypocritical that Pac seems content with his position. Canelo forced Oscar to make the Lara fight, but Pac can't tell Bob what to do ? Yes Floyd is being greedy and overly cautious, but Pac and Bob don't seem too pressed to make the fight either. Now, Cinco de Mayo is an issue ?

nope
just manny's
the general public will just move on to the next boxer
you see how quickly they hopped onto the canelo bandwagon once pacquaio got knocked out?
pacquaio on the other hand will be done
minus his homegrown fans who love him regardless

Yep, you can see the Amir Khan bandwagon growing already.
1. the more top 10 welterweights khan keeps beating, the more people will jump on his bandwagon.
2. he talks a lot of shyt
Lol they'll move on to Khan, but I wouldn't exactly call it Pac vs Mayweather level of demand. Ain't nobody saying Floyd can't retire without fighting Amir Khan, lol. Like I said earlier, will be billed an old school vs new school type of fight, which I'm not mad at. I would love to see that fight too. It'll do well in the UK, Floyd should take the fight there.

If it ain't Floyd/Manny I'm not copping from either of them.

How many rounds do you guys think Jesse can win against PAC?
Will he ever make it out of the cage?
But then again Crawford is going to 140.

Those are Manny's 2 fights for 2015 right there. His schedule his set. Both Top Rank fighters. Both will have shytty undercards. This shyt is so pathetic.
I'm looking over Top Rank's roster right now. For 2016, why not put Pac in with Alvarado? Give Alvarado a bunch of bums in 2015 & there you go.
It's not hard to think like Arum at all. He'll just look over his roster & put Pac in with one of those guys not giving a fukk.
