At this point, I think it is unlikely that these two will ever meet in the ring. It will go down as the greatest fight that never took place. Ideally, Manny and Mayweather would have fought (and had a rematch and possibly a rubber match) sometime between late 2009- mid-2012). Instead, politics got in the way. The only way I can see the two fighting at this juncture is if they both become irrelevant and need each other as a "blast from the past" kind of match.
Pacquiao has beaten a slew of all-time greats in dominating fashion. Because Mayweather has carefully handpicked his opponents over the second-half of his career, there will always be an asterisk beside his name in the annals of boxing history (because he avoided Pacquiao). This fight would have set all-time records for pay-per-view buys and could have made boxing a mainstream sport once again.
Also, I think at this point, the general public has lost a lot of interest in both of these guys.
No
Mayweather works with Golden Boy and Manny Pacquiao is still with Top Rank so that alone is an obstacle
Mayweather is signed with Showtime and Manny Pacquiao is with HBO so that's another
There really is no point in Mayweather fighting him. Win or lose, he would still be the best but since Manny Pacquiao has been on a cold streak lately, it takes away from the fire the fight once had. Plus if he fights him, he will get no credit by those who want him to fight Pacquiao because they will say he is past his prime and Mayweather only picks fighters he knows he can beat.
It really doesn't matter who Mayweather fights anymore. Until he loses, no one will give him credit.
I predicted that they would never fight since years ago so im not changing my mind tonight.
I dont even want to see it to be honest and Manny Pacquiao doesn't have the capacity that he used to, so he's not in his prime, mayweather is in elite shape so he probably wants Pacquiao to fight some more then he'll take the fight hahaha
Nah man the fight should've happened a long time ago, if they do fight im not watching to be honest, we the fans can't get cheated that way.
Floyd has 4 fights left on his contract after canelo. If pacman puts on a demolition job against Brandon rios on Nov 24 than the fight will be on the table. Pacquiao Will want the fight more than mayweather, but mayweather is more likely to win. I feel that if both fighters win there next three fights then one of the biggest super fights of all time could finally happen. Btw I think if this fight doesn't happen it will be the final nail in the coffin for professional boxing and UFC will take over. It's as if Ali And Fraizer never fought!
If Pac gets beat again - Certainly not.
If Pac strings a couple of wins together, then maybe as Mayweathers last fight... That's a big maybe???
pac will do evrything for a comeback... jmm doesnt wanna give him that chance,
so a floydfight at theis point of his career will even be more perfect....
it actually depends on floyd ever since....
but hey, didnt he promised no more fighting strong champs before he retires...????
so,...how floyd sees pac will decide if the fight happens or never =)
What's the point of them fighting when PAC is done lol
No
dont know dont care anymore
no
Do you think Mayweather and Pacquiao will ever fight each other? If you think so, when do you think they will fight? IMO i think Floyd will fight Manny last before he retires .
