In a sign that Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26 KO?s) is eager to get Filipino Manny Pacquiao in the ring as soon as possible, Floyd Mayweather Jr. said this about Manny Pacquiao as quoted by Sports Illustrated ?I think Manny Pacquiao?s an unbelievable fighter, and hopefully we can make the fight happen in the future.?
I wonder if Floyd Mayweather Jr. is worried about Pacquiao suffering another loss in his upcoming fight in November, which would pretty much take a lot of the air out of a future Floyd Mayweather Jr. ? Manny Pacquiao mega fight.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. might still fight Manny Pacquiao even if he loses his next bout, but the money would likely be way, way down from what it would have been had the two fighters been able to reach an agreement for a mega fight in 2010 when they first started talking about fighting. A lot of the interest in this fight has died off, but there?s still a significant amount.
Manny Pacquiao losing to Tim Bradley last June didn?t help things, though, and another loss for Manny Pacquiao this November against Bradley, Juan Manuel Marquez or Miguel Cotto, will really hurt a future Floyd Mayweather Jr. ? Manny Pacquiao fight.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. needs to say the right things to get Manny Pacquiao in the ring. It?s about Floyd Mayweather Jr. getting that money will it?s still available. If Manny Pacquiao is smart, he should tell Arum to forget about the November fight because all the guys that Arum wants to match Manny Pacquiao with are too risky at this point in his career for him to be fighting.
Manny Pacquiao may have two wins over Marquez and another win over Cotto, but that doesn?t mean anything. Cotto has gotten better, and Manny Pacquiao seems to be going downhill. And Manny Pacquiao?s wins over Marquez were all controversial, and the chances are high that Marquez will finally get the nod from the judges if he can get Manny Pacquiao in the ring in November.
