I know yall tired of hearing this but check it anyway. With Floyd Mayweather doing a block buster deal with Showtime which includes major network backing and advertisement on major Saturday and Sunday time slots he is poised to face Canelo Avarez (if they both get past their next prospective fights vs Canelo and Austin Troute) can either match or surpass Mayweather vs Oscar Dela Hoya. It's to bad Canelo can't wait till he has posted 2 more major names on his resume to make him even bigger but time might not be on Mayweather's side so they have to do it now in September.
Now check out the moves Bob Arum is making with Manny Pacquiao taking him over seas and into the Asian market with the rising power of their casinos supposedly become more prominent than even the Las Vegas casinos as far as revenue gained from the gambling culture. Arum claims he will Make Pacquiao a global superstar (like he wasn't already big). But Pacquiao has a tough road to travel as he has to rematch Juan Manuel Marquez and win (he can outpoint Marquez and move on)...I personally don't think he needs a knock out. Just outbox his opponent and move on to Timothy Bradley who in my opinon is the tougher of the two challenges. Why? Because Pacquiao can neither knock Bradley down or out and he can't connect on Bradley as much as Marquez. Don't look at the compu box numbers to their last fight cause they lied (Pac average 22 punches landed per round LMFOA!!!)...the judges were the ones that got it right, Bradley won.
Now if both fighters win in 2013 moving into 2014 with their new promotional plat forms then this fight will be BIGGER than the fictional 2009, 2010 version of this mythical match up. It is ALL contingent on one man and that is Bob Arum...is he finally willing to risk and cash out or will he gamble yet once again on avoiding Mayweather? Will Pacquiao let the Mayweather bout slip away with thinking he is Mayweather's equal. Facts state otherwise time and time again that Mayweather is the bigger draw of the two? Fact is you don't split 50/50 or do deals like 40/40 winner take remaining 10%. When Oscar was Pay Per View King and Floyd was Pound 4 Pound King...Mayweather had to accept the lesser of the purse it's that simple. Pacquiao and his team need to be more business oriented and less prideful as they have been humiliated by the unexpected turn of events of 2011 and 2012.
When Dela Hoya was waiting for the returning numbers on the Dela Hoya vs Mayweather Pay Per View numbers, he thought that the bout would do 1.5 million...then he saw 2.5 million and was shocked. Well with the titanic move Mayweather has just solified and the supposed super move Bob Arum/ Manny Pacquioa are reported to be formulating...if both fighters square of in 2014 in September with undercards names such as Nonito Donare vs?-----/ Adrien Broner vs------?/ it could shatter that 2.5 million mark.
