This could be the date that we see the biggest fight in the history of boxing. Floyd "Money" Mayweather has once again called out Manny "Pacman"Pacquiao to fight him on this date next year. Money is looking for the biggest fight he can get and this seems to be it. I would love to see this fight and so would everyone else. Now there are many aspects that go into this fight.
Pacquiao is considered the best pound for pound champ in the world right now for the simple fact that he fights a lot more then Money does. Floyd has had one fight in 16 months. The Pacman really has nothing to lose in this fight. He is already on top of the world in boxing. He is loved by almost everyone and if her were to lose it still would go down in history as a great fighter.
Mayweather on the other had has a lot to lose. He is undefeated in 42 fights and could go out with an unblemished record. He could make a record pay day and be set for life but I think Floyd could careless about the money. Most of you see him as cocky and all about the money hints the nickname. But he is a real student of the game of boxing. He has had many run ins with the law and maybe that is why his image is not as clean as the Pacman but I think if Floyd were to lose it would be worse to him than spending every dime he has. He really wants to leave a huge legacy.
This man loves the sport of boxing and he could spend the hundreds of millions of dollars he has and will make but if he stays undefeated he will always be a legend. There is a lot riding on the fight for Floyd. Not just the loss of the fight but it would be a loss of legacy. Floyd wants to go down as the best boxer of all time and keeping that 0 in the loss column is a big part of that. A loss to Pacman would just consider him a decent boxer who loss to the best. Now when you are a fighter you always want to fight the best and neither of these guys are getting any younger.
No one wants to see this fight happen when they are both past their prime like some Hopkins/Jones Jr. fight. This fight has to take place in the next 12 months or else the time frame will have lapsed. If Floyd wants to secure his legendary status he needs to fight Manny and win and retire after. If he does this he will have cleaned out a division and collected all the money he needs for himself.
For Manny I think its just a chance to fight the best. The Pacman is all about fighting the best. He will take the fight no matter what. He already has a loss on his record, and made a ton of money for his family. Also he is loved by his whole country. There is nothing to lose. He could fight Floyd three times in the next year and we would buy all three just to see the best of the best go at it.
They say this fight will cost $70 plus on pay-per-view. I say it should cost $150. Who wouldn't pay this. Everyone wants to see these two fight. I think it would get 4 million buys on PPV and both these guys could go out there and have a huge fight and call it a career.
