Floyd is sweating and farting. The pressure to #FightPacquiao builds every day. I smell a retirement threat/announcement soon from Punk Floyd.

Mayweather is finished if he ducks pacquiao again especially after the foot locker commercial. The whole world will know that he isn't a true champion. Pacquiao is younger and in better shape than Mayweather so expect pacman to be ppv king for the next few years as long as arum can find him some decent opposition due to the fact Al Haymon has a lot of big names that he won't let fight top rank fighters. He'd rather match up his world champions against the rod salkas of the world instead of the pacquiaos and the bradleys.

keep dreaming. you haters set yourselves up for failure everytime

No PPV distributor is going to pick a Canelo PPV event over a Mayweather PPV event, regardless of who Canelo fights.

All of this false bravado, and the foolish rhetoric from the folks on this site (who likely never actually pay for the PPVs to begin with) will result in Alvarez ending up left with taking $1.5m to have the fight aired on regular HBO.

He'd be spiting himself out of $8m-$10m. lol

You must be suffering from some sort of paranoid schizophrenia. Do you think showtime who has guaranteed mayweather 32 mill a fight would really put duckweather/khan head to head against canelo cotto. Nobody would buy that fight they would all choose canelo cotto. Showtime would be forced to move the date. Whatever your sniffing pass it over here

the more pacquiao begs. the more mayweather makes. pacquiao has his orders.all he has to do is to tell arum to sit down somewhere and the fight will get made

You say hater like that is a bad thing. As a boxing fan I absolutely hate the so called champions who continue to duck the best opposition and they are mostly Al Haymon fighters. Duckweather has ducked pacman for 5 years, danny Garcia fought rod salka who isn't even ranked yet danny Garcia is supposed to be the kind of the light welterweight division. Adonis Stevenson went as far as leaving hbo to showtime so he didn't have to fight kovalev and then priced himself out of the Hopkins fight. They are an embarrassment to the sport"peeleft:

Im still trying to figure out what makes Canelo entitled to those dates. If the argument is, its because hes mexican, im going to call B.S. on that. If those are the biggest dates for PPV boxing then they should be reserved for the biggest fights. If Mayweather has the bigger fight then who cares if he gets the date. That being said there is only one fight bigger than Cotto-Canelo. If Canelo does not fight Cotto I fail to see how Canelo is going to beat Mayweather off the date especially because if not Cotto-Canelo then it looks like its going to be Mayweather-Cotto.

And lets not forget one thing, Its not only Mexicans who buy the PPV on those dates, all demographics increase in PPV purchases, American, Puerto Rican and Mexican among others. Im sure theres a larger increase by the Mexican demographic but its not the only increase, I will even go as far as to say that its not even 50% of the buys. So the myth that these dates are sought after for the increased Mexican buys is just that, a myth. These dates are sought after because during these dates there is little to no competition in other sports, which means there is a larger focus on boxing resulting in a larger buy rate.

-Showtime isn't looking at one fight; they're looking at 6 fights. (Mayweather-Canelo was so big a fight that the $32m guarantee is still workable).
-Both Mayweather-Maidana fights have been rumored to do well over $60m in PPV revenue.
-Mayweather-Khan could be easily expected to bring in another $25m in PPV revenue in England

-No PPV distributor is going to carry Cotto-Alvarez over Mayweather-Khan if forced to choose; the heck with what you think. lol
