Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Aligns Himself With Al Haymon, Eyes Big Fights

[JuniorTorres720]

Pacquiao's intent on fighting on. I know he said he wanted 3 more fights (1 in December and 2 in 2019) but it may come down to two. If that's the case then I wouldn't mind him taking a soft touch in the first half of 2019 and then getting a big money fight in the latter half to close out his career. We all know Pacquiao doesn't have anything else left to prove and he deserves the paycheck.

I expect to see FMJ or PAC fight Broner then face each other in the rematch.
IMHO Broner is a very winnable fight for FMJ and PAC. It's the easiest to sell, and it puts the most asses in the seats. Plus its one - Broner vs PAC - that you could televise on Fox and sell increased advertising. Promote it as the winner gets FMJ in Sept.

Sell the Pac/ May rematch as a sleep remedy!! No pay 2 see that snoozefest.

The question is why is it going to be a snoozefest?

Is it because of the nonstop running of Floyd or is it the nonstop hugging by Floyd? That is the real reason why the first fight left a bitter taste in fans mouth. One wanted to fight, the other wanted to survive and received a much undeserved paycheck from that bore-fest.

But Eddie said he was going to Dazn???

Yeah the A-level Matthysse was a much bigger fight....

No, he's D level too.

20 mil for fighting Broner? What you smoking?

Easily. Broners name is HEAVILY tied to Mayweather and that alone sells this fight. They will use May's name as the opponent for the winner so people will watch for that reason alone. On top of that, Broner is a bonehead and knows how to garner attention, albeit negative attention.

Everyone is talking about May vs Pac 2. There is no gurantee that an old Pac beats a young Broner even though Pac is a better fighter. Age does matter and it's not like Broner doesn't have talent. Yes I believe even an old Pac can beat AB but I also believe AB can beat an old Pac. Would make no sense to do May Pac first than winner gets AB so u figure May will ask Haymon to give "lil bro" a Pacman payday as a favor seeing how Broner isn't focused enough to string a few big wins together and earn himself a Manny fight. So we just might get a sibling rivalry fight instead of a part 2.

Easily? How many PPV's has Broner sold to make $20 mil for Pacquiao easily. Complete nonsense.

ok so we count lineal belts and that 150 fight vs Margarito?

I think Ring belts and lineal belts. That Margarito fight was his 8th.

Not lineal at all. I couldn’t care less about Ring but I doubt it was too.
