And if Arum and Pac want the winner of Garcia/Thurman, they will get the winner of that fight because it is a huge fight with lost of money and Garcia or Thurman and their teams would be drooling for such a fight.
    yeah, all of sudden, now its easy to deal and make big fights with two different promotional company right?

    why would arum try to work and get thurman/gracia for manny when the profit would have to be split? thurman/garcia vs manny prolly will do good numbers but after splitting the outcome how much more do you think arum is going to profit from it for him to even consider it?

    arum makes crap in house fights BUT he gets to keep everything.

And who is to say he does not want to fight the winner of the Thurman/Garcia fight???? I am waiting to see if he wants to go out on top or not. Anything less is an ANTICLIMAX to a come back.
      umm his fight with bradley was in april 2016, he came back and fought vargas in nov 2016. so yeah, 7 months.

        fighting pacquiao isnt worth 7 mill anymore.

        unless the opponent has some ppv power and fanbase that spends money.

You are the one assuming he wont fight the Thurman/Garcia winner. I am saying if he lines himself up for that fight, he gets a huge pay day and goes out on top if he wins.
          And if he loses to those guys then he gets called an old man who whould have never fought those guys at his age, etc. you know nobody in this ****y fanbase gives credit

            4 mil is fair. 7 is way too much IMO

              This is like people wanting Floyd to come back to fight a monster like Thurman or GGG, for what reason? Floyd comes back (if he does) and he will fight a guy similar to Berto, good fighter but not a threat to him
              I think Floyd makes easy work of Thurman. And I don't see him coming back unless he wants to cash in on MayPac2.

                Who said it was easy to make big fights??? Does not mean they cannot be made. There is nothing stopping Pac from fighting the expected top Welterweight outcome in March. As far as splits and profits, no one is at that point and anything at this time is conjecture. First Pac/Arum have to show that they want to fight for the top spot which they should want to and then see how things iron out. Any fight involving Pac can get done IF the desire is there.

                  Correct. He retired from Boxing, had no interest in fighting again. And during his retirement realized that he missed the sport and came back. That can be proven in a court of law.

                    incorrect.

                    its not about missing the sport,

                    its about making money to buy votes in elections.

                      If he loses to a lower level guy does so at a lower pay and he gets called old -but if he loses to the THE top welterweight and people call him old then at least A) it was to THE top fighter and B) he got paid huge money for it. Next.
