There are three venues that would even work for this fight: Cowboys Stadium,Louisiana Superdome,and the Georgia Dome. A venue like MGM Grand would not be able to accomadate the crowd for this fight

Besides...Mayweather hasn't fought outside of LV since 2005. Manny would be ****ing stupid to agree to what would be a hometown fight for Floyd

hoops23;1163577 wrote:lol, what are you talking about? He's P4P the best boxer in the world...

I don't think people are comparing him to Jon Jones?

robj55;1163582 wrote:Yeah they should say that then, because there are so many dudes out there that would beat him in a fight. He is one of the best boxers in the world no question though.

I've said it before, but look at this way...the only story line that keeps boxing (somewhat) relevant is "when will Pac and PBF fight?" If the fight happens...there is no more story line for boxing to cling to in order and the sport slips even further into obscurity. Basically, a PBF/Pac fight will end the sport, IMO. And nobody wants that to happen. So they take turns making the other look like they are ducking the fight so that the controversy can keep on keeping on and the sport can get some exposure. The fight won't happen because there will be no more "mega-fights" to look forward to afterwards and the casual fan will give up on boxing altogether.

hoops23;1163590 wrote:lol, exactly. PBF fights in Vegas because of the $$$ and Vegas IS boxing. However, he's rarely a crowd favorite.

Hb31187;1163584 wrote:Thats obviously why hes a boxer? Lol nobodys trying to say hes a better all around fighter than MMA fighters

Def has better hands than anyone in the UFC though, but obviously no ground game or anything along those lines

robj55;1163594 wrote:Well then he's not the baddest man on the planet, of the best fighter, that was my only point. Not trying to take anything from him, nothing he can control.
