The 5 potential opponents for Pacquiao

Seano said:
I'd rather fight Andre Berto on PBC for 2 million than risk fighting a dangerous guy like Pac on PPV for 3 million.

I also think if he were to fight say, Keith Thurman, a fight that has been proposed and could EASILY be made by Al Haymon, Garcia could probably make around 3 or 4 million.

Pac really isn't in a position anymore to be getting 20 million while expecting his opponents to take 3 or 4 million.

Beat the shit out of Berto for $2m or possibly lose to Pac for $3m and have all these idiots running around saying you were never that good.

Danny's less of a name than Bradley, and that's the money Bradley took against Pac.

Bradley doesnt have PBC money and their stable to beat on like Danny does.
Bradley doesnt have much options. Arum should be trying to get him in the ring with Danny and all those guys instead of Manny.
Knowing how things work we would probably get a Bradley-Porter fight which would be awkward as hell.

Still would love to see Bradley fight PBCs welterweights.

Well he can make 2 million instead of 4 million but let's see what kind of ratings he gets. The point of fighting Manny and Floyd, besides the money, is the exposure.

It looks like Danny Garcia will be returning September 24th vs Andre Berto

Keep wasting away your prime years Danny. Turning down Pac for a Berto fight, huh? Really going for greatness there.

I'm officially bored by Garcia now.
 
Yeah I'm not getting on board with this bullshit about Pac being too dangerous.

Garcia has needed a fight like that for about 5 year, if he's passing it up now it's because he's too comfortable making money. It's a blatant duck.

Berto won't be an easy fight for him either, the kid can still fight.

I like Danny but when he's in a competitive fight he always seems a little vulnerable. Don't think Berto will have much to offer him but if they start trading who knows?

Breaking: Terrance Crawford manager said "fuck then" in regards to the Pac fight.

They are not interested. That's right. 3 people turned Manny down.

Manny is officially the most ducked boxer

Thurman called out Manny. That would be a great fight.
 
Hopefully it will be the winner of Crawford Postol because Pacquiao Vargas is just a mismatch.

Thats sort of what I was thinking but didn't want to open that can of worms again. Fighting Pac was not so good for Bradley, other than that payday.

I think people are sort of overrating Pacs power in the sport right now too. The terrible Mayweather/Pac fight sort of knocked him down a peg. He's not selling PPVs like he used to.
 
i know one fighter has a contract in hand already but was told to sit on it temporarily. my guess is that it is because they are waiting to see what happens with crawford vs. postol.

His father, Al Haymon, probably said no. Al tells Danny what to do, and he wants Danny to fight Keith Thurman.

It was $4 million. But I seriously hope that is not Danny's attitude, because that is probably the weakest shit I've ever heard.

Danny made a career out of fighting, out of being a competitor. You're telling me that he would rather fighter Andre Berto, a guy nobody gives a shit about, than fight Manny Pacquiao the boxing superstar for twice the money and a chance at the ultimate level of accomplishment in his sport? That would be the most pathetic case of aiming low I've ever seen from a professional athlete.

The reality of the situation is probably that Al Haymon told Danny he is not allowed to fight anybody he might lose to that is not named Keith Thurman.
