So if Manny Pacquio will fight Adrien Broner on Jan. 19, 2019 see discussion here Manny Pacquaio vs. Adrien Broner
And Floyd Mayweather will fight Tenshin Nasukawa on New Years Eve see discussion here Floyd Mayweather set for New Year's Eve fight in Japan
I guess the fight between Manny Pacquiao Vs Floyd Mayweather this December will not happen since both fighters are booked on different days.
That accidental meeting between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather is nothing but just testing the waters.

Exactly. Something to hype up boxing fans wanting to see these two oldies go at it again. Honestly i don't think another bout would be appealing for most fans. We've seen the first one, and there's no reason why the result would be different the second time around.

I do not understand why they need to have warm up fights before fighting each other.

First Pacquiao declared that he will fight someone else before fighting Mayweather, kinda like a warm up fight and get ready probably and now Mayweather declared he will be fighting in Tokyo,japan during Christmas time I think and it is not even looking like boxing which is really shocking considering the only thing Mayweather is good at is boxing.

Both of them look like they are either trying to warm up before a big fight or more likely they want to both get their names heard once more to remind them they are still in this business and also make a little bit more money before getting into the biggest rematch of history. I really hope both of them loses their warm up fights and that drops the interest in their fights, we need new people to watch and keeping these people around really just makes the fighting world boring.

That's right, time isn't enough for Manny to have two fights with a short monthly allowance. Training, practicing and preparation is insufficient for him. As far as I remember it should be around 6 months or more.

And with their meeting on Japan, I think its not a testing of the waters but its a coincidence where they have their own negotiation to meet there. If ever someone who's close to the both of them was them, he just faced the two for a talk or they already talked about this fight but still has a lot of details to talk to.

It will not happen this December for sure because Manny Pacquiao had a scheduled fight with Broner though Floyd's supposed to be circus with that Japanese kid had been cancelled. But definitely these two boxers will meet in the ring next year i think. Floyd is shopping for MMA fighters and lure them to fight him in boxing but i guess he can't fool anyone this time.

[davinchi]

I still think it won't be anything like people expect. Both fighters are aging really fast and in a profession like boxing age really matters, I honestly believe any young 25 year old fighting another young fighter would definitely give us a better show of action, maybe they won't be as talented but at this level "talent" means not getting punched whereas any boxer fan out there wants to see Pacman and Mayweather punch their faces hundred times.

It will probably be something simple like avoiding punches all game and probably will end in decision in favor of Mayweather who probably avoided the most punches. It will be boring, it will be highly skilled fighters but it will be boring. I wouldn't pay to watch it at all, I will either stream it or I will download it later on to watch. May not even work that much, just take a look at highlights on youtube and it will be enough.

[nydiacaskey01]

Even when Floyd Mayweather already made an announcement that he will not fight anyone on new years eve in Japan, I still think this Pacquiao Vs Mayweather 2 is not going to materialize. There's not enough time for both fighters to practice or prepare for the fight and Manny Pacquiao  already made a decision on who will he face next. i also don't think Manny Pacquiao is interested in facing Floyd Mayweather. Manny is not mentioning this fight in any of his speaking engagement.

This is right, where fight preparation wont really be that enough for a short period of time but if its really being settled it can still be set out.Eventually they are both fighting another fighters instead.
This do signify that it can still possible to bout on a short time.In short, that was just pure coincidence.

We would really like to see the rematch but they do set out into others either their own decision or their promoter.

Lol, boxing is all about hitting and not to be hit in return. Mayweather is a known defensive fighter and putting him against a offensive fighter like Manny Pacquiao will simply offset the boring aspect of this match. Though they are not on their prime anymore, these two boxers still got followers and will watch this match.

[harizen]

.. i also don't think Manny Pacquiao is interested in facing Floyd Mayweather.

He want a rematch definitely. As he mentioned, he can't retire with peace of mind with that defeat.

Pacquiao says Mayweather the reason why he can’t retire yet

The reason why he don't speaks about the rematch thing in any of his speaking engagement is because it will harm the promotion of his upcoming fight with Broner*. But he throw up some statement about that in his recent interview.

So now there's 2 matches that haunts Manny Pacquiaos mind. A rematch with Juan Manuel Marquez and Floyd Mayweather. Amonth the 2 matches, I would rather watch a rematch with Juan Manuel Marquez than bore my self watching Floyd Mayweather run around the ring to avoid a slugfest with Manny Pacquiao. But that is if Juan Manuel Marquez will come out from his retirement which is very much unlikely to happen.

Floyd already went out of his retirement so we can expect some fights to come on his side.

And this fight against Manny Pacquiao is very possible to happen, however they have their own fights to settle and they need to face those first. I highly believe that this fight will be settled soon, maybe on 2019 this is going to be the fight of the year.

I don't think that Juan Manuel Marquez is interested to fight Manny because as far as I can remember, he was offered to get out of retirement when Pacquiao is still under Bob Arum's but he refuses to do so. For him the chapter has been sealed with him knocking the hell out of Pacquiao. The chances though with Floyd 2 is likely, because he is know under Al Haymon and we all know that Al is very close or we can say that Al is sort of advisor of Floyd besides Leonard Ellerbe. I wouldn't imagine Manny getting Broner though, anyways looks like its a done deal so its going to be a fun and exciting fight.

I agree with you, JMM will not fight Pacman anymore even if he will be offered tons of money  . The way i see it, all he wants is just a win from a Pacman fight to seal his career and be remembered in history as the one of the fighter that knocks out Manny. That fight Manny is leading the score cards in my view and only that lucky punch from JMM changed the outcome.
Money vs Manny 2 is probable to both Floyd and Pacquiao for now. Floyd needs the money while Manny has unfinished business with Floyd, just as simple as that  .

Yes, its just one Hail-mary shot that Juan Marquez, knocking Pacquiao out cold for good. I think Manny was able to get back during that fight and it might be true that he leads on the scorecard. Anyways, I still think that Floyd vs Manny 2 will happen in 2019 after the Broner fight. Of course both of them will earn huge amounts of money so obviously they will push for it in Q2 next year.

I agree with you, I don't think Juan Manuel Marquez will get out of retirement to fight Manny Pacquiao. He already got his sweet revenge to Manny Pacquiao. I remember the time when Juan Manuel Marquez is still trying to convince Manny Pacquiao to sign the contract for an immediate rematch after his to Manny Pacquiao. Juan Manuel Marquez visited Philippines and ask for the rematch but Manny Pacquiao did not give it to Juan Manuel Marquez right away. I was even lucky enough to have a picture together with Juan Manuel Marquez in a restaurant where Juan Manuel Marquez checked in.

Even when the fight of Floyd Mayweather in Tokyo is cancelled, I don't think this fight with Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather will happen. No more noise coming from both sides and I guess the fight of Manny Pacquiao with Broner is a done deal.

I just wish they start to talk about date and place, I mean when it is just "they will fight" there is really no point of discussing it over nothing. Right now, we are talking about a fight that is not even set yet, maybe something will happen and they will decide not to fight anymore. As long as there is no contract and there is nothing that keeps them from backing up from the fight we can't really trust what they say. We need to see a set fight date and place.

I am 99% sure it will be Las Vegas as usual because that is the one place people go when there is a huge fight but I still think a date is really needed in order to get this to a "reality" so we can actually start to talk about it. At least we will watch both of them fight before they fight each other, that way we can see if they have lost a step or not.

[thejaytiesto]

Floyd said he wanted a tune up fight before Pacman 2. I would do a tune up fight, do a Pacman rematch and retire, but he will probably be too tempted to fight in the future again, perhaps Khabib on a boxing match for an huge payday. Dana White says no but Khabib is becoming big enough to do his own thing. Floyd should win all of these fights by decision as usual, but if he keeps fighting he may fuck it up eventually, specially if he keeps spending too much and is forced to fight for money.

Anyway cant wait for Tyson vs Wilder. 100 bucks for a quick Wilder KO sounds fun but most likely Tyson can bring it to UD.

They're probably just adding more spice to the fight before we can finally see a date. Obviously it won't happen this year and Pacquao vs Broner is already set. Yes, I agree its probably in Las Vegas again, which makes sense because of the huge money this two are going to put up.

@thejaytiesto - The Wilder vs Fury is very interesting, but we are off-topic, probably will open a thread when the fight gets closer, P.S. Roach will be at the corner of Fury so it adds another parameters on the said fight.

Agreed Pacquiao really dominated against Marquez in all 6 rounds, but Marquez got lucky with his counter punch against him and it KOd Pacman face down. It shocked a lot of people even me as I really didn't expect that kind of turn of events especially when Marquez's face was all bloody and swollen with all the punishment he received. But the problem with this rematch not happening is that Marquez was last active in 2014 and I doubt that he is in shape to fight a rematch against Pacman.
