Default Pacquiao or Mayweather?

I was shocked by the results of the current CBS boxing poll regarding who would win a potential Pacquiao v Mayweather fight.
Currently:
Pacquiao 62%
Mayweather 28%
Too close to call 10%

I'm assuming the overwhelming votes for Pac reflect his recent win and not reasonable, objective opinions (similar to all the votes for Zenyatta for HOTY ).

Personally, I think May would dismantle Pac. Thoughts?

Pacman is as quick as Floyd is and can punch. Floyd will have to run against him but will windup taking shots as Manny is willing to take to give. We dont know how tough FM's chin is because he rarely gets hit with a clean shot. If he fights pacquio he will. Mayweather doesnt have much power and cant hurt Pacquiao and they both know it.

Money May. Doesn't matter though, it'll be 2017 before they actually fight.

Things I have read is that Money wants 60 million for the fight, the only thing Pacquiao wants is for the fight to take place in Manila.

This fight is going to happen, and Mayweather is going to get his ass beat. Mayweather has never fought someone that is as fast as him, relentless and can take multiple punches all fight long.

Matter of fact, Pacquiao doesn't even get into a rhythm until he gets smoked a couple times

I got peeps in Manila, might have to call in a favor

As said before, Pacman is just too fast for this punk. Who the heck does he think he is, to want like 70% of the gate. I think he is just ducking this fight.

I couldn't agree with your breakdown more, if they end up trading I don't think FM will withstand Manny's punches. What my fear is, that FM will run around for 12 rounds like a little Biatch!

There is zero % chance that Mayweather would agree to fight in Manila. Nor should he.

That is what I was thinking, he goes to Manila and he has an automatic excuse when he gets smoked, and then the MAJOR MAJOR payday would be in Vegas

No payday is gonna be bigger than the one in 2010. Stop it. One fight. Vegas. Get busy Arum, Roach, etc. Set a date before the end of the month.

If they get the first fight in you better believe they'll go for at least one rematch.

That is if Mayweather doesn't get strong-armed for being a moron...

The chick in the blue is deciding if she should just reach up and grab her some.
