What's Next?

The long awaited fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao has come and gone, now the question looms, what’s next for these two. Mayweather is under contract for one more fight under Showtime, and while there are no clear frontrunners, there is a slew of name waiting for a chance. For Pacquiao the situation is a bit bleaker. The aging superstar can see the light at the end of the tunnel and is not the same boxer that once dominated the sport.

Mayweather is going to have one more fight this year, presumably in September if everything goes to plan. Chances are he’s going to take on Amir Khan. The man who is best known for having a glass jaw. The hype machine will be unreal yet again. Mayweather will do his part in promoting the fight and then will knock out Khan, EASILY and improve his record. That’s what will happen, because Khan is a big draw for the UK crowd, we know Floyd loves his Money, and he is a n easy opponent to take care of, we know Floyd loves his record. What should happen is that Floyd should fight either GGG or Danny Garcia. Garcia knocked out Khan in 2012 and is undefeated at 30-0. GGG is 32-0 and is a vicious knockout artist. Of course those fights won’t happen because A. Both of the fighters pose a bigger threat to Mayweather than Khan. And B. Boxing is all about money and neither of the two are big draws.

As for Pacquiao, options aren’t there. The only feasible option is another Juan Manuel Marques fight, can you say number 5 or a fight against the likes of Martin Murray, Lucas Matthysse, or a Sergio Martinez. Chances are his fight is going to be in Macau since that’s where the next big spot is supposed to be and then he’ll go out with a win.
