Pacquaio lost $100 mil by not fighting Mayweather in 2010

If it's not Garcia, I'd be surprised. I don't see anyone else left that's a makeable fight.
This. Only problem is Garcia's a great match up for actual boxing fans who follow the sport, but he's got little crossover appeal to help market the fight. Amir Khan would get dragged like a dirty mop against Mayweather, but at least he has a whole country behind him and a name. I wouldn't be surprised if Floyd used him as a high profile big money 'tune up' Garcia. It's looking like slim pickings for money fights right now. Pun intended.
 
I'm rooting for Rios personally. I'm enjoying watching Manny and Freddie Roach's little matchup games come back to bite them in the ass. People talk about Floyd's matchmaking but when was the last time Manny fought the best available comp? Or even a top ranked opponent? I think Bradley might be the best, highest ranked guy he's fought in years and he lost. Controversially? Yes. But if a dude with a broken foot on one leg and sprained ankle on the other is still standing when the fight ends, he deserves to win because his opponent wasn't shit.

Pacquiao must win and win convincingly against Rios before he can get mentioned for a big fight. At this stage in the game I think another fight against Marquez will kill him.
 
Floyd is really the draw in all these fights. If Bradley beats JMM convincingly... then it makes enough sense to tune in to watch Floyd work. There aren't any real money fights that make sense right now anyways.

Garcia isn't that far from welter.
Tim Bradley is under Arum, floyd already said it's not gonna happen
