Like any other business, boxing needs to feed the appetite of the multitude of boxing fanatics and sports enthusiast. However, boxing is not only all business but it is a sport. Thus, you do not really squander away a fighters strength over some over ambitious opponent who couldn't even fight in the Nevada ring.
Sadly, Valero neither measure or even qualify to be Pacman's opponent. He is in stock market term having no par value in the real sense. For one, Mayweather without a title belt in his waist is just another great fighter who has passed through the netherworlds. His fight with Pacman doesnt really add anything to Pacman. Moreso, If and when the fight pushes through, its going to be one BIG EGO fight and nothing more, truly exciting but only for sheer entertainment.
In the end, Pacman doesn't really gain anything except probably additional money in his purse which at present time he does not and no longer need. Pac moan has nothing more to prove. He is the best Pound for Pound fighter in boxing history and every other wanna be boxer wants a piece of him for publicity purposes and to cash in from the fight.
Floyd Mayweather after his comeback from retirement is probably in need of the money and as he had publicly admitted, he was underrated and wasn't really given the acknowledgment he ought to have during his glory days in boxing.
In the final analysis, this could be a trilogy between Pacman, Mosley and Mayweather which ultimately would have a negative effect or draw back from the boxing community and enthusiasts.
It would be more of a circus act than a fight that history will remember. Far from being an awesome fight and display of talent and prowess of these respected boxers, it may be just another fight that tarnishes their already made reputations and worst leave a bland taste for boxing in our palate.

I do believe that Edwin Valero is not worthy to have a match against Manny Pacquiao. First of all Edwin Valero just came up from a win to defend his WBC Lightweight Title against Antonio DeMarco, this is not his ticket to have match with Manny. He has a long way to run. Not today Edwin Valero. There are many more deserving opponent in the Welterweight Division that can suit a match with Manny Like WBC Welterweight Champ Andre Berto, WBA Reg Welterweight Champ Vyacheslav Senchenko, or IBF Welterweight Champ Dejan Zavec. Or by any chance if Shane Mosley will be winning against Mayweather this upcoming fight it would be exciting to watch him fight against MANNY. Many Boxing Fans we're disappointed in the match of Clottey and Manny due to we didn't see so much ACTION.... And we don't want this to happen again just because of an opponent lacking the capability of showing some ACTION
