Would guys still be calling out...?

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao if they weren't the cash cows of boxing? Do you think guys like Timothy Bradley, Paul Williams, Amir Khan, and Andre Berto would still call out Pacquiao and Mayweather if Pac and Money brought no money to the table? I think Pac and Money would be the most avoided guys if they brought no money to the table... don't you? Let's be honest, no one...no one at 140 or 147 can really compete with these two guys...so who would really be calling out for a beating if it meant not getting the biggest payday of their life?

    In terms of revenue, nobody can really compete with Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. If JMM believed that he can give Manny a fight, why is it that he was asking for Manny to come down to 140#? It's all about the dough. There is so many competition out there for all these fighters but they prefer these fighters because of obvious reason, a chance to beat them and a lot of money. Promoters like Gary Shaw, GBP, TR, Lou Dibella and mor said that only Miguel Cotto, Floyd Jr. and Manny were the only fighters who can sell a fight and the others were just riding on to the charisma of these three. I can not help but believed them if we have to rely on the result shown by the live gates from these fighters.

    you are right my friend and please let me add one thing, floyd and manny are certified all time greats. just a fight against any of these 2 would surely give anybody recognition. anyone who beats floyd or manny would definitely have his status elevated big time.
