Will the Boxing Summit Pact Help Finally Force a Pac-Floyd Fight?

Read that a boxing summit among the four major sanctioning/governing bodies (WBA WBC, IBF and WBO) will be held soon and high on their agenda is an agreement on including in their respective ratings even rival champions as recognized by them. This means that Manny Pacquiao as WBO champion can be designated by WBA and WBC as top rated and mandatory challenger for Floyd Mayweather and by IBF for Shawn Porter and vice versa, virtually paving the way for unifications. Failure to comply will mean title/s being stripped and recognition withdrawn from dissenting champion/s. Which could adversely affect their popularity marketability and viability as pro boxer.

Do you think that pact will eventually help facilitate/force a fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather and others who have been avoiding each other?

Why or why not?

    That would be great. Need one governing body. Basketball has NBA, Futbol has FIFA, Hockey has NHL, Boxing needs one!

    When the WBC made Pacquiao the number one 1 challenger at 147 which is the belt Floyd has, Floyd immediately said a belt doesnt make him and that it won't do nothing. So my guess is so this doesn't change anything

    I hope WBO not joining will not preclude the others to include WBo champions in their lists of contenders. What's with the WBO anyway?

    Nope. Many tried but failed.

    Though I know one person who could make the megafight. And that is Floyd Mayweather Jr. Thing is he would never do it.
