Juan Manuel Marquez defeated Manny Pacquiao and now looms the never-ending question of what’s next?
Pacuqiao has beaten some of boxing’s best, but the $200 million elephant in the ring still remains. A fight with Floyd Mayweather could temporarily save boxing, while deciding who the best pound-for-pound fighter of this era truly is.
Sure, a rematch with Bradley would make sense and do relatively good business. Not to mention the fact that Pacquiao and Mayweather do not necessarily need one another to drum up a healthy payday. But boxing needs what would be the fight of the century.
Tonight’s rematch with Juan Manuel Marquez felt more like a rerun given the history of bouts between these two.
A fresh main event chock-full of star power would not only be monumental for boxing, it would transcend sports.
Neither Pacuqiao or Mayweather are getting any younger. Time continues to waste away as two of boxing’s greatest legends play a legendary game of chicken.
