If Floyd Mayweather decides to return…

If Mayweather decides to return on May 5th, HBO will likely return the week after the pay-per-view telecast with a “World Championship Boxing” or a “Boxing After Dark” event that re-airs the pay-per-view event. In the past few years, the live fight of the week has been lackluster.
 
This year, the fight following the Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez fight is Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Peter Manfredo. Good draw, bad mismatch. Chavez Jr.’s last appearance on HBO did a big rating and his fight against Manfredo will do well but will most likely not be competitive.
 
Mayweather’s fight vs. Shane Mosley had Paul Williams vs. Kermit Cintron as its follow-up fight. HBO had the right idea on getting Williams more exposure but what boxing fans were left with was a joke of a fight.
 
If Mayweather and Pacquiao gets made for May 5th, HBO has a big opportunity to add another great fight with its replay. No mismatches; give us something great like Saul Alvarez vs. James Kirkland (or Alfredo Angulo) or Juan Manuel Lopez vs. Nonito Donaire.
