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.
