Two guys that made crazy amounts of money during their careers must of somehow spent damn near all of it so they need to do this BS. Crazy world we live in. The demise of boxing continues.

Who is this even for? Casual boxing fans who’re older dads now and already have Netflix?

At least we can be fairly sure there won’t be any testing and maybe get a decent performance out of them.

Does it go any different from the first fight? How did PAC look in the Barrios fight?

Boxing in the Internet era is bizarre indeed. So few names. So much money to throw at them.

The funny thing is. There's a very good chance this will wind up being a better fight than the 1st one. I mean...it wouldn't be that hard to top would it?

If they actually burned through all the money they made that's more of a comment about the economy or their excessive lifestyles. It's weird that they're doing it at the Sphere.

Internet casuals.

To them only 4 boxers ever existed. Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson.

Pac looked like he beat Barrios to me. I would've given it to him.

Wasn’t Pac pumping money into his home
Country and his political campaigns.

I wouldn't doubt it. Plus he always had an entourage about 30 deep.

tbf manny didnt look bad vs barrios, wouldnt have been too far fetched if he'd gotten the win and been a titlist again. i'd give him a much better chance here than i did for their first fight.

I’m on round 8 of it now, he’s really surprised me. He still has all the attributes you’re supposed to lose with age, and doesn’t seem to be doing much old-man stuff.

I’ll watch the last few Mayweather fights after this and get back to youse.

If it’s a pro fight, does that mean Floyd could lose a lot of unbeaten records and stats?

It means he could lose HIS unbeaten record. Wouldn't affect his stats really. Might affect his image by the slightest margin, but not nearly as much as it'll effect his bank account.

floyd is amazing and is an atg 50-0 or not, but the unbeaten record is defo part of the aura. he's had 50-0 as his name on social media, on his merch,....its part of his brand. it would give him a significant hit to his reputation among casuals i think. as educated fans we all know though that at this age the fight really shouldnt mean jack as far as quality of career.

the fight itself will prob stink it out, but do i dare say it's actually an interesting matchup? with manny looking still pretty handy last time and floyd not having had a real fight in years, seems more competitive than it did the first time, i was sure floyd would win that

If he goes 51-0 isn’t that the best record? Who else is close, Ricardo Lopez?

1 fight could never do all that much damage to your legacy really, but like you said it would hurt his Aura and his "Brand". It wouldn't hurt him much among the educated Boxing folk.

Floyd already has the most wins without a loss of any fighter ever I think. Other people have had gone further than 50-0 in the past, but they wound up losing before they retired.

And now he's putting his 0 at risk again.

Lopez is 50-0-1

Marciano was 49-0, Joe Calzaghe was 46-0, Terence Crawford 42-0.

This is what i started to think. It’s a bit of a mad thought to say this might be a good fight.

If Pacman wins, which is very possible, a lot changes in terms of how people will rate them looking back

It won't affect how I rate them looking back. Pacquiao is too far ahead. I would've always had Floyd ahead of him until recently when I went back and watched all available fights of both of them.

It wouldn't be the most shocking thing though if it turned out to be a better fight. Tim Witherspoon vs Greg Page 2 when they were old men was WAY better than the fight they had for the title when they were much younger.

For a guy like Floyd especially, getting older is going to mean getting hit more often.

Hindsight is a crazy thing. I’ve always, always been more Floyd, but it might depend on your age as well.


This is not take anything away from Floyd or Pacquiao for any of us here, but it will forever be brought up as a stat.

I remember Nigel and Senior being in serious talks to have a third fight when both men were in their early 50s and the prospect of this happening was met with general outrage and concern that two old men were potentially gonna do something so daft.

Fast forward the best part of a decade and the sporting public seems perfectly happy with such events taking place. Have people become more stupid or just less caring ?

Now this is interesting. I’m sure the exact order is different for every fighter, but age takes certain things first. The “power is the last thing to go” shout is a proper boxing cliche
