yeah but i was close beaing the #1. as soon as i saw on espn that it was a made deal, i was on my way to boxrec...but too late....happens.....

what do you think will happen tiny?

i think, pac wins, because of high workrate. sad thing is, i am not quiet sure how exactly pac would win. if he keep the workrate high than he still gets blasted with some counters. if he fights from the defence, from outside, with quick in and out, like against oscar, than i ask myself does he catch floyd. i mean for floyd it aint easy too. because he will be in the ring with somebody who matches his speed and is more powerful than himself and equaly athletic. will realy be interrestinghow it plays out. but i dont see anybody dominating anybody, i see the fight is gonne play out close.

I like both fighters. All I hope for is a good fight with fair legitimate judging.
I am leaning towards Floyd,but nothing will surprise me.They are the 2 best of the
generation.

Well finally everyone gets what they wanted.
This is going to be an extravaganza of epic proportions.

Is this real life?

Great for the sport.

I wonder if they'll stack the card? Would have to imagine there won't be much money left to put together anything to good

The PPV is supposed to have 3 fights. Floyd vs Manny. A TR fight (rumored to be involving Vasyl) & a Mayweather Promotions fight (I think its possible Anthony Dirrell vs Badou Jack could be the fight, but J'Leon Love, a Floyd favorite, has nothing scheduled that I'm aware of so idk).

[Perseus]

$89.95 for the ppv??

WTF??

I will not buy it at that price and I hope the casual fans pass on it too.

[ReggieDiggs]

Seeing reports already that Canelo vs Kirkland will be pushed back a week to May 9 as expected.

[ReggieDiggs]

Freddie got jokes. He's been saving this one I know it lol.

Roach: "Floyd should enjoy being the A-Side while he can because on May 2 Manny is going to put him on his backside,"

[klitoris]

Lomachenko - Vetyeka probably gonna be on the under-card.

[Badhusker]

All I can say is that Floyd should get 100% of the blame for this fight happening.

You are not a boxing fan.

I'll go to Hooter's to watch it.If I am going to be out $100 I at least want wings and beer

[Bradley001]

I can't wait

All I can say is that Floyd should get 100% of the blame for this fight happening 5 years too late.

Ftfy.

Floyd fans, always gotta be little bitches huh.

[Monte Fisto]

when are tix on sale?? any intel or people selling tickets, let me know. much appreciated.

[caldo2025]

I've been checking ESPN for updates about this fight every 10 minutes for the last 5 weeks. Then there it was yesterday, staring right back at me, what a great way to start the weekend. Anyone bitching about spending $100 to watch a fight like this should find another sport to watch. Bitches. Get a couple friends to pitch in some money ya cheap bastards or go watch soccer.

[handsofstone]

Yes does this mean I can expect dozens more Mayweather/Pacquiao threads

we could send you personal letters on it hos. you love it DD

[Badhusker]

There will always be people that complain about the timing of the fight. If it was June instead of May people would complain. If it was scheduled in September some would go crazy. Personally I am just thankful it is happening.

They are still at the top of the welterweight division, and it should be a good fight. Hopefully, no matter who wins, I hope it isn't too close, and both retire afterwards.

At least all of the Floyd/Manny threads now will be about an actual fight instead of everyone fantasizing. Let the smack talk begin. (or continue)
