It's a setup.
They will go the distance and there will be an extremely unpopular decision. That will set them up for 2 more rematches. That way both fighters can clear some really big money before they both retire. |

Manny has his work cut out for him, but if anyone out there has the speed to get to Mayweather - it's him.
Pulling for a Pacquiao knockout, however unlikely. |

Pacquiao will get knocked out mid fight, 5 or 6th round. He's way past his prime, too distracted by outside crap, Mayweather is too talented, despite being a prick. Think of how Clay was, super talented; a natural, and egotistical. |

Imma go with Mayweather back peddling for all the rounds while dipping his shoulder and slipping punches. Pacman will do his best but in the end decision unanimous to Floyd.
Very much would like to see Pacquiao score the KO...I just don't see it happening. Probably won't bother to catch it and just read about it the next day |

No, I am a boxing fan who's been watching both fighters since they hit the scene. I told everyone about when Pacquiao would lose his first fight, and he did - just like when de la hoya did by getting distracted by singing/politics all that crap. I've always liked both fighters, but to say Pacquiao can win, well get off the kool aid. |

No, I am a boxing fan.... I stopped reading right there. Mayweather's KO to UD ratio is one of the lowest in the sport. The only two guys he's knockout in the last 10 years is Victor Ortiz (sucker punch knockout - shouldn't even count for discussion's sake), and glass-jaw Ricky Hatton. He's not gonna KO Pacman, barring luck. (anyone that watches boxing knows that...) Floyd has shown some weakness lately, (Miguel Cotto fight comes to mind) and Pacquiao is still probably the most talented offensive fighter in the sport. Floyd wins only by running away, dodging punches, and throwing "technical punches" for points the entire fight....take it to the bank. |

And fastest. I've watched all of his fights, and saw how his defense has degraded quickly when he started doing all of that singing bullshit. He went down the path of de la hoya, and guess where de la hoya is now. You can't tell me his bell hasn't been rung by fighters less on par than floyd. floyd looks for that more than normal. Yes, he's a defensive boxer, but I can't honestly say he 'runs away' from a good fight. And Cotto, I was hoping he would've beat mayweather. |

If this fight would have happened when manny was in his prime, manny would win no doubt about it,
But after manny started doing all kinds of other activities outside of boxing he lost his edge. Mayweather will jump around and throw a bunch of soft punched for points, and in the end will be a split decision for mayweather.. No knockouts will happen in this fight.. |

I was reading the contract stipulations. There appears to be absolutely no advantage for Pacquiao, other than he is allowed to use his preferred brand of glove. Venue, purse, billing, even the effing dressing rooms are all the choice of Mayweather's camp. And of course, when Manny wanted the fight at Cowboy Stadium, I quote from Wikipedia, " Mayweather had no interest in fighting in Texas." No shit.
I hope Manny knocks that USD$25000 mouthguard of Mayweather's clean out of the ring. |

You gotta be mentally unstable to pay 90 bucks to go watch Floyd avoid punches against a dude who passed his prime 8 years ago. This will be one of, if not the easiest 'fight' Floyd has had in years. The only way he loses is the less than 1% chance he got old over night and has completely lost his legs. ETA- and to show I'll put my money where my mouth is...

Hearns didn't lose that fight due to lack of effort even though he was ko'ed in the third round. Hagler was a beast. Its why sugar ray gave hagler everything he wanted, just give him the bigger ring. In the foreman fight, it looked like he knock Ali out a few times. Hence why the banned rope a dope. I don't think foreman went over 2 rounds in his career before Ali. |

For all the 'rope a dope' talk and Ali's impregnable defense...George beat his ass until he gassed out. He literally wore himself out beating Ali nearly to death. Which probably explains the condition both men are in today (george is a little sharper). Haggler was always underrated, Hearns was always a little overrated. It made for a fantastic 3 rounds of action that could've went either way.
Any of those 4 men mentioned would knock Mayweather out in the first....but Pac won't. I tell you what. Save your $100. Just send me $50 and I'll go beat up an old bum with shot legs and a shot chin. |

One more thing I like about Manny: The fight will be broadcast in the Philippines live simultaneously on all 3 major broadcast TV networks, as well as on Solar and the networks' cable affiliates. Talk about giving back to the people, rather than trying to pad your pockets:
Again, per Wikipedia: In the Philippines, Solar Entertainment - the proprietor of broadcasts of Manny Pacquiao's bouts since 2003 - announced an unprecedented deal to simultaneously air the bout on the free-to-air terrestrial television networks GMA Network, ABS-CBN and, TV5, as well as on its own cable platforms. Solar Entertainment reportedly paid Top Rank and Mayweather Promotions $10 million (PHP 440 million) to win the broadcast rights for the Philippines. Prior to this joint terrestrial broadcast, GMA Network solely aired Pacquiao's bouts since 2007 (ABS-CBN, before 2007), with TV5 airing replays through its sports programming block, AKTV, since 2011 until 2013.[40] This is the second time that Big Three networks will air this event simultaneously since "Dolphy: Alay Tawa TV special in 2012. |

One more thing I like about Manny: The fight will be broadcast in the Philippines live simultaneously on all 3 major broadcast TV networks, as well as on Solar and the networks' cable affiliates. Talk about giving back to the people, rather than trying to pad your pockets: Again, per Wikipedia: In the Philippines, Solar Entertainment - the proprietor of broadcasts of Manny Pacquiao's bouts since 2003 - announced an unprecedented deal to simultaneously air the bout on the free-to-air terrestrial television networks GMA Network, ABS-CBN and, TV5, as well as on its own cable platforms. Solar Entertainment reportedly paid Top Rank and Mayweather Promotions $10 million (PHP 440 million) to win the broadcast rights for the Philippines. Prior to this joint terrestrial broadcast, GMA Network solely aired Pacquiao's bouts since 2007 (ABS-CBN, before 2007), with TV5 airing replays through its sports programming block, AKTV, since 2011 until 2013.[40] This is the second time that Big Three networks will air this event simultaneously since "Dolphy: Alay Tawa TV special in 2012. I want Pac to beat Moneymays ass, and this is just another reason. Thanks for that information. What a different conversation this would be if the fight taking place in say 2008. Of course there's a reason Mayweather wouldn't agree to a fight back then. Fear. |
