[Die_Miek]

The wait is over the fight the world has been crying for, for 6 years, is here!! Mayweather vs Pacquiao on may 2nd @ MGM Grand Las Vegas.

Can't wait.

 

[Hectic]

Whoop whoop!

For more than five years sports fans have clamored for a summit meeting between the two best fighters in the world, and after various failed negotiations -- and a protracted and difficult effort to make the fight in recent months -- they will get it on May 2 to unify the fighters' welterweight world titles at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

The showdown is a lock to be the richest in boxing history and will, barring a draw, settle the issue that has been debated for years: Who is the No. 1 fighter in boxing and who is the king of this era?

Chill aunty, and learn to tell the diffs between trolling and contributing to a discussion. If you've got something to add, by all means, otherwise you're wasting bandwidth.

If I was Mayweather I would not have agreed to this fight. Everyone who understands boxing knows Manny stands no chance and he knows it. It's unfair to hand a lesser boxer a free pass to us$80m. This is wrong. When Mayweather boxed the greats to make his name he came in as the inferior fighter and the split showed. This should've been 70-30 or worse in Mayweather's favour. These guys bullied his ego so much in public he folded just to shut them up. This has never been about who's better but a big paycheck for Bob Arum, and a rather broke Manny.

Manny stands more of just a chance my dear friend.

Oh how I laugh now thinking back at 50cent taking mayweather for a p&%s.

My money is on mr Pacquiao

Don't think the money distribution is based on who is more likely to win alone.

The reason why the purse is us$200m+ is 80% down to Mayweather(and a bit because of haters' desire for his unbeaten streak to end so he can be brought down to earth). In cricket India have been "subsiding" a lot of countries bacause marketing wise they are dominant. Now they are calling for their share. The only reason boxing is still relevant is because Mayweather still fights omce or twice a year. He's been earning lesser boxers money, and I think us$80m for Manny is a bit too far. He was dead&buried not too long ago. Kudos to Arum for repairing his marketability, but there's still three guys out there who can hurt Manny.

This going to be huge!

 

[rayven_king]

this will be a boxing clinic in defense and countering, I predict a frustrating night for manny

 

[Enzo Matrix]

Paqman said it may be his last fight. YEAH right, as if they havent planned in the obvious re-match yet

 

[Fulcrum29]

My money is on Mayweather. Pacquiao may be the best rated pound-by-pound boxer, but Mayweather can bite as hard as he can bark.

He's also more likely to have the judges in his pocket.

That can only be said with certainty on fight day.

 

[thestaggy]

Five years too late, especially on Manny's part. Mayweather wins and I would not be surprised if he wins via a boxing lesson.

 

[APoc184]

Floyd will win. As big of an a-hole as he is, he is still the smartest and most prepared boxer in the history of the sport.

But that doesn't mean I'm not going to cheer for Pacman all the way!
