Yeah, it is about time!

But I wonder just how good a fight it will be. Pacquiao just isn't up to his old standards these days.

 

[whitewolf8214]

May be good and let's hope they do the real stringent test for any drugs they may have in their system day before and after the fight!!

 

[Kraven]

Too late!

Good example why a lot of fight fans switched the the UFC.
White gives the fights the fans want to see..whereas there's too much politics and BS in boxing to make anythign happen.

Had this been 2009, it be the talk of the sports world. Now its just another dud like Lewis/Tyson (remember the security guards separating the fighters in the ring prior to the bell?

Manny doesnt have the offence anymore to knock Mayweather around. Money's going to jab, bob and weave to a unanimous decision.

Vegas odds: Mayweather 2.5-1 (-275 Mayweather, - 235 Paq)

 

[Ramy]

Way too late. They are just too old now.

 

[Scherrman]

I've been waiting for this fight for years and if you think they are too old I think you're wrong. If Mayweather is so old then why can't anyone beat him? Although, I get your point that it would have been a much better fight years ago. I really hope that Manny can take down Mayweather, I'm sick of him.

 

[madmadworld]

Talking heads and others who know nothing about boxing or $$ with BS about they should have done this 6 years ago. sure dumb butt the economy was in the tank they would have split 50 million total.
Money May knows his $$$$$$

Floyd doing his own promotion spells another 50 to 100 million more to him my guess.Manny worth 250 - 400 + million more in a trilogy. yummy money there lol

Mayweather 180 million Pacquiao 120 million are you kidding me... worth the wait for them.
tickets $100,000 each

@ Madworld: So Mayweather's been ducking Manny for years because of the economy?????

 

[Art7220]

Mayweather's economy is doing great so what does that mean?

TSN3 Canada will show the PressCon if you can't get SlingTV via VPN there.

 

[Art7220]

Hope the fight will be available on a streaming channel. Anyone know what the final price is?

 

[CK SatGuy]

The prices should be announced at or after the press conference.

They fight for $$ now the $$ @ it's maxim. is that really that hard to understand ?

[Scherrman]

That's not why Mayweather has been ducking this fight for years. Reality is he actually has a chance now to beat Pacquiao, nothing else.

 

[Kraven]

The prices should be announced at or after the press conference.

In a presser, analysts were talking about the PPV set at 99$.
f I were to watch this fight, I'd go to a sports bar instead and spend 30$ in total.

 

[madmadworld]

I hope you're being sarcastic.

He would beat him 10 years ago 5 years ago 2 months from now.
just the way it is. like him hate him.......... just give him the $$ lol
Poor Manny Millions could barely go with Juan Manuel Marquez 4 times not so much the 4th time, Floyd near shut him out. etc

Money wise both of them have done well without fighting each other.
do I think Floyd was smart enough to wait till the $$ got this big ? doesn't matter a dime what i think, he's done it.

[Rey]
