I could be wrong but I think the fight sells itself that they wont bother spending an extra few million on a decent undercard.I remember may v de la hoya having a brutal undercard.

Agreed The undercard will be shyte

I expect people not to state speculation and opinion as fact.

It's a discussion forum. But I understand Floyd's fans are a little more sensitive than most.

I don't even like this video, but since you're so insistent on "fact", here's Floyd talking about why he wasn't keen on the Manny fight a few years ago.

Watching RTE News and not one mention of the fight! They really do care less about boxing don't they, the biggest fight in decades announced and they talk about feckin track cycling or something.

Yep. Floyd will spoil and throw single shots and then tie up and he'll get an ugly points decision.

Absolutely. I will probably record it and watch it the next day. The best pasrt of the event will be the OTT hype and build up.

I hadn't seen that, and after about 5 views (for deciphering purposes) it's absolute nonsense. All he had to do was watch JMM vs. Manny and he would have seen that Manny was human. When was the video shot? I am not sure why Floyd didn't want the Manny fight, but the whole I value my health, and I think Pacman poses a serious risk to it is crap. Floyd surely knows that his spoiling and ducking and holding and all around defense would allow him to protect himself sufficiently enough IF Manny really was this monster fighter.

Paully D · 22-02-2015 12:34pm

Mayweather to win by decision is 1/2 which says it all. Difficult to see any other outcome IMO.

Chrissybhoy · 22-02-2015 12:37pm

Wouldn't read to much into that video like the rest of his out if the ring stuff. Il Judge him in the ring and after the fight

Haven't a clue when it was shot tbh, I would imagine anytime between 2008-11 but yeah, he's talking total brown.

Boring stag with just one person walsh.
'Party of 20, thinking of staying in your fine establishment may 2nd, however we were wondering would ye be showing the biggest fight of the twentyfirst century in your bar'. would hurt to ask and iv done it before with success albeit not a 4am fight. Got a local pub to subscribe to boxnation for the month.
How ever we know he's camping now, so never mind I suppose.

Andrew Flexing · 23-02-2015 12:25am

Anyone else think that Pacman's high work rate might have him pinching rounds from Floyd and possibly nick a point decision?

Pacman isn't near as active as he used to be. Back in his prime, he could box for 12 rounds at a fierce pace. Not anymore. He takes breaks that last entire rounds.

The bottom line is that this fight will be terrible to watch. Despite Pacmans decline, Mayweather will still be scared sh*tless of being hit so he'll put on a masterclass of cheating and win ugly. I just cant see any other outcome here.

Everybody will pay for it, and then come away severely underwhelmed. The crowd will boo as Mayweather spends 12 rounds showing his back and ducking so low he can kiss the canvas and the people who paid for the PPV will feel hard done by. Everybody wants it, and yet everyone will end up hating it.

There was 2 of them in it avoiding the fight as they were getting guaranteed big pay days that could have been hindered by a loss, while both could stake a claim as been the best both would sell big, Floyd will destroy Manny now just like he would have back then, Manny doesn't deal with counter punchers and Floyd is the best, He made Marquez look like a novice and Marquez always troubled Manny

This will be a mid round KO for Floyd, mark my words.

Yes, but Marquez is an offensive fighting counter puncher. Floyd is not. I think Floyd will win, and a KO would not surprise me, but I reckon it's stinker of a fight, and probably close because of the fact that not much scoring will happen.

Edit: I would be a little surprised with KO win.
