Yeah I don't think it'll be before 5am either. Some people on Twitter saying 3.45am ring walks, which I sincerely doubt. Floyd likes the pageantry. I think it was the Victor Ortiz fight when it didn't kick off til about 6am? I could be getting those mixed up though.

Sky mentioned earlier that the earliest the ring walks will start will be 3:45 so any time after that depending on the undercard

Popcorn purchased. Cans purchased now to sort the bets

Transmission in some sites is announced to start at 215 and 300 for the undercards, 400 for the main event.

I have my alarm set at 415 now, may move it to 4.

With advertising etc the ring walks wont be earlier then 4am our time... So they say

If mayweather plays his usual game I'm thinking it could be a fairly dull encounter than what everyone is expecting. Hopefully not

I think Mayweather will need to up his output tonight or risk losing rounds due to Manny's aggression, the only way I see it being dull is if Manny can't find a way to close the distance and Mayweather builds up a lead going into the 2nd half of the fight.

Cmon Floyd!

Any good undercards to look out for?

It's a pathetic undercard. No competitive fights at all but Lomachenko is a joy to watch, even if he's going to dominate his over matched opponent.

Leo Santa Cruz is fighting another soft touch but from an Irish perspective, he's a potential opponent for Carl Frampton so that may bring some interest for some here.

I hope I don't get so pissed I wake up and have to check who won online as I can't remember because I was langers. It's happened a few times doing late ones for American fights.

Great to see the forum so busy. This fight could bring some new regulars, it can be a bit quiet here at times.

I think Mayweather will, but I now want Pacquiao to win- largely cos he's not a scumbag

Yes. Another had 10/1 for it not to go the distance but I messed up reg

First fight I'll get up for probably since Tysons reign.

Excited by this one albeit 3 or 4 years too late.

What do you mean by this so, may I ask?...from the thread " Poll on who you want to win, not who you think wins:"

Mayweather, he is an unbelievably talented boxer

It's ok to comment to say how great somebody is with out wanting them to win.


Mayweather is incredible. 47-0 for a reason, that doesn't mean people want him to win.

I did want him to win up until this week. Pacquiao getting the woman a death row pardon swung it for me

Mayweather is still the better boxer mind

Ah that clears it up...was wondering as I knew you always came across as more of a Floyd fan.

What time do we reckon this will start? What I've heard so far ranges from 3.45 to 5.00. I know its dependent on previous fights but what the likely or earliest possible start?

magma69

My nerves are kicking in already.

The Diabolical Monocle

If I saunter into the local around 14:00 tomorrow is there a chance to catch a replay ??

3:45 is the earliest possible start time according to Sky, more likely to be 4 - 4:30

Bets placed,lets go!

Will there be a separate fight thread?

Stinicker

I hope Pacman wins this, there is an entire nation in the Philippines riding on him, as someone who's been there I can empathise with his story. I really hope he downs this arrogant mayweather, Pacman gives his money to charity, mayweather boasts about it on social media. I hope Pacman knocks him out on the first round. Go manny Go

I hope fooking not. Head is fried trying to keep pace with the Myweather-Pacman comments across the numerous threads we already have.
