I'd prefer Manny, but I think Mayweather will win.
Your opinions?
Las Vegas.
No clue but the purse money is ASTOUNDING! (at least to me)
The fight promoter.
I don’t really follow baseball.
The more I listen to Mayweather, the more I lean to Pacquiao!
Yep, the promoters, odds makers, PPV network, and the bookies. And somewhere, the Chicago Outfit/Mafia (who’ve never left Vegas) get their skim.
me either, but I did have to watch that video of the girl being hit in the head with the foul ball last night. bless her, she’s fine now but whoda thunk it would happen like that.
I am for Manny but if I were to bet, it would be hard to bet against Mayweather. I always pick with my heart over the mind unfortunately. So, I will say Mayweather.
The winner...the old WHITE guy that owns it all.
The fight would have been interesting 6 years ago when they were in their prime. Now it’s just another sad tale in why boxing is dieing.
I've heard others say this and I guess it is true. Still gets a big "fight of the century" billing from obviously, promoters and the like. There are a few boxing websites I have read. They seem to be excited by it.
And it is the “big fight of the century”, which is kind of why nobody cares about boxing anymore. Now that they’re both over the hill, out of shape, and holding no titles they finally have this fight, and it’s the biggest fight in ages. The egos have killed the sport, nobody near the top of the sport is willing to fight more than every other year, and they all want mega paydays, and the correct number of whores in the locker room. Meanwhile they can’t be bothered to notice that MMA is making more money because those fighters actually fight. In the old days when boxers actually fought this would be Pacquiao v Mayweather III, and they’d have each had half a dozen fights since 2.
Pacquiao excels at the long game. If he can dodge Mayweather's early blows, I think he'll stay on his feet as Mayweather tires. This should be his strategy.. Long game Mayweather into tiring. Then Pacquiao can win.
Pacquiao is a man of God. Prays in the ring. Very humble. Very gracious. I'm rooting for him against the thug all the way, even though I think his chances aren't good.
Things will be crazy in the Philippines! LOL
Obviously the world wants Paquiao to win. Mayweather is an arrogant smug racist hood rat thug. Paquiao always presents himself as a gentleman and sportsman.
Pacquiao will win IMHO
The company collecting on the Pay-Per-View basis.
P.S. At the end of the Pacquiao/De La Cruz fight, Cruz’s face was TRASHED and they had to call the fight. Pacquiao’s face wasn’t touched. NOT A SINGLE SCRATCH OR ABRASION. Unbelievable. You’d never known he was in a fight!
