Boxing is a joke, these “boxers” wouldn’t last a minute against an MMA fighter.

To each his own I guess.....

In support of boxing, none of those MMA guys would stand a chance in a ring against a skilled boxer such as Mayweather or the PacMan......

Boxing is an art form while MMA is nothing but grappling, wrestling and punching one in the head while on the floor. There's nothing artistic about that at all.......

I'd rather watch a video of Mohammed Ali against any of his opponents than this crap called MMA.......

He’s 38 years old and commanding this big of a payoff?

Mayweather has been avoiding Pacquiao for years until now when he thinks Pacquiao is at his weakest.

And rightfully so, Manny is too involved in the political life of the Phillipines since he's a Governor there.

As much as I love Pacquiao, I think Mayweather will win the fight........I hope I'm wrong.

Manny is actually a Congressman.

Manny hasn't knocked anyone out since he's been off the PEDs.

That's absolute bullshit and you know it! That was the excuse used by Mayweather back in 2012 when he tried to explain why he wouldn't fight Manny Pacquiao and was picked up by the rest of the MSM sports world .

In a response that eventually drew applause from his entourage, Mayweather once again said it is "basic common sense" that Pacquiao has used performance-enhancing drugs and getting in the ring with him would be a risk to his future health.

Floyd Mayweather Jr., the bling adorned expert on drugs...........LOL!

I’m expecting a complete dud, identical to the may weather-marquea snooze fest. Mayweather is taller and bigger than Pacquaio and will dance the entire time, keeping Manny out of range, and taking pot shots. I’ve already invested the money I’m not spending on this cure to insomnia.

I want to see Pacquaio win but if I were betting I'd take Mayweather. Mayweather is a bigger, more talented version of the counter-puncher Juan Manuel Marquez who has recently given Pacquaio fits.

I have not watched more than a half dozen matches in the last twenty years so I know nothing about either fighter.

But one thing has not changed and that is no one is at their best all of the time and in many cases that is what wins a fight between two fighters who are evenly matched.

Just saw the interview between Greta and Manny.

Greta: What kind of music do you listen to when training?

Manny: Christian inspirational

There is no question that the PacMan's Christian faith is what leads him in his life..........

I suspect that Mayweather will likely win the fight but you can't ignore the fact that Mayweather has deliberately been avoiding him for years.........
