Pay per view starts at 9pm. This is the fight of the year.
Mayweather is probably the best fighter in boxing right now. It will be great to see how Oscar shows up for this; it may determine the rest of his career.
Right now tradebetx has it to win:
Mayweather -199
Hoya +170
It’s the sweet science. There’s no one to bail you out when you strike out, drop the ball and shoot that goal.
Oscar is getting loose, working the jaw and Floyd’s crew is praying.
Boy nothing beats the sights and sounds before a big fight like this.
This is going to be good stuff...I still say DeLaHoya’s going to take Mayweather apart.
I take it that the fighters are in the ring?
No they are getting ready to enter. Floyd’s posse was praying throughout the duration of the National Anthem. Maybe he’s not a loon after all.
They’re about to enter the ring. Do you still have access?
A SOMBRERO?
Are you watching it on PPV or hoping for the best with channelsurfing.com?
Okay totally bizarre. Floyd enters in a red, green and white robe. Then puts on a giant sombrero like he’s the Mexican fighter.
That’s only going to motivate Oscar more.
You’re out of your mind. If you were single I’d bet you to some fliry something, but I respect your position.
PPV; Apparently, the hat’s on backwards.
I really don’t like Mayweather.
These guys are great. Hopefully a long night for all! :-)
I hope you’re right about Oscar. Has Mayweather ever been hit? I think Oscar’s got the speed and the ring smarts to get respect from Mayweather.
DeLaHoya’s fighting for his legacy. Old guys are tricky when immortality is at stake. ;-)
No one in the Floyd posse knows the hat is backwards. Oscar looks determined and both fighters look to be in tremendous condition.
Hopefully Oscar can counter Floyd’s tremendous speed.
Mayweather did not start off with strength.
Yeah; he’s wearing the tilt in the front, instead of the back. I wonder if it’s on purpose?
There’s a ton of showmanship in that ring...I hope the fight lives up to the hype!
