It may bee three years late, with both men past their prime, but this is undoubtedly the biggest fight irrespective of sport in a generation. Biggest since Tyson-Lewis. And will be bigger.

Floyd will run and Manny will chase. If Manny can cut off the ring and put pressure on Floyd it could be a short night for Floyd. I'm not a fan of either guy but for this one I will root for the guy who doesn't beat women



And doesn't walk to the ring with Justin Bieber

Would like to see Pac win, but I know Mayweather's gonna have a 26 ft. ring and you know he's gonna use every bit of that real estate. Pac's gas tank hasn't looked as good over the last couple years, so I figure he'll be too tired to turn up the pressure and loses 116-112.

Love PAC man, but I think Floyd will be too technical for him at this point in his career.

The fights already set in Vegas, though I think they are still hashing out what venue it will be at.

It's at the MGM Grand, according to ESPN.  http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/12355361/floyd-mayweather-announces-fight-manny-pacquiao-set-2

And according to this, the MGM Grand sold out in 15 minutes (although it sounds like they're talking hotel rooms.  I doubt tickets went on sale yet.

Isn't UFC 187 the following weekend?  I haven't purchased a PPV for boxing in nearly 20 years.  I maybe stream one fight per year.  If this actually goes down, I will be buying back to back PPV's

187 is at the end of the month. 3 weekends after Mayweather/Pacman.

I'm not a big fan of either of these guys, and I don't really follow boxing, but I'm rooting for Pac-Man hard here.

Floyd being Floyd, fighting every name that's mentioned with a remote chance of beating him after said chance is gone so he can "answer" his criticizers saying that he fought the best.

Hope Manny has one last real Pacman fight in him and manages to pull it off but seriously doubt it.

I'm not even saying prime Manny would've beaten him but would loved to have seen "him" try.

For the most part the sweet science can suck my **** nowadays. It's boring. Here's a detailed breakdown of what's going to happen: Philly shell, head movement, fast little combos from Mayweather. Pacquiao's too old and not on enough drugs to win this fight. I hope Pacquiao brings a bat and kills Lil Wayne, Justin Bieber, whoever else walks out with Floyd Mayweather, and then Floyd himself. A guy can dream can't he? That's the only way this is a superfight or dream fight for me; Pacquiao kills two celebrities and then his opponent with a bat and then runs around the stadium clubbing civilians while screaming "ROID RAGE". I'd stream that. Let both of these guys fight a Klitschko brother at the same time.


That's my analysis and breakdown of this fight. Consider me Bert ******' Sugar.

@SoccerKick

It definitely won't be worth the money. I can already see the complaints about how anti-climactic it was afterwards.

Easy decision for Money unless the NSAC feels like ruining his special night.
