OFFICIAL MAYWEATHER V. PACQUIAO FIGHT THREAD | MAY 2ND @ MGM GRAND | HBOxSHOWTIME PPV

[you go boy]

still contemplating if i should watch the fight with the fam at the crib or go to a friends house and watch it... still dont know what my friends are doing though... it just sucks that i have to pay to watch it at their place...if i had it at my place i wouldnt charge anyone but then again im different...i keep counting down the days for this fight

 

[Fozz]

Sad thing is, pac man and roach doing all this talking gonna wake up the beast inside Floyd

Yeah, sadly, I agree this may happen. But I am suprised how quiet Floyd has been as well...I would have assumed he'd be going off by now.

Word on the street is that pac is sparring with erislandy lara. Even though he is a southpaw, I like his exit strategy. He is slightly taller than floyd and has longer reach. Could help Pac prepare for floyd running around  and work on how to cut the ring off better.

edit: Just saw that Manny confirmed it in a video interview from youtube

The disaster that is Mayweather Promotions/Haymon handling of May 2 is the greatest development for boxing fans this year

No Deal with cable/satellite providers.... Greater leverage for the providers as day gets closer
— Matt Swider (@InSwiderBox) April 9, 2015

Ultimately it all leads to.... Fight still happening(win for fans). Less revenue for the stick up artists behind it (win for fans)

As long as the fight is still happening, that's all that matters.

Clean up in this thread is much quicker now.

I've called it since the fight was signed. I knew they were going to work on that right hook over the jab. I just knew it.

Apparently Pac's been using that right in sparring so much that Roach only wanted him to use only the left hand in sparring recently. The muscle memory is embedded already.

Roach really wanted to emphasize technique in the camp.

Don't see how/why people are thinking Pac is REALLY GOING TO HURT or KNOCKOUT May! He hasn't knocked out anyone in 6 years and I don't even recall when the last time he REALLY HURT anyone? On top of all t hat, May can take a punch.

I don't think either one of these guys can really knock the other out, honestly.

Because grabbing on to Mosley for dear life is "taking a punch"

It seems like the best thing to do is counter ridiculous statements indirectly with more ridiculous statements.

I'm told the televised undercard fight that Floyd is responsible for putting on the #MayweatherPacquiao PPV will involve Leo Santa Cruz.

Floyd definitely showed me his chin was legit when Chino caught him with that right hand counter at the end of Round 3 in the second fight. That shot would dropped most welterweights IMO. Floyd had to grab Mosley because he got caught with two good shots, was hurt and was surprised he got caught like that. I think Floyd has an above average chin nevertheless.
