Not that I would drop that kind of cash on a fight ticket anyway, but I'd be ticked off if I had to wait this long to be sure the fight was on and tickets were available before I could purchase my airfare. That said, I doubt there will be very many common folk in attendance. I think most of the tickets stayed in the Mayweather camp and the rest went to celebrities.

Re: Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao DEAL DONE
I know you're betting money on this fight but I still think Pac should be higher than an 8-5 underdog. At least 5-2. I know you're probably not putting anything on Pac winning by KO (TKO or disqualification), but they're only giving 4-1 odds on him stopping Mayweather? I would have expected that to be 7-1 or 8-1. Sure, some of these numbers reflect fan based dollars, but there's a lot of investment bucks here too. Hmmmm...
Mayweather is one of the smarter boxer ever and if I was Roach I would change my gameplan every 2 rds
rds 1-2 : box Mayweather, use faints throw 2-3 punch combos, go in and out side to side, with Pac speed, he can do that and rack up points
rds 3-4 : go balls to the wall, throw 5-7 punch combos
rds 5-6 : go back to fainting and in and out
etc..
If this is a close fight and every rds are hard to score, Pac will take it by split decision, they want a 2nd fight, I believe the rematch will be both fighters last fight.
I think this is a toss up fight, 50/50, anyone can win this fightLast edited by Law504; 04-23-2015, 02:05 PM.Comment

Re: Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao DEAL DONE
I have alot money riding on Pac, I have never bet against Floyd Mayweather ever, but I just have a feeling Roach and Pac will put together a gameplan that will confuse Mayweather.

Rounds 3-4 will get Manny killed.
That was Oscar's strategy and while it was effective, PBF has learned from it since then. And Manny's not going to have the strength advantage to push PBF to the ropes.
Rounds 5-6 The lead right will stop Manny from trying that fainting stuff. He'll be a sitting duck by then.
I honestly think PBF is going to discipline Manny. Not try to knock him out but just completely pummel him until Roach throws in the towel.
I think PBF struggles against big swingers. One hitter quitter guys. The guys who hurt him were Mosely, Cotto and Maidana. Manny is more compact with power and speed.
I think this will play out a lot like PBF's fight vs Arturo Gatti.Comment

Re: Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao DEAL DONE
Rounds 1-2 may work because PBF tends not to throw much during the first few rounds.

Re: Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao DEAL DONE
Eh, nah, i think that get's overblown. I feel like boxing heads should be able to appreciate all styles of boxing. I enjoy watching different fighters for different things, and i've never seen anyone with defense like mayweather, to me, a lot of his fights are entertaining. And whenever he fights in a more exciting style, people trash him for it(maidana 1, cotto etc) people say he doesn't look as sharp when he actually does stay in the pocket more and fight toe to toe.
Also, i'd definitely buy tickets for this fight if i had money like that, but then again if i had money like that i would be at a lot of fights.
I never criticized a style of boxing. I said most of Floyd's fights are boring. Even his struggle in "Maidana 1" would never be fight of the month, let alone fight of the year. Cotto was decent for a while, but the bottom line is Mayweather has been too good for the competition. If he has early problems (Mosley, Maidana, Judah) he adapts and then....ZZZZZZZZ. He's brilliant. He should be a bigger favorite in this one then he is. I just hope I'm thoroughly entertained, whoever prevails.Comment

Re: Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao DEAL DONE
I'm glad I can host a fight for the laborers working on my resort. Most of them are very poor and never seen a paquiao fight live. Now they'll see it on a big screen in HD. More excited for them than the actual fight.Comment

Re: Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao DEAL DONE
It's not about appreciating different styles of boxing. My favorite fighters over the years have been Ali, Foreman, Sugar Ray Leonard, Bob Foster, Pavlik, Sergio Martinez, Hearns, Monzon, etc. I lean a little toward the power side, but I can appreciate a good defensive fighter.

Re: Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao DEAL DONE
Ohh, you mean the actual fights themselves? I dunno man, i'd still say he's had some solid fights, cotto, ortiz, maidana 1, weren't bad fights. Hell even canelo,judah and hatton were entertaining decent. Now maidana 2, that was kinda dull, one of the few fights i just streamed.
Watching a mayweather fight delayed though, especially knowing the outcome is boring 9/10 times. That is simply not the case with a whole bunch of other fighters. It's why you could replay the corrales vs castillo fights a million times and still get viewers.Liquor in the front, poker in the rear.Comment

Re: Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao DEAL DONE
Leading into this fight, I'd still take Mayweather winning at least 9 rounds. Potentially losing a couple near the beginning of the fight feeling out Manny.--

Re: Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao DEAL DONE
I can definitely see "them" installing judges that will lean towards Manny in the decision because of the insane amount of money to be made in the rematches.
and it will probably go to decision because Mayweather hasnt knocked anyone out in over 10 years.Comment

Re: Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao DEAL DONE
These are very experienced judges. All have worked countless high profile championship fights, and nothing in their records indicate they have been selected to judge Manny to victory. You think Floyd and his guys would allow that?
This from Leonard Ellerbe of Mayweather Promotions:
“I can't believe it, but this is one thing Bob Arum and I do agree on: We're very pleased with the selection of the officials. I have no doubt the officials will be very fair in judging the fight and the referee will undoubtedly do a masterful job.”
