Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[Caught Square]

I doubt it gets announced during this all-star game, why would he announce it during that anyway?

It'll be a random day at a random time this week.

deal is nearing finish line one way or other but 2 sources involved said it is NOT done at this point.

dan is not so pessimistic so i guess that's a good sign.

That clause is often in place for the fighter who earns more money. Didn't you see Manny v Algieiri?

To expect you to know anything about the sport is asking way too much.

The Big Dunn is the Big Simpleton. Comparing Pac to Algieri, really?

[mrpizza-nd_beer]

Right. Manny's the only "very confident" one.

Do y'all really believe the stuff y'all say? Or its it for show?

Go back to all the youtube videos of both fighters. Who stammers and stutters? Who just laughs it off and gives the vibe "don't worry?"

Floyd's the nervous one. Even Ben Floydhype is nervous about the fight now making suggestions how Floyd should change his game to be able to beat Pacquiao. Now that is something.

Floyd has lost a step so there's a good chance pac beats him this time due to calculated & consistent aggression. The Floyd who beats Judah will beat pac, IMO

Up until 2014 I thought Floyd took this easy. But, seeing what a battle he had againstMaidana tells me that Manny's awkwardness combined with the fact that he's far faster and more talented that Maidana, makes me see a decision in favor of Pac. I think Pac will drop him at some point but Mayweather is not getting knocked out. He'll clinch or run before he ever gets knocked out.

What TV network do they show the NBA All Star game on? I'm not from the USA so i have no idea but is it any network affiliated with Floyd's showtime contract?

People were saying they might announce it at Superbowl but plenty said they wouldn't because it was a rival network or something. So just wondering thats all...

Its on TNT, which is owned by the same parent company as HBO.

As a neutral, i think this fight could be a stinker with Floyd just outboxing him to clear decision.
