Can I bet on how many wanna be rappers get shot this weekend instead of this fight?  It's just hard for me to get excited about 2 old 150lb. guys going at it.  They are both pussies in the real world.  Any in shape 200lb. guy could just take them to the ground and beat the crap out of them in a street fight.  Yawn.

So I guess you are falling for the hype?  Boxing is dead.  Mayweather and Pac aren't elite athletes.  Both are small, old and mentally soft since both are already set for life.  There have been some great boxing matches in the past with actual full sized men who were hungry.  This is a money grab, plain and simple.

Ok all of that may be true but I guarantee you they would beat the shit out of any untrained person on the street. That's what was stupid about your post. Say what you want but they fight for a living. I'm not overly excited for the fight I think it'll be a fairly one sided decision but I'll be watching on a free stream.

Anyone who thinks either of these two won't put on a good show are kidding themseleves.  I don't believe there will be a knock out.  I think both are beyond that capability at this point.  That said, this going to be a good fight 5 years late or not.

Because I understand the fight purse to be a 60/40 Mayweather/PacMan split.  I will go with the $$$.  Mayweather wins 60% of the rounds to PacMan's 40%.   Silly formula to go with but it makes sense to me and I actually believe the rounds will play out very simililarly.   Having a boxing party with some beers and tokin on some shisha through a Hooka!  Have a great fun safe weekend!  

 

Go Blue!

Whats shocking out of all these is how much some local bars are charging to watch it there..called a couple and i have gotten prices from $25-35 a person...i actually laughed at the guy when i heard the $35 one...seriously? I have watched PPV sports before at local bars and never got charged..just make reservations and drink until the event is over. To charge these kind of money for a boxing match is beyond crazy

Mayweather will dominate this fight (unless he's hit the wall since his last fight) and he would have won decisively years ago before the Pac losses (though back then I could have at least made some easy money betting on Floyd). My take is pretty much the same as if this fight was happening back when it would have been interesting...

When two elite fighters meet the edge always goes to the superior defensive fighter and technician. That's always been Floyd (arguably the best ever in that regard). I don't think people realize how much bigger Floyd is going to be in there either. Forget the stats... Just wait until they're in the ring. Pac will look strikingly smaller. Floyd made Mosley and Oscar look like they were fighting up a class or two. Those same guys made Pac look small and would have manhandled him in their primes.

FWIW I can't stand Floyd and I'd love to be wrong. But I think the smart money was on Floyd even before Pac's recent woes.
