Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight thread!!!

B in ALB : 5/2/2015 7:57 pm
Can't believe it's here folks. It's almost surreal. Maybe a few years later but still. PfP immortality on the line tonight. As is Mayweather and his undefeated record. I really hope it lives up to the hype. Rarely do events like this satisfy the masses.

In rooting for Manny.

HBO is running a pre fight special at 8p.

Would love to see Manny win

But Floyd dodged him long enough that I think its going to be real tough for that to happen
I'm not a huge boxing fan, but  
Jerz44 : 5/2/2015 8:09 pm : link
is PacMan really considered one of the best of all time like mayweather?

I don't really understand the background of what makes this match so huge, I guess.

Time will this fight start approx?

MookGiants : 5/2/2015 8:10 pm : link

love how the fight taking longer  
hitdog42 : 5/2/2015 8:13 pm : link
somehow helps the older fighter that relies on speed and defense.
I'm rooting for Pacquiao because  
MaineGiantFan : 5/2/2015 8:15 pm : link
1.) Mayweather an epic douche
2.) If Marciano's record is to be broken I'd rather it not be Mayweather whom does it
looks like 65% of the universe wants Pac Man to win  
idiotsavant : 5/2/2015 8:23 pm : link
and 70% thinks Mayweather takes it.
Anyone got a good stream link??

yeah, any links to a feed

How would either of the two have done against a young Roberto Duran?

Mayweather's not a heavyweight so even if Floyd breaks it, it gets an asterisk and Marciano still has the record IMO.
great

good luck to Pacman. I 'll be sleeping by now though

I completely agree but good luck telling that to Mayweather
What difference does it make  
BlackLight : 5/2/2015 9:46 pm : link
whether Floyd is a heavyweight or not with regard to the record?

Wow, this Lomochenko guy

Cable not working for the fight they just ordered. Time Warner in NYC. Can't even get through on the phone. Plenty of people on Twitter are saying the same things, with multiple providers.
Roberto Duran at his best would....

eat Floyd alive. Probably beat PacMan too, although that would be a great one.

says he'd never a fight on a couple days notice (as Rodriguez did). But he did do that against Klitshko.

I don't know about that. He no mas'd when SRL boxed and moved.
Sugar Ray Leonard vs Mayweather  
PA Giant Fan : 5/2/2015 10:18 pm : link
Would be incredible.
Sugar Ray would have beaten Floyd too.  
Crispino : 5/2/2015 10:29 pm : link
Both Duran and Sugar Ray were more powerful hitters than Floyd and were his equal defensively.
Obviously just my opinion, based ...  
Crispino : 5/2/2015 10:32 pm : link
on having seen them all. When Duran was in his prime, at his natural size at lightweight, he was the best fighter I ever saw.
Boxing  
PaulN : 5/2/2015 10:47 pm : link
Is garbage now, none of the great athlete's are bothering with this corrupt total bullshit entertainment. The fighter's like Duran and Leonard and Hearns would have destroyed Mayweather who is GARBAGE and lucky he is fighting nobody's. I hate to tell it like it is to those who love the sport, because it COUYLD be a great sport, and at one time it was, possibly the greatest sport of all the sports at one time. That day is long gone.
When does round one start? 11:30pm ET?  
SGMen : 5/2/2015 11:03 pm : link
I am not going to my pal's to see it so any in-between rounds play by play would be appreciated! :)
Anyone have a link for this

Lol. No mas
Crispino  
Bill2 : 5/2/2015 11:10 pm : link
Agreed. I don't see Mayweather or PacMan taking Duran.

chris. I don't think "Boxing" had much to do with why Duran said no mas.

I think First Row Sports broke down

He said he had stomach issues, right? Was that generally accepted to be true or an excuse in the aftermath?

oh well. bed time.
but in any case when SRL decided to box  
chris r : 5/2/2015 11:15 pm : link
the second fight instead of showing he could go toe to toe, he was beating Duran comprehensively. SRL was a better offensive fighter than Floyd, but Floyd was similarly athletic and a better defensive fighter.

Thanks! Which channel is the best?
I think Duran quit in the second Leonard fight out of frustration.  
Crispino : 5/2/2015 11:20 pm : link
He beat Leonard the first time, and Leonard fought smarter the second time. He hit and ran and it frustrated Duran that he wouldn't stand and fight. It was a smart game plan by Ray, and a rash decision by Duran that he never lived down.
Ugh. Found a great channel, but I can't get rid of this Java Update

Around midnight. They need to do their little entrances
It's pretty amazing to think  
BlackLight : 5/2/2015 11:34 pm : link
that the World Welterweight Championship is on the line in this fight, and perceptually, it couldn't be less important.
Isn't it supposed to be PPV only? What it the link from?
