    Anyone going to watch this long awaited fight? Boxing is a dying breed, but this should be on of the greats of all time. I'll be tuning in. Mayweather in a unanimous decision.

    This will be the last relevent boxing match of all time IMO. Boxing is dead. But this fight has life. The only two remaining fighters that anyone knows are fighting but both are old and done after this fight.


    You would think Mayweather would win.

    Guess it's good that it's happening but should of a couple years ago. Hopefully it'll be a good fight though. I gotta agree though boxing is pretty much irrelevant anymore.

    I can't wait. Kentucky Derby that night and Mayweather/Pacquaio Party that night. If I survive I get my doctorate the following week. Can't wait!

    Mayweather won't knock him out but it won't be close either. Mayweather in another unanimous decision.

    Although I think Mayweather will win... I want Pacquaio to take it.

    How this played out is why boxing is dead. If they fought in the beginning, each at their prime, there could've been several more fights after that.

    Mayweather will probably win because of how he fights but I will be more than delighted if he gets knocked out. Pacquaio had a better chance earlier in his career but I assume he has lost a step or two.

    used to love boxing years ago sugar Ray, Ali, foreman, Tyson etc ... Boxing to me is way more interesting, really like the light weights or middle weights more boxing less holding

    MMA or UFC fighting and the like either men or woman is barbaric and one step away from gladiators fighting to the death in ancient Rome...not that they fight to the death but you get the point.. I hope...

    I agree boxing will soon go the way of so many other sports they don't show on TV anymore..

    If Mayweather retires 50-0 does he go down as the best boxer ever? Would be a pretty incredible feat for sure...

    Floyd made $80 million on his last fight and probably $100+ million on this one coming up with 3-4 million PPV sales. I don't think it's as dead as some make it out to be... But like Golf with Tiger, it will take a big hit when he isn't at the peak anymore.

    Congrats on your doctorate!:beer:

    I don't think best ever but an incredible feat for sure....i look at guys like willie pep....he has knocked out more people than Mayweather has fought and he wasn't even really a knock out guy....things like that among others come to mind when I hear about Mayweather becoming the best ever...i have a hard time with the best ever question in boxing but Mayweather isn't in the running for me

    Funny made me think of the barber shop scene in coming to America.
