    The Mayweather Pacquiao these two need to get it on already. Honestly I feel Mayweather is ducking the fight. Yet for all of his ability I really believe Pacquiao is going to punch his ticket.

    Lol may weather has never been beat.... Never got very close to it even sans one or two times.

    Pac man was offered the highest payout of a fight for his career and wouldn't take it. Love him or hate him, money may weather is a genius for how he took over the sport. He controls everything including who gets paid what. Sadly it's all about the money on this one when it comes to him.

    I can't really stand the guy but I think he'd destroy PAC man just as he has done the previous 42 fights he was in

    Hatton, Dela Hoya, and Mosely slowed Money Mayweather with early straight shots or right hook. But they all didn't capitalize on those hits.

    Mayweather held Mosley's arm preventing him from follow up shots. Pacquiao with have to hit hard and fast and keep the pressure on if he don't it will go to a decision....

    that will lead up to another big payday rematch fight.

    i've grown up lucky enough to see some of the greatest fighters of all time. being related to a heavyweight champ of the world, boxing has always been in my blood. i can honestly say this card would be the spark that USA boxing has needed for years. too few programs are out there for kids and in our evergrowing "everyone gets a trophy society" its not looking good. if they can figure out the money this fight could get done. anyone out there who likes boxing please check out HBO's special on Freddy Roach. its a great series and i promise you will feel like you "know" Freddy on a personal level having watched it.

    Its too bad boxing is dead/dying. MMA is garbage.

    I agree with Trevor. Mayweather may act like a clown quite often, but the man is pretty smart when it comes to his career. He might not just be the best fighter of all time in the ring, but the best self promoter/manager. Every time this fight doesn't happen, it increases the amount of money they will make if it does.

    I agree, as a huge fan of boxing money may is the best self promoter of all time and has some of the best technical ability I have ever seen. The greatest, nah, to weak as far as competition in every division since he came in, beat alot of guys on their way out and just simply wont get in the ring with paq...now as devils advacate, paq is supposed to be the phillipino warrior, peoples champ, scared of nothing etc...and the can't seem to get it on for better than 50 million a piece...I think both are scared to loose for the sole fact their legacy in todays era would be tarnished. paq simply cannot afford to loose to maywether, and maywether simply cannot afford to loose period...strictly speaking of a lagacy, obviously not money.

    Don Kings, HBO, Pay per view and the like destroyed boxing years ago. The boxers just haven't realized it yet. it's a sad shell of it's previous stature. I could care less and don't care who's doing what to who or when. May they all be whipped by their wives.
