    Yo again this is like the superbowl of boxing

    Could you imagine if they did a promo during the superbowl

    they may have doubled whatever revenue they generated for this fight



    but as far as the fight is concerned, its whatever

    you are not going to satisfy ANYONE in this fight, regardless of the outcome


    Mayweather win, oh manny was over the hill, he didn't face the pacquiao that was at his best (which was after cotto)

    If somehow Pacquiao pulls a W out of his ass, they'll be like oh but mayweather was past his prime, you beat a 38 year old mayweather


    However you want to spin this fight, bragging rights don't exist for this fight


    Probably for those investors, promoters and maybe mayweather by finally saying he took care of pacquiao and he got the biggest purse in the sport's history


    Either way, this fight is finally happening and as a boxer, and a boxing fan

    Thank ? it is

    They're creating a special wbc belt for the fight

    in other words - more sanction fees in their pockets and confusion for the fans

    http://ringtv.craveonline.com/news/382043-provodnikov-on-matthysse-bout-90-percent-it-ends-in-knockout

    VL – When the fight ends, who do you envision will be one standing with his arm raised?

    Provodnikov – I cannot answer how I think this fight will end except to tell you that It will either be him or me that gets hurt and probably hurt very badly. I understand this and have come to accept that I might not be able to walk out of the ring on my own. That’s just one reality. I accept his challenge because it’s in my nature to do this and take this risk. I am confident in myself and my ability. My punches are shorter and faster than his. That’s my plus. I will keep this fight in short distance and catch him.

    Interview with Provodnikov. Good read. @ the bolded. This ? is ready to die in that ring with Matthysse. Shows the level of respect he has for Matthysse punching power.

    Mayweather Sr. newest poem lol

    People's been sayin' all along that Floyd didn't wanna fight 
    But they will all see on that night

    Floyd is guaranteed to excite, ignite, and rewrite history 
    There will be no question or mystery

    Manny might have lost his way
    After sleeping on the canvas the other day

    My son's future is very bright
    Manny's looks more like night night

    lol

    Cotto gets a voluntary defense first so its more than likely going to be Bradley

    You ain't going have a choice but to watch it on PPV

    The actual event not even for boxing fans really

    These ? making sure they break the revenue record

    Look at this pessimistic ass point of view.

    Even if after the tickets Floyd, Manny and Arum hold for themselves are all bought by scalpers at face value ? the record is going to be broken. So that ? you saying doesn't affect fans getting tickets or not.

    Floyd, Manny nor Arum gets any money off the resale mark-up the scalpers put on the tickets once they get them and put them on ? like stubhub. So once the tickets are bought by whom ever the record gets broken.

    I have 3 shots of getting tickets for face value or close to face value before I even have to think about buying a scalpers ticket.

    I'm just hoping one of those shots works out in my favor.

    Bruh I ain't even read past the 1st paragraph

    The tickets are not available to the public

    That's all that needs to be said

    Face value what they charging ain't worth it

    ? Cotto is the MAN at 160 after beating Martinez. Period. Newsflash ? : Mayweather already fought two 154 lber's who blew up in weight on fight night. Like I said, boxing fan first.

    You ? is pig headed as ? . Clearly I'm not talking about what best for the fighter. I shouldn't have to explain that as a fan o would love to see GGG vs Cotto, and Mayweather vs GGG, to boot. ? what you talking about.

    ? you forgot I ended up saying I would be in favor of that fight as well, just to see if Mayweather could pull it off.
