|||THE OFFICIAL||| Discussion thread: Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao

???

 

Just over 4 hours from now apparently, 4:00am GMT.

 

STFU LOK! Fraud can't even stop a jab. And he never beat any great fighters in their primes. He got Oscar and Shane and Cotto when all 3 were shells of themselves. LMAO!

 

Probably between 10:30 and 11:30 EST.

 

The fight will NOT start before 11PM...that is the report...the undercard can end both in first round KO....the MAIN EVENT wont start till 11

 

Of course he was fucking impressive!!!!! I never said he wasn't.

Fucking calm down Rothschild you are getting all uppity on the big night.

 

WHat's the undercard like Daniel???

 

Nar man, not at all. I just don't think you're making any sense.

If you're picking Floyd and think Manny has no chance, fair enough, I just think Algieri is the worst possible example you could have used. A better example would be his mighty struggles with Marquez, then getting KTFO by Marquez.

But Algieri? He looked as good as I've seen anyone look against such a hideous, negative runner. Barring knocking him out, and taking no punches at all, he couldn't have looked much better against a horrible style that is historically difficult to look good against.

As it happens, Pacquiao's excellent footspeed and footwork, combined with his unpredictable, fast, straight punches - do pretty fucking well against runners.

 

The undercard is a joke, but I'm going there at about 2:00 when the card starts anyway, just to get hype, and have a few drinks.

 

The only thing I am drawing from the Algieri fight is that Manny either could not or did not or would not PUT HIS MAN AWAY! :truce:

 

God, 8 more rounds of this? Both these guys blow. If Jiminez can punch at all he's gonna ko this guy with a left hook. He's hardly thrown a punch so far tho

 

The PPV has already started Hut?

Maybe I should just go down there now.

Sorry about the sound quality.

The Americans got fucked on price, but we got fucked on commentators and pundits.

 

Betfair offering 3/1 on Pac and 8/1 on mayweather if you join now?

 

Las vegas literally looks like hell on earth. i'd rather live in Basra

 

They got ISIS in Basra.......

 

Fair point.

 

I'm going there for my birthday in June. :) I'm pretty sure Basra doesn't have the same amount of gambling, all you can eat buffets, free drinks, drugs, whores, and loose girls in general. I wouldn't live there but it's a fun place to visit.

 

Each to their own, bruda. Wouldn't be my first choice but it could definitely be fun for a weekend.

 

Weird there's only 6 Fightbeaters in this thread :dunno:

Maybe most people are going out to watch it.

 

Have they shown Manny and Floyd behind the scenes yet? How tall does Floyd look for his height?

 

His height's looking pretty functional tonight

 

Thought so. He'll defo have a functional height advantage.

How confident are both fighters looking?

 

I guess its still early. Its not gone 5pm in America yet

 

That pronounced bamstation Clogg better get his ass in later

 

Some of us are living in Europe. There won't be any places showing the fight at 05:00 AM.

 

I live in Europe too, you donut.

You're right, not many places are showing it, but thanks to Hut I'm going to watch it at a Casino.
