I've read that there's no rematch caluse but I'm sure there will be one if it's close or controversial, like when the Miadana fight seemed close. Floyd has one fight left after this so who else could he face for that much money?
I think the result will depend on how much PAC steals the first third of the fight with a knock-down or two. It's the only chance he seems to have, I think.
PS.: I can imagine him extending his career far too long for his own good if he looses that 0.
Johnny Nelson said that Floyd insisted on a rematch clause.Quote:

But don't get too rattled just yet. Even I myself, the tardest of the pac-fans here, am surprised by Nacho's strong assertion. He said it as if it were a sure thang. Hmmm, let me thiink...
...the heck with it, He is dang right!;D
This fight just had to happen, but it's five years too late in my humble opinion.
Floyd and Pac have both slipped a bit, but I think Manny has dipped more than Mayweather. A fighter of constant pressure, high energy and with a furious attack will usually start to deteriorate quicker than a defensive counterpuncher.
It's an intriguing clash of styles, the irresistible force meeting the immovable object. Neither guy is in his prime anymore but they are the two outstanding boxers of their generation.
Early prediction ..... and I reserve the right to change my mind several times over the next few months!
Pac starts quickly and wins the first few rounds, surprising Mayweather with his speed and unusual punching angles. He might buzz Floyd s couple of times of even score a flash knockdown.
However, he is ageing and a naturally smaller man, so he can't sustain that pace. Floyd begins to work him out and start to time him with the straight right as he comes in. This makes Pac more cautious, which plays into Mayweathers hands.
Floyd begins to dominate the pace and distance of the fight, by the 9th there is only going to be one winner. Floyd gets a decision or even a late stoppage.
After the fight, Mannys fans say he had aged and Mayweather could never have defeated the 'real' Pacquiao.
I hope Manny gets drugged up with inspiration and just throws punches for ever second of every round and overwhelms the woman beater that is Floyd. :)
I thought he was invincible...Quote:

Where are you going with this?
I've read its a three fight deal so hopefully we get the skinny. The MGM being sold out in 15 minutes seems to be a lark. Hotels rooms that were 2 bills a night are now 7. Seats that were 250 to 500 are now 3,000 to 5,000. I dont understand the reluctance on this side of the world to hold something like this in an arena. At least that way every day working stiffs that actually follow the sport might be able to go.Quote:

Jeez.
I must have seen it on Bleacher Report or something. Don't know really, but I'm hoping they'll do at least one more for us fans then (if it's close).Quote:
