My apologies is this has been posted already. I saw Sugar Ray on SportsCenter the other day, and was looking for the video on YouTube. This one is not the same program on ESPN, but it's still Sugar Ray weighing in on the Floyd-Pac fight. Sugar Ray still looks like he'd only have to shed a few pounds and he'd be ready to put on the gloves himself.

The fact that Floyd's predictably utter shutout of Canelo is second on the all time list just proves how stupidly boxing fans spend their money.

Looks like Floyd is getting some good sparring in.
Floyd Mayweather has a split lip and injured hands. I know because I saw them.
He sparred through the surely excruciating pain of superficial skin marks on his knuckles, then had to cope with the sting of the ointment. Boxing is, after all, the "hurt business."
He sparred with the split lip, then when the session ended, he walked to one of the large mirrors in his boxing gym, peeled down the lip to inspect it more closely, went and hit the heavy bag for a few minutes, then ordered another sparring partner back into the ring for a second session, presumably to split the lip even more. Oh, the self-loathing he must feel.
Referee for Floyd Mayweather v Manny Pacquiao fight to earn £6.8k - Telegraph
The referee for the Floyd Mayweather Jr megafight with Manny Pacquiao, which is expected to gross $400 million (£273 million) will earn $10,000 (£6,800) for handling the contest.
Mayweather and Pacquiao are expected to earn £82 million and £54.5 million respectively.
Kenny Bayless and Tony Weeks have emerged as the frontrunners from six possible referees.
It will be the most important fight in the career of ‘the third man in the ring’ with the Nevada State Athletic Commission expected to name the official in charge, and the three judges sitting ringside, in the coming week.
Who do you think refs the fight? I don't mind either one.
I really REALLY hope its Tony Weeks.
If only they asked this forum to hold a vote with the winner reffing the fight :)

Floyd Injury scare rubbished by Ariza
"Strengthening coach Alex Ariza has denied reports Floyd Mayweather Jr. suffered potentially serious injuries in the build-up to his May 2 fight with Manny Pacquiao.
Ariza, who used to train Pac-Man, played down rumours Mayweather has accumulated lasting damage during sparring and heavy bag sessions, reported by Bev Llorente of ABS-CBN News North America.
"I don't call scraped knuckles...I don't call that an injury," Ariza said. "That's just, sometimes they scrape some knuckles inside those gloves. That sometimes happens, nothing major."
The trainer confirmed there is "nothing broken that would cause any concern or delay of this fight" and dismissed the seriousness of other potential problems Mayweather is said to have faced"

I watched 3 hours of early Manny last night. When he was younger he was a freaky fighter and I mean that in a good way. Who on earth would throw something like 18 body shots in a row? Madness. You swear he would throw 150 punches in some rounds. I hope he doesnt suddenly show his age. He's smarter than when younger but at 38 Mayweather needs to be blitzed. If Maidana can almost blitz him hopefully Manny can seal the show. Or steal the show. Or deal the 'woah'. Pac/Morales trilogy tonight!

Admission will be charged for fans to attend Mayweather-Pacquiao weigh-in
LAS VEGAS – In the last seven years, weigh-ins for major fights have become an event unto themselves. Weigh-ins are, by Nevada law, open to the public, and thousands of fans who weren't able to afford tickets to the fight the next night would pack the arena to catch a glimpse of the boxers.
No weigh-in was more memorable than the one the afternoon before the 2007 match between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Ricky Hatton. Tens of thousands of Hatton fans packed the MGM Grand Garden and sang and cheered for hours, with the strain of "There's only one Ricky Hatton!" reverberating throughout the casino.
Fans who want a similar experience for the May 2 Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight had better be prepared to pay for the privilege.
For what is believed to be the first time in Nevada history, admission will be charged for fans to attend the weigh-in on May 1 in the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Francisco Aguilar, the chairman of the Nevada Athletic Commission, said he sought the advice of the Nevada attorney general's office before permitting the charge.
"All of the money, every dollar, from the ticket sales will go to the charities," Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe said.
Mayweather has designated the Susan B. Komen Foundation as his charity. Pacquiao picked the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health as his charity. Proceeds from the weigh-in ticket sales will benefit those charities equally.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. (Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports)
Royce Feour was the long-time boxing writer at the Las Vegas Review-Journal and covered fights in Nevada dating back to the early 1960s. He said he could recall admission being charged by the old Dunes Hotel/Casino for fans to watch Floyd Patterson work out before a fight with Sonny Liston. However, Feour said that as far as he can remember, admission has never been charged for fans to attend a weigh-in in the state.
The charge is not, however, because the fighters are looking to milk every last cent from the promotion. Rather, it's going to be tried as a form of crowd control.
Officials are expecting upward of 50,000 people in the MGM who will be attending the closed circuit broadcast of the fight the next day. The fear is that a large percentage of them will attempt to attend the weigh-in and it could create an unruly situation.
So by charging a nominal fee that has yet to be determined, only fans with tickets will be able to get in and it should make controling the crowd easier, Aguilar said.
"We want to make it as safe as possible for the fighters and for everyone who attends," Aguilar said. "And if fans know they need a ticket to get in, it might prevent people lining up way earlier or any disagreements as people attempt to get into the arena."
