I gave it to Floyd via split decision ;D
Round one for Mayweather. http://bit.ly/1Ann6PG
The suit swung it for him. Freddie was a bit 'it's all about me'. Not letting Sr speak was a masterstroke.
Personally, I like it when Manny's not predicting KOs.
Manny "No Roids/No KOs" Pacquioa
I would've given it to Mayweather, except Justin Bieber turned up. Guilty by association.
Pac wins the press conference.
Floyd nailed it, did you expect something else. Floyd is very comfortable speaking to reporters and the cameras, Manny does OK but he's not speaking his native language or as comfortable in front of the cameras as Floyd.
I liked the respect they gave to each other.
Of course, the high point was when Justin Bieber showed up! Thank goodness he arrived in time for the lineup, I know we were were all worried he wouldn't make it.
while im not a fan of freddy making the fight about himself, he always speaks for manny. Its become part of the routine. Its not going to change now because its big money fight with a big mouth selling past an expiration date. The guy went into training the second it was made. Hes not thinking about press conferences. If he can talk on Jimmy kimmel, he's not afraid to talk here. Its just not what he does for fights except when he's had to because his opponent spoke worse english or had no stage presence (marquez, cotto, margarito). He was happy to let bradley, algieri, rios make all the noise they wanted.
Personally, when it comes to talk about a fight. Points to the guy who shows up dressed like a hitman, says little and is already training to do his talking in the ring, while the other guys making a fashion statement and still trying to bull$h*t people that "this fight couldn't have happened at a better time" . Does it mean anything in how the fight will play out.? Not likely but freddy was right when he said all the pressure was on floyd. Let floyd sell the fight, in addition to training, and whatever else he does. Mannys happy to just train I think.
what a disappointment it was
But wtf was Justin Bieber doing there ? Annoys me shit like that
It does not matter, there will be a rematch press conference and then another and another one after that.
The winner was anyone who didn't watch. So I was the loser.
Floyd's voice sounded pretty shaky to me. He's lucky no one asked him to read.Quote:

The whole thing could have done with a bit of WWE! Just a hint mind.
Give it a few weeks. Floyd will start talking more garbage if the general feeling is that the fight isn't selling optimally. Nationalistic, personal, racial insults...whatever it takes.Quote:

I said nothing will happen it will be boring, they will be loving each other because they are about to make each other and all there teams very, very rich. I didnt bother watching it.
The fight does not excite me. In fact, I bet more people in here would be more excited about a Wilder v Fury fight.
im equally interested in both fightsQuote:

Mayweather often sounds a bit wobbly, but he's as cool as a cucumber once that bell starts for round one and that's the important thing. Sometimes people forget how stressful public speaking can be and I don't think it gets any easier just because you are Floyd Mayweather and have lots of money. Mayweather is sometimes a punk and says silly things, but under pressure and in the moment anyone would do the same.Quote:
