    I think most of the fighters or most of the celebrities are going to be wrong.
    I like Manny and would like to see him win, I don't like Floyd but would hate to see him come this close and lose that NAUGHT. Maybe you can understand how I feel, if not you probably think I'm an idiot.

    Boxers know that Floyd is favourite. Manny has been knocked out cold. Floyd has remained undefeated.

    Forget the nonsense about him looking old and losing his legs that is made up.

    Celebrities know nothing about boxing.

    Classic example of a person who does not know boxing and probably last watched it 2009.

    It's definitely not made up I noticed him badly gasping for air back when he fought Mosley and he's been fighter lesser quality opponents pretty much ever since and not looking any different.
    He's 38 so of course he's slowed down

    Default What will be the Floyd/Manny narative?

    What angle do you feel will be used for the back story?

    Good, clean, Christian Manny vs. the wealthy, snot nosed little brat in Mayweather?

    What angle could there possibly be?

    Default Let's be fair- Floyd is/was not afraid of Manny!

    Floyd was afraid of Bob Arum and what Bob can do. Corrupt judges, corrupt ref's, corrupt officials, backroom wheeling and dealing, etc...

    Floyd did not want to go up against the Arum/Top Rank machine. Bottom line!

    His chances of "winning" a decision decreases significantly when faced with a GOOD, and this case, an ELITE Arum/Top Rank fighter.

    The best narrative to sell is pushing the completely fictional "Manny chasing...Floyd running from the fight" angle. People want to believe Manny will knock Floyd out. More people will pay to see that than anything. Anything that builds the belief that Floyd was scared builds the belief Manny will win and win spectacularly.

    The long con that was Floyd/Manny will fool the foolish. And most people are foolish.

    Default Re: May vs. Pac- What I have been reading thus far!

    The bookies say that all the early money is on Pac as all the educated gamblers are waiting for the impulsive emotional people that want floyd to get knocked out, to drive up the odds first. The angles always gonna be the same as it always was. Fan friendly pac will train and do about 30 nike commercials, talk show appearances with kimmel and falon but otherwise stay in seclusion while training. Floyd will flash money but show he's training and say he respects pacquiao...and then do something like bet 20 million dollars on himself... Then depending on how the fights selling, floyd will start his bad guy routine and start bringing up all the drug testing, money issues etc to slam manny and the public will buy into it more. I wouldn't be surprised if all the other ones (sr. roger, ariza) tried to get in on the act (except jeff mayweather) as it becomes a full blown circus. Sprinkle some pro pacquiao tweets from 50 cent, Floyd's ex and others. (which coincidentally does a better job at wearing floyd down than people realize)
