Thanks Andre and Xwetie

Seems like the Freddie Roach/Floyd Mayweather Sr feud is still going on.

The dad gets so nervous in between rounds. He has trouble getting the words out," Roach said, as quoted by Boxing Scene. "He kinds of stutters halfway through it, and he doesn't really get the information across to the fighter." "I mean, I'm really happy he's in the corner because the kid's going to be fighting by himself," he added.

Looks like Floyd ain't going to be hungry any time soon. Thanks to his $1000 a plate meal plan



"It's a good thing Floyd Mayweather's got a $150 million paycheck in his future ... 'cause he's paying the private chef who's cooking up his meals about $1,000-a-plate!!!
BTW -- 46 days 'til the fight ... 4 meals-per-day (at least) ... we're talking $184k ... and Floyd is more than happy to foot the bill!
The woman behind Floyd's diet is Chef Q ... who's based out of Vegas but will be with Mayweather every step of the way until the fight of the century on May 2nd.
"My daily schedule for Floyd is 'There is no schedule' ... I am here for him anytime. 24 hours, 7 days a week. If he needs me at 3am, I am there cooking up breakfast."

It looks like we will not have to wait until Friday in the UK to see who has secured the rights to show the fight. Gareth Davies in the Telegraph thinks it will be announced sooner.

"Although Friday was the deadline day set for bids to be finalised for broadcasters to host Floyd Mayweather v Manny Pacquiao in the UK, it is understood the announcement will be made this week.

Telegraph Sport understands that it is a three-way tug-of-war between Sky Sports (Box Office), BoxNation TV, and BT Sport. It is believed that the cost of buying the rights may be around the £10-12m mark.

Signs are strong that Sky will be the winners in the rights war, the deal likely to be a flat fee and a share of the pay per view revenue returned from the broadcast, which is expected to break all Box Office pay-per-view (PPV) records in the UK.

The most ever was 1.2 million PPV viewers in the UK for Ricky Hatton versus Floyd Mayweather, although this event on May 2 is expected to shatter that record, potentially reaching between 1.5 and 1.8 million PPV buys. If the cost were to be set at £20 it would therefore likely generate £30-36m."

Sky Sports already have access to the Mayweather gym and have had for the last 2 weeks - BT sports and Boxnation don't have this privilege.

I think that tells us already who's gonna be showing the fight 😉

Floyd is not afraid of anybody and once knocked out a super middle weight or so says Errol Spence

"I'm tired of everybody talking about how Floyd Mayweather is afraid of this guy. I trained with Floyd years ago and I fought at 168 and he was fighting at 130. He was sparring a guy that was a super middleweight and knocked him out. I have seen him spar bigger guys, so to say he is afraid of a guy his size or smaller just bothers me coming from people who have never boxed...and that's okay. And it's okay to give your perspective on it and that's okay too, but now I'm happy that it's happening and it will be great for the sport," stated Derrick James, world-class trainer of fast-rising welterweight Errol Spence, who shared his thoughts on the upcoming May 2 showdown between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.

Wow, I'd rather feast on these than listen to any of their pre-fight grumblings. Just gimme these and I can even skip the fight.

[Fenster]

$4,000 a day for grub? Obscene.

100 million people in the world starving. 3 million kids a year snuff it from lack of food/nutrition related problems.

Watched an up-to-date IFL interview with Frank Warren yesterday. They never mentioned the fight once. Sky must have it.

[ruthless rocco]

Mayweather is not paying that much for food.

It's publicity for the fight.

You guys are so gullible!

[Fenster]

They're selling the fight by "lying" about how much Floyd pays his personal chef? Damn, they must be really struggling to sell it then, I was gullible enough to think it was the biggest fight ever

I got the impression that Floyd said the meal is so good that it's worth a grand, not that he's actually paying a grand.

The fight will decide the first ever recognized World Welterweight Champion in the eyes of the Transnational Boxing Ratings Board. (formed in 2012 by Boxing historians and Writers after the alleged decline in standards from The Ring ratings panel)
