Mayweather - Pacquiao is on !!!!

[walrus]

Taking all bets there's an injury delay to this fight!

Is your suggestion that Manny will pull out again but with an injury this time and Floyd will be blamed by Mannys fans? Because I can see "Floyd was so scared he paid Mannys sparring partner to injure Mannys ribs, clearly with Floyd pulling such trickery it was best not to postpone but rather cancel because Manny is afraid of postponement. And a fear of postponement is completely logical so we will be fine saying it over and over"

I don't know about all that but every iota pre and post fight will be discussed here I an insane manner. We've been talking about this fight for years. It will be interesting. There is a lot of dislike for Floyd but those of us who dislike his arrogance and women beating still appreciate him as an incredible boxer. What I am most interested to see is what Manny can do about that jab. I think Floyd has one of the best jabs of all time and no one has an answer for it. It sets up everything. I think the consensus is Floyd, even being a Manny fan I probably agree but certainly don't write Manny off. I'm interested to hear from @pacfan to see what the mood in the Philippines is. They must be rockin. It'll be interested to see what the bookmakers in Vegas come up with. I'll probably throw a few bucks at Manny.

I do have to say Mannys story is amazing, from a poor kid hustling in the streets of the Philippines to this, the biggest financial fight ever. It's late, neither of these guys are what they were buts it's going to be a he'll of an event. The undercards have to be great as well. Damn it's finally happening, I need to get permission from my wife to get the ppv, God my life sucks. Do you think Brock and GGG will be on the undergrad.

I would be a huge Pac fan if it wasn't for the complete disregard for the truth from his camp and fans. Because like you said, his story is great. And his style is non stop action.

It just hit me it is too late to stack the undercard, I hope that while we waited they worked on this. I know Arum thinks undercards are useless but this should be packed. Hopefully Floyd fought for that.

Yes, Arum and his thoughts on the undergrad are incredibly stupid, what does he think, fans that will drop the bucks on a ppv don't care about the whole presentation. Still, it's not just Arum running this show so I think they put together a good line up. This isn't just a fight, it's an event and should be treated as such.
I wonder what they will call this, Floyd likes catchy names, they should have saved " The One" for this instead of the waste of Floyd v Alvarez.

Man I wrote a book listing 100s of blatant lies but I figure it would be greeted with TLDR so a shorter version...

Floyd did not add testing to get out of the fight. It was in the original contract that was agreed to. Team Pac used it to get out of the fight.

Pac isn't afraid of needles. What's funny is that wasn't even their first excuse. Arum threw excuse after excuse at the wall until he found one that stuck. Every day a new excuse. If I couldn't afford a house and I said "I don't have a house because I'm a nomad" then the next day I said "i don't have a house because I grew up in an orphanage and houses make me feel trapped" and I said a new thing every day for a week then finally I said "I don't have a house because I fear ceilings, sure I've been under many ceilings but not so regularly" are you going to believe me? No, because it's preposterous. Yet people regurgitate Manny fears needles as if there is any truth to it and as if it didn't come about in such a ridiculous way.

And Manny absolutely did not believe he signed a contract when he agreed to a deal memo. People need to stop excusing this nonsense. It's a blatant f'n lie. I don't get why people excuse someone blatantly f'n lying instead of calling them on it. Manny has signed many contracts, he knows what a contract looks like. A deal memo looks *ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LIKE A CONTRACT*. He lied, people should call him on it but instead they allow it.

As long as people don't call liars on their lies then Bobhas no problem lying, Manny has no problem lying, Roach has no problem lying. If you need evidence watch "Roach is a lying racist" on YouTube

First off, I'm really glad the fight is happening at the long last. This should stop most of the sh-t talks that's been going on here for just too long...

Well, buds, you've guessed it right. The announcement was a headline item in all the news programs here and many media outfits interrupted their usual programs to make the announcement. The story was just a bit ecclipsed though by the recent massacre of 44 police special force members here, who were ambushed after taking out a Malaysian terrorist who masterminded the Bali bombing. Manny told that he will dedicate the fight to these fallen police officers. So I say, go Manny!!!
