Floyd Mayweather JR / Manny Pacquiao - NEWS STREAM -

[Beanz]

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."

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.

$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)

Could Dirrell/DeGale be added to the undercard ? Maybe

Unlikely but DeGale think there is a possibility

"I've not been chopping wood like Mayweather has but I like it, it's old school and Mayweather is an old school type of fighter and I've seen how he trains at his gym.
I've been doing all kinds of different things in training, sprints on the track to two hours runs up Hampstead Heath as well as working in the gym.
I've trained at St George's Park [the FA's National Football Centre and home of the England football teams in Burton] and I'm going to be spending a week up there for my fitness because they have got great facilities. They have a hydro pool, an altitude chamber, sports scientists and they have even put some bags up for me. It's going to really help.
I've not got a date yet but I think they have to let me know by next Tuesday. There were rumours it was going to be in Chicago on April 24, but I've been told it's definitely not going to be then, so maybe it will mid May sometime.
Eddie [Hearn] was looking at putting it on in London on April 25 so I'm seven weeks into training camp anyway, so the quicker it happens for me the better.
There's a little chance it could be on the Mayweather-Pacquiao undercard in Las Vegas on May 2. I would love that obviously but I doubt it; I think they would've announced it if it was."

The WBC have commissioned a million dollar Emerald belt for the fight.

I couldn't care less if Floyd paid four million quid a day for his food. His dough - right to do what he wants with it.

The contrast between what the super rich "need" and what the poorest of the poor "have" is quite clearly disgusting. It's just an observation. Not an attack on Floyd.

I agree, it's Floyds money. A waste of money, to most people, but it's his money.

It's good to keep it front of everyone's face, but that disparity between even you and I and the truly poor, is not going to be solved in this thread or anytime soon.
