Floyd Mayweather JR / Manny Pacquiao - NEWS STREAM -

[Manos de Piedra]

$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.

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."

That's the dumbest thing ever.

[pacfan]

Did you guys notice Floyd kinda acting strange ever since this fight getting negotiated and the deal done with? First he took his sweet time vacationing in some tropical island and enjoying himself before finally putting his signature for the fight. And now he's feasting on luxury foods everyday like a king. What the heck is he thinking of? Is he thinking the end is nigh?
...gotta watch this fight...

He took a vacation before beginning a few months of training and he's eating good food.
You find this strange... Why??

somebody has laundered lots of money

[Fenster]

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.
