    Chances are high, because I think it will be far less competitive than what people think.

    Hard to see Mayweather win and the fight being exciting really. I cant even see Manny really hurting or shaking Floyd, its not like hes the biggest puncher Floyds fought.

    I think that boxing fans will enjoy it and no doubt will get to see a good tactical chess match (for what its worth I think that Manny will start off strong and by the end of the 3rd or 4th round Mayweather will have sussed him out and will win on points)

    The casual fan is a different matter altogether, they are going to be expecting bombs to be thrown with blood and snot flying around the ring for the entire fight, I actually asked a kid that I work with who he thought was going to win and he said Manny, I asked him what other fights he had seen him or Floyd in and he said he had never watched them before. Don't ask me how you can form an opinion on who is going to win if you have never seen either of them but that's what this fight has done, its peaked the interest of absolutely everyone.

    Knee Jerk reaction is 3/2 chance of the fight being boring. I think for it to be boring fight, Floyd would have to dominate and stay on the outside. I don't think Floyd has the legs to do that with a fighter that has the quick feet Manny has. The other thing that Floyd can do to make this a boring fight is a lot of holding.

    Agree with all of that.

    Most people watching wont know what they are watching and will expect something Rocky-esque.
