Floyd Mayweather JR / Manny Pacquiao - NEWS STREAM -

I saw this ad on the local television just today. This is the kind of atmosphere we have here right now.

Love this!

It's just been revealed that the REAL reason the fight took 5 years to make is that it took that long for the PEDs to fully leave Manny's blood stream.

T-shirt war

What's a little merchandise sniping? Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao has kicked up a lot of discussion, debate, previews, analysis, and some just plain ol' nonsense, and these t-shirts probably qualify as plain ol' nonsense. That said, they're pretty fun.
Mayweather's team sold (and sold out of) a t-shirt depicting the fighter superimposed over the colors of the Filipino flag:




Pacquiao, a legit national hero and even an elected official in the Philippines, didn't really care, though:

"That's good," Pacquiao said, before creasing up with laughter. "I like that. He wants to join our team. TMT - The Manny Team."

Not content to go quietly, another t-shirt, a pro-Manny work of art, picked up some attention at yesterday's arrival events. That one is displayed up at the top of this article, and is a fan-made piece, depicting a Pacman eating a dollar sign. If Pacquiao wins, that one might need to go up for sale. Or perhaps someone will just steal the design and put it on redbubble or etsy and make life easier for those who want it. Or harder. Maybe it'll be a $70 Gildan t-shirt.

Pacquiao did not turn up for the MGM press op instead choosing to have a fan rally at Mandaly bay

"More than 50 people stood on the stage shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday afternoon at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, but the scene still looked lacking.
An unnecessary plural hung on the banner serving as the event’s backdrop. Instead of grand arrivals, this was just a grand arrival.


A driver of a Mercedes van branded with The Money Team logo on both sides chauffeured Floyd Mayweather Jr. through the venue where he’ll compete Saturday in the fight of the century, but his opponent stayed down the street. Manny Pacquiao passed on the festivities, creating a rare occurrence where two combatants don’t usher in a major fight week by meeting face to face.
Pacquiao held a separate “fan rally” at Mandalay Bay in the morning.
“If I didn’t show up to the grand arrival and I said, ‘Do it somewhere else,’ it would be on the front page because the standards are always different,” Mayweather groaned.
The relatively minor dispute was the latest in a series of disagreements between the camps of the two most popular boxers in the world and a fight-week illustration of why their fight took a half-decade to put together."
