After seeing fighters receive the "hometown" decision, such as, Devon Alexander. Will Floyd get the benefit of the doubt if the fight ever happens? No PED or Steroid answers please.
I think Manny gave the most advantageous concession by agreeing to fight Floyd in his hometown instead of a more neutral site in Dallas, Texas. I believe Manny only fought 3 Americans in U.S. soil but none of them were ever in his opponents city of residence. He won those fights convincingly but Floyd is on another level. Unless Manny knocks out Floyd, all the close rounds will go Mayweather because of the backyard advantage, like the Castillo fight. Also, the ref might favor Floyd, just like the ref in Bute vs Andrade or Kenny Bayless "mistakenly" giving Mosley a knockdown in Pacquaio fight.
Lol, wherever this fight takes place, it's Mayweather Jr they'll be looking to rob - mark my words. If that fight happens, and it's a split decision, Floyd will be receiving his first loss.
No one in the media wants to see Mayweather beat Pacquaio. If they did, then the media would be on Pacquaio's case about drug testing. Instead, they'd rather Mayweather drop his demands, lol.
Agreed. They did everything they could to try to give ODLH the fight versus Floyd, even if they couldn't give it to hi on the scorecards. The commentary in that fight was as disgraceful as iv'e ever heard (and iv'e seen alot of fights) and the Kaczmarek scorecard should have seen him never judge a a backyard bbq brawl let alone a boxing match ever again.
I'm pretty sure the crowd in the fight is gonna be close to 50/50, no matter where you put it, so does it matter? Nope
But since these two are only fighting for money, Vegas is the obvious choice, fight could generate 20+ million just in gate sales.
i really don't know enough to agree or disagree with you, but that's quite an interesting point.
Floyds hometown is Grand Rapids, MI. Manny last fight was just in Vegas. Gimme a break bro.
So where should we have the fight in the Phillipines???
Manny will have the advantage anywhere there. He's been favored there before, just like when they stopped the Hussein fight early. So Manny knows a thing a or two about the hometown decision.
You got Singapore, the Middle East, and South Africa trying to offer a larger site fees then Las Vegas. Dallas is a more neutral site if the fight happens in America.
