[Scott9945]

Everybody heres an expert yet cant really break the fight down????...well one of two things ...listen to the knuckle heads or listen to real analysis?....I go with Pacman ...he will cut off the ring with great footwork and force Floyd into a true fight....yes it MAY not go down like that but at least I gave you a psrtial breakdown PM me if you want more not giving the idiots here more info than they deserve ,they may cash out on my name.

Wow! That is some deep analysis. I did not know you had it in you. I am listening to the real analysis now. I am reading your penetratingly thoughtful words over and over to make sure I extract every kernel of intelligence and boxing wisdom from them. Then I will go bet on the fight based on your detailed breakdown. Yes, I am going to cash in off your name. I will tell the man at the cage window who sent me with my packet of acumen. I am sure it is a name he will be familiar with. You are smart, man, real smart. Real boxing smart is what you are.

I was going to break down the fight myself, but after reading your post I realized you had already said it all. Have you ever thought about writing for one of the major boxing mags. Send in some of your posts as examples of your style.

There is not much that your continued gaze upon a subject will not reveal in due time.

I wouldn't be allowed to write for a major publisized boxing magazine as only the uninformed and biased paid get that spot...if you would actually like to debate me on whatever well lets do it.....the loser goes packing and leaves the forum...though its not a vote since I know your little friends here will side with you....how about we man up and pick 4 guys on here you get 2 I get 2???after I send you packing you can make another account???This will be you....

I think this fight is bigger maybe than the Ali vs foreman, Remember at the time that fight wasn't exactly going to be the biggest and best fight, nobody knew Ali was gonna rope a dope, that fight gained the most attention after the fight, so mayweather and pac i think is that big,and if it turns out to be a great fight it will be even bigger after the actual fight itself, i dont believe the is "too late" yes both boxers are older now,but they have both declined equally also, this may very well be the last great performance from both boxers, but if you had to put it on a time scale wise,i would tyson-lewis,

I do not stoop to debate halfwits. If you could not re-register, then I would love the suggestion.

Look man (or kid), you are not capable of serious debate. You would not understand it. Your stellar simple-mindedness could not help you. My advice to you is to go back and finish high school. Well, let's reconsider that.. Stay away from schools, in fact.

There is a trade magazine for fairs. In the ads section one often finds hotdog stands for sale. Choose yourself a good one that can be pulled by bicycle.

Lol wtf.

Ali was head and shoulders above everyone in boxing incl. Foreman, Frazier, Holmes, Norton and whoever else COMBINED.

Ali-Foreman was definitely a massive fight which is why half of the worlds media flew to a little unknown dump in central africa to cover it for 2 months.

Not saying it wasnt one of the biggest fights in boxing history, It got so much attention tho because Ali promoted it well, but when it was announced your average run of the mill casual fan wasnt really looking at it, as it got closer it certainly got bigger, but it wasnt realy till after the fight that it was knowin for such a great fight if you get what i mean?? As in i think may vs pac is attracting alot more casuals and average joes than what ali and Forman did. imo

Mayweather vs pac ticket sales for the history books??

Yesterday the tickets for may 2nd went on sale,within 60 seconds those tickets were well gone. I read here that a ticket on stub-hub 5 rows or so back was $141.000.00 so its clear to see this fight will break all box office (pay per view) sales. But in the history of boxing, has their ever been a more expensive sought after tickets?? I really cannot think of any fight that would generate that much, or people willing to pay so much just for a ticket, so dose anyone Know or remember a fight that could generate that much money,or even better still,come close to it?? Do you think that this record or should i say future record ever be broken again??

Mayweather's Legacy

1. What does this Pacquiao win do for Mayweather's legacy?

2. Is this finally the great, career defining win fans have been waiting for from him?

3. And would this fight have been any closer or ended any differently had it happened 5 years earlier?

I think it has to be great for his legacy and a great win and maybe closer if it happened sooner, but that Mayweather still would've won.
