LAS VEGAS, NV - Everyone is talking and weighing in on the outcome of the Oscar De La Hoya vs Floyd Mayweather "The World Awaits" mega-bout Saturday, May 5 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas live on HBO Pay-Per-View. From "The Donald" to Miami Heat's "D Wade," find out what the celebrities, professional athletes and fellow pugilists are saying about the hottest and most highly anticipated bout in boxing history. [details]

I'd like to start off by saying Sugar Ray Leonard is a spiteful bastard,

He consistently attempts to put mayweather down in an attempt downplay a potentail threat to his legacy imo.

He says different things when it suits him, and saying Oscar has more desire than Floyd to win the fight is pure garbage.

One min he backing Floyd, next min he over here in the UK saying Hatton Gonna beat Floyd, now he backing De La Hoya.

He claimed Manfredo was gonna beat Calzaghe also (lmao)

Ray, stick to boxing, and slapping your wife and kids about, thats what your good at, leave the predictions to someone without an agenda.

lol.

this is classic:

The celeb comments are just about worthless but the boxer's ones are cool. I hope more well known boxers make their prediction public.

Im actually comforted by how many top boxers actually give Oscar a chance. They know a lot more than i do ! My heart is so for Oscar but i just see Floyd running out a comfortable UD

Look at that... The black boxers go with floyd, and the mexicans go with Oscar... Wow, it would be nice if people in this sport didn't judge each other by ethnicity. These opinions are worthless

Yeah its hard for me to take the celeb's comments serious. You don't know if they are picking the person they like the most or if they actually watch boxing and are making an educated prediction. I remember watching this preview for the fight and they interviewed Bow Wow and he didn't make any sense and said something about Mayweather KO Oscar in the early rounds. I see Mayweather winning, but not by KO especially in the early rounds.

Celebs aren't serious boxing enthusiasts. They tend to vote according to the culture and colorline......

Bow Wow's a ******. He officially just made himself look like the biggest ****** in the world. Like we can't tell that he's only rooting for floyd because floyds a black fighter.
