Let them doubt Mayweather. It just increases the value of the win once he knocks him out.

All day long today, all I have heard when they talk about the fight is, "My God this means Mayweather and Pacman goin at it is very possible!" and they all seem to agree that Mayweather will meet the same fate as Hatton, even if in the later rounds, I tell you what that is the fight to make right there, Money wise and its what the people want, Id say it would probably be the highest selling fight of all time, if promoted correctly.

Floyd likes being the underdog and is used to it. He moved up from 130 to fight the 135 champion Castillo and was outweighed by over 10lbs and hurt his hand, fought him one handed was a huge underdog and owned Castillo twice in a row.

Not only that but on my local sports channels they were talking about the matchup and all of them also said that Pac would kill Floyd right now. Again, my biggest worry is that Floyd will kill JMM and on July 19th everyone will start to flip and Floyd will atleast be the favored and maybe it will be so bad that people will try to say that Floyd is a ***** for fighting Pac

Only thing is...Floyd hasn't been an underdog for a little over 4 years. He was favored in both the Hatton and Oscar fights.

If he's claiming to be the #1 fighter regardless of Pacquiao, I doubt he'll take the route of the underdog more than him trying to stamp his claim as the #1.

Did they talk about it on PTI, Around the Horn, or Jim Rome's show?

You're not looking at the big picture, stop your manlove for Floyd for just a second there buddy. Boxing has been counted down and out just recently (Joe Calslappy). Boxing is now back in the mainstream and steadily gaining more fans, that's the bottom line, and NOT who's the favorite or the underdog...

Regardless of who you think will win, it's GREAT that people on ESPN are saying Pacquiao will KO Mayweather. That creates SO MUCH HYPE for this fight, there are a lot of people who love to hate mayweather and will tune in to see him get KO'd. This fight will break 2.4 million buys
