Mayweather-Pacquiao For May 1: Heavy Talks To Start

[BOX-A-LOT]

if anything pacquiao has had 3 tune-ups in a row
de la hoya-hatton-cotto

Floyd has had 40 tune-ups in a row

The moment Floyd was presented with a challenge, he a) had an excuse b) he retired

[DonTaseMeBrah]

Arum is right when ellerbe keeps on quoting figures before pacquiao became a mainstream crossover american star. Ellerbe is trying to take advantage of the fact that american mainstream fans never care for lower weight non american fighters.


Pac only became mainstream star in america during the oscar fight. If you start looking at his ppv starting with the oscar fight its pretty clear that Pac has gotten the american mainstream's attention

vs oscar 1.25 mill

vs hatton 850k

vs cotto 1.25 mil

The first 2 during my rougher economic circumstance than when fraudulent jr. fought them.

The fact that a non american fighter who can barely talk english, doesnt live in america, & a career lower weight fighter, has gained this kind of support, affinity, & reverence from the american fans & media compared to what is given to fraudlent jr. deserves at the very least 50-50.


Pac has already won & fraudulent jr. has already lost no matter what happens in the fight.

Everyone thinks Floyd is a great boxer. He isnt . He's hard to hit ,thats what he is. Everyone says Floyd will outbox Manny. He wont. Floyd does those cute shoulder rolls that makes it extremely difficult to nail him flush. Thats his biggest asset. Manny's tenacity will counter this . Manny and his southpaw stance will counter this. Not only is it hard to face a southpaw, but a great one, Hagler ,Pacman,Calzaghe,etc are near impossible to beat in their primes. And make no mistake, Manny is in his prime.This is an extremely difficult fight for Mayweather. Pacman gets hit and he pounds his stomach wanting more.The harder he gets hit , the more ferocious he becomes. Floyd hasnt faced a guy like Pacman . Every edge goes to Pacman in this fight,speed ,power and chin.Floyd's chin will be tested in this fight in a terrible way. Manny wins by unaminous decision or Floyd quits on his stool after 10.

Did you see Mannys face after the Cotto fight? He needs time to relax heal. The dude took a bit of damage, even though he made it look easy it sure the hell wasn't easy for him. That is what boxers do, so Floyd could wipe the floor with Manny and win every single round but that does not mean it was an easy fight for Floyd. Atleast thats how I see things in boxing. I hope Pacquiao wins, but I don't see it happening, I live in reality not dreams.

Will you change your avi if Floyd beats Manny? I'll change my avi and sig in honor of Manny if he beats Floyd.

They need several months to promote the fight right.

And promote it they will.

This makes sense!!!!!!

I hope they promote this right. With TV commercial, Internet promos, radio,ect,ect,ect.

boxing needs to start using other ways of promoting fights!!

You ain't say nothing but a word. The promotion from all sides will be
monumental. Some new marketing tactics might even be thrown in for good measure.

Roach has said that he need more time to prepare Pacman for Mayweather's style. Guess Roach knows that Mayweather won't be a walk in the park like Cotto was.

You better believe it.

Yeah, Floyd has had 40 tune-ups in a row. He's never fought any decent fighter his whole career right?

Dunno why people are surprised we'll be waiting til May to see this. I thought it would be in September or October by the time everything got sorted and the time taken to promote the fight.

Damn lets make a rule where Boxingscene doesnt talk about this fight till at least 3 months till the fight.....

I dont wanna hear it for all 6 months just waiting long....

I posted a little while ago that it would likely take place sometime around May-July. This gives Manny enough time to rest, enjoy his vacation, heal up, and for the promotional campaigns to get rolling.

I wouldn't doubt they already started lining up advertisers and endorsers.

I imagine Pacquiao vs Mayweather 24/7 is going to be pretty entertaining to say the least. And all the parties involved are preparing for their roles.

By the way May 1st, 2010 lands on a Friday. That's odd.
