"they poisoned Pac"

"Mayweather bribed the judges"

"Pac is old"

"Pac wasn't even in his prime yet"

"Pac is a natural flyweight and fighting at WW!!!"

"His socks were cheap."

"He had a haircut."

"He wasn't wearing his favorite Clitoris glubs."

"He was wearing 10 ounce pillows."

"His soup was too hot."

"His soup was too cold."

Come May 5th, it will be the 5 year anniversary of the highest grossing and most bought PPV in history, Mayweather vs De La Hoya. Cinco De Mayo parties and celebrations will be already taking place on this Saturday evening. Pacquiao will be coming off of an action packed win against JMM. Mayweather will be coming off of a win against a young power punching southpaw Victor Ortiz. Both of their PPV's will have had 1.3mill+ buys. HBO's 24/7 will be used for the build up to both of their last fights and will also be used for this mega fight. Golden Boy and Top Rank will come together without dispute and the atmosphere will be perfect to create the biggest bout in history.

Props to BPP for merging this thread with a new one, to give you credit for calling out the fight in June 2011. That is very generous of Boxingscene to do for an excellent contributor.
