      Risky business doing that for Floyd, If Floyd fights aggressive like that, I expect Pac to land some pretty clean meaningful shots.

        the ppv sales, expected to be between 1.5 and 1.8 million, are anticipated to generate up to £36 million.

          I dont see that. Pac is more comfortable with with fighters coming towards him cos it means he can move around them:



          If you give pac distance he's much less comfortable, he starts attacks from too far out, and comes in in straight lines



          If floyd decides to be aggressive we are in for a great fight, but i dont see it. He's going to move and look to counter. He'll lead occasionally to make Pacquaio confused, and try to tie Pac up on the inside. I expect lots of feints as Pac is trying to buiild his attacks too.

            that's probably the reason why a 3rd world country is a third world country, because they are always being ripped off by the first world country.

                Looks like it might be an exciting fight!
                He'll fight like that maybe 10 seconds of every round mixed in with lots of the usual running, clinching, and pop shotting, If he starts coming at pac like that for long stretches he's going to get destroyed. Look at how wide open he is to counter shots, that bum he was sparring has no speed and skills to make him pay. I'd love to be wrong because if Mayweather decides to go to war it will be a great fight and Pac will have plenty of counter opportunities. Another thing he looks slow as shyt, strong but slow.

                  no it's called competitive bidding.

                  2 filipino channels will bid higher for a pac fight than 2 brit channels.

                    This short video has nothing to do with how he is gonna fight Pac.

                    Floyd just has a sparring partner in front of him that he feels he can take out so he is going for the kill.

                      Yep you're right, it's just sparring. Who knows how many rounds he's gone prior to this. That sparring partner doe, i guess he's the designated punching bag for this camp.
