Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[Build That Wall]

Pacquiao has closed off his campaign from the media because he is having trouble focussing. If a fighter is having trouble focussing because of the media with 29 days till the opening bell, he has already lost the mental war.

I'm rooting for Manny all the way here but for Manny to win this he is going to have to either hurt Mayweather bad early, go to the body and take those legs away and simply up his game. His last few opponents should help him prepare since they were fast as we'll. I'm hoping Roach has realized that Manny needs to be as fast and sharp as possible. Forget about power and use speed and hi activity. Mayweather hasn't exactly fought the fastest of opponents lately and appears to be slowing down, very exciting fight.

who was the last 'quick' fighter Floyd has faced? Ortiz? i dont even consider him quick

Lol you are overreacting

Pacquaio prefers people around

Floyd has people in his gym

For some that helps them work harder and curves the boredom

If pacquiao preferred people around his gym, he wouldn't have closed the media off per recent reports. It is due to focus, because he is currently having trouble focussing.

What are you talking about? Wild Card has been closed when Pac is training since the beginning of this camp as they want to limit/prevent strategy being leaked, just like Floyd is doing.

the phuck?? That's not the reason why lol, the gym is closed when roach and manny works on the game plan. When pac is just doing his regular work out, the gym is open to all.

He closed off his workouts at wildcard because he doesn't want anything leaked out on what they are working on.

All the videos are outdoor workouts...him jogging/situps/shadowboxing...

I think it's a different scene at wildcard. Roach probably allows only a limited number of people when Manny is working out at Wildcard.

Interesting though, we never see PAC doing any weight training..no free weights or anything. I wonder what his sessions are like when he does it.

I've been rewatching Pac's career since Barerra I. So fun to go back through. Obviously Pac is an ATG and has plenty in his arsenal to trouble Floyd as well, but man is Floyd's timing going to be a problem for Pac. Lesser fighters have been catching him with his hands down coming in and he is just there for right hand counters since forever. What a warrior though.

The heck you better give me credit for this idea my friend lol. I've been mentioning going back through Pac's fights for weeks!

I just love his "fist smash" after he gets hit with a good shot. The guy was born to scrap.

Manny is looking quicker in that last video... Floyd still looking quicker... Still not one single video of Manny doing mitts with Freddie with less than a month until fight night... what gives?

Floyd Mayweather's odds take a nosedive

Full Mayweather-Pacquiao coverage

Like a stone thrown into the sea, Floyd Mayweather's odds are beginning to sink.

According to an ESPN report, Mayweather's odds to beat Manny Pacquiao have fallen to minus-180 in the MGM's sportsbook. For those keeping score, when the odds for both boxers in the fight were originally posted, Mayweather found himself floating above Pacquiao at minus-275.

MGM assistant sportsbook manager Jeff Stoneback told ESPN that three times more money has been bet on the underdog, Pacquiao, than on the favorite, Mayweather. According to that same ESPN report, one gambler at the MGM Mirage bet $50,000 on Pacquiao not just once, but twice.

Despite Mayweather's shrinking odds, ESPN did manage to confirm a couple large-scale bets on the undefeated fighter. Ed Salmons of the Westgate SuperBook told ESPN that a "large six-figure" bet was made in favor of Mayweather, and John Avello of the Wynn sportsbook said a "small six-figure" bet was placed behind the favorite.

And at the MGM, the total amount that has been wagered on the Fight of the Century is close to reaching a million dollars.

"For a month away, the handle is astronomical," Stoneback told ESPN.

When you're set to have Mayweather and Pacquiao inside the same ring, astronomical is to be expected -- it just comes with the territory.

Again, don't assume this is a good thing.

Public money is on Pacquiao. If there's one thing that the public is absolutely horrible at, it's sports betting.
