Pacquiao fights for the fans whilst Mayweather fights for money. Let's consider changing the situation Manny an American and Floyd be the Asian..

Pacquiao vs Floyd, ref and the judges. Manny need a KO to win!

It's happening,even later..but it's happening.

Pacman was back against the wall: he was badly short of credible opponents and he badly needed big money...

FMJr was back against the wall too: Showtime wouldn't have paid him anymore for fighting leftovers or B-class punchers without their usual punching gloves.

Under "normal circumstances", FMJr would win a decision after a boring fight ("pigmented" with excessive holding, running and 4-5 clearly landed punches per round.)

People hate Floyd so much it has blinded them to the facts that he has been trying to make this figbt for years. The hatred towards Floyd comes from being a black man who doesn't have to depend on the greedy individuals like Arum or King. And being independent he shows the world exactly what the fruits of his labor brings. The man is a winner in and out of the ring and those who can't live the way he does refuse to except it. They hate seeing him with all that money and the this vs he can afford to buy with it. I for one am glad for the man because not many fighters end up like Floyd. Most get screwed and end up in the red while the promoter ends up living like a king off of the blood and sweat of the fighter. Once Floyd leaves the sport of boxing the haters will be watching in hopes he goes broke since none of their heroes in the fight game couldn't beat him they want him to lose all his money. Haters are the lowest form of people ever to walk the earth. They should be sent to hell just for GP.

Weak argument...people hate Floyd for his personality, abuse of women, arrogance, constantly contradicting himself, flaunting his wealth like the public care, cherrypicking...has nothing to do with race simpleton. There are plenty of black boxers past and present who are well respected. A lot of all time greats were black and we'll respected.

After a weekend of arguing with some of Manny's worst fans, I'm just glad they both did what was needed to make the fight happen.
