When you have watched boxing for years you want to see the big fights.

you don't want cheating, you want a fair fight, fair everything and the best man win.

But there will be. We are over a month out and the excuses are flowing

[malcolm]

Little over a month remaining before Pac gets "Gatti'd" by Floyd! What a long time coming... all the low IQ Pac fans will finally be eradicated from internet forums.

Pac has NEVER been in the ring with a Master Boxer that has the pedigree, athleticism and IQ of Floyd Mayweather.

Pac gets a lot of credit for being athletic and quick but all that gets puts to rest on May 2nd.

All that lunging in and awkward crap is going to get Pac a beating he never thought possible. His naïve brain really thinks he's on Mayweather's level. I'm almost for certain he and his family will be CRYING in the ring after the fight.

Pac is getting that Gatti treatment. Roach and Arum will be humbled as well.

Roach needs to make up his mind. Previously he said that he felt Arum wanted to save it for Pac's last fight. I still wonder why there are so many people that are completely convinced that Pac was so adamant to make the fight earlier and put all the blame on Floyd. Can someone please tell me, other than saying it in interviews, what Pac ever did to make the fight become a reality earlier?

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

they have already tricked themselves into believing the once "feather fisted" coward is now the biggest juicer in boxing history, once the fight got signed i thought pac fanatics would have been happy and posted why they think their fighter would win but low n behold

he was pressured into taking the fight (this helps them rest at night)
he hired memo
hes on roids
the only way he will win is because of the roids
he waited for pac to slow down
floyds 6 pack looks different with ariza around hmmmmm...
ariza will give him super shakes (but never gave pac any)
WHY NO VADA TESTING
3 failed test by floyd (with no proof, yet pac was innocent until proven guilty)
I bet floyd wont exchange with Pac he will run

To be honest, I don't see anything wrong with that, as it is a high possibility Floyd was pressured into this fight.

But I'm not making excuses. Despite all this talk about Ariza or roids or whatever, my opinion on this fight hasn't changed; this is one fight I can't say for sure if Floyd wins, nor am I 100% sure if Pacquiao wins. I'm pulling for Pacquiao but I'm not overlooking Mayweather either. This fight can truly go either way.

If he mentioned it interviews, then why shouldn't we think Pacquiao wanted the fight? Meanwhile, Floyd making all these demands makes it hard to believe that he was the one pushing for it, as he didn't need to make those demands in the first place.

Really? Is that the criteria? Because I thought Floyd was still at the table trying to make the fight, while Pac/Arum walked away, but he was still blamed. I also remember him saying in interviews that he wanted the fight in 2012, when Pac declined, and again it was his fault. How about you judge Pac and Floyd by the same standard. Did Pac need to demand a weight penalty? Did Arum need to demand a stadium be built? What about all Pac and Arums lies why they couldn't make the fight? Or the fact that we've heard NOTHING about Pac pushing Arum to make the fight and only says that he fights who they put in front of him. If you are gonna place blame, at least be consistent about how you do it.

I was hoping that Floyd himself would promote this fight more by insulting Pacquiao like Ali did against Frazier. Even just clips of him imitating Pacquiao's singing or something.

Instead we have Roach talking too much, stating the obvious.

Mayweather Sr. is doing his part but Jr. himself should do the promoting. Would love to see him shove Pac in the news conference but that's already right before the fight. The build up could be just as fun as the fight itself.
