Mayweather is definitely worried about this fight.
He hasn't released any silly videos of himself show boating in training.
He has changed his training regime and admitted pac man is a beast.
This is the first time mayweather has been humble and so he should be.

I don't care who wins, although I prefer pac mans warrior style, I just want to see and hope the fight really is special and all we hope it could be

Khan of 2015 and under Virgil Hunter is a completely different fighter. He still has a fragile jaw but is learning how to protect that now. His defence is much better.

Khan Vs Brook will happen but Eddie Hearn's just a pumped up prick of the highest order!!

Mayweather is taking this fighter very seriously, hopefully it'll be a great fight

The fight actually starts at 4am so the places to watch it will be limited,my local boozer is charging 10£ a ticket to watch it,which i think is quite resonable.

I normally watch fights with my sparring/training partner and my brother because we know when to talk and when to listen.. :roll: I cant stand them people who talk through the whole thing! :x

That plus we actually score the fight and compare our results with the judges at the end :chuckle:

but my mate will be in tenerife (gutted when he realised his mrs booked the tickets for this date so he will be trying to find somewhere showing it over there :chuckle: )with his mrs so im probably going to be watching it with my brother :D

The show starts at midnight but yea the fight will probably be around 5am.. Pure adrenaline and maybe some coffee will get us through lol

7 days away!! 8O 8O

I was a massive boxing fan in my younger day and knew everything that was going on. Unfortunately, Sky got involved and everything went to shit, because I won't have sky on principle. This is a real shame, but I would like to see Manny win it because I remember him to be one of the hardest fighters I had seen in his weight category.

Even now, this is a good match. Anyone got any on line feeds to it?

Mate I know exactly what you mean! I pay more then I think is reasonable to sky every month so I specifically avoid paying box office fee's as I think it is robbery considering how much we pay already..

I normally do find live streams online to watch boxing main events but the quality is always shite lol this is prob the last time I will pay for a fight as I want to watch it in perfect quality :o:

There will be streams mate you will need to Google it on the night and have a little search :thumb:

Thank you. I will do that. :D

Enjoy it. I hope it's not a cagey one where they are showing each other too much "respect" which results in a dull fight finishing on points assessment. :)

The only thing worrying me about Sky winning the bidding for the UK rights to this fight is that we may be getting good old Jim Watt as commentator for the richest/biggest fight in history! :eek: 8O :?

How often he gets it wrong and how stupid he often appears, Im astounded he's still in the job.....

Cannot wait! :-)

As for Tyson comments I'm no boxing expert but for me he is the most fascinating fighter
He had such an aura about him and achieved so much so young
I used to dislike him when I was younger but actually he is my favourite
A pre prison tyson I think is right up there amongst the greatest boxers of all time
Only after buster Douglas beat him because his mum died and he promised his mum he beat him then wveberyone started beating him because they believed it could be done
What happened was they realised they just has to outlast Tyson
Tyson had the power not the endurance hence he goes for quick KOs
His KOs were spectacular though

Plus i do not want someone who calls himself "floyd money mayweather" and calls his entourage "the money making team" to win anything,its soooo crass!!
this, he doesn't seem to show any humility (I realise they have to put up a front) besides Manny is a God fearing man, and I always have admiration for someone that places importance in such things.

My excitement is through the roof right now!

It feels like Christmas Eve as a kid waiting for Christmas day so I can finally open my presents! I just hope I'm not disappointed!

Win or Lose Pacman ALL the way!!

Manny all the way, especially when I found out he's an Arsenal fan! :D

I hope he achieves a big K O.

I was talking to my mate about a 1st round knockout and how un-imaginable that would be! 8O 8O

I think that would be the most shocking thing of my era.. like when buster douglas Ko'd mike tyson!

One can only dream! :roll:

I'd take Manny getting a KO any round. It would be disappointing if he did it first round.

It would and it wouldn't imo

Upside: the look on all the payweather fans and staff would be priceless and there would be no excuses of robbery controversy etc

downside would be the 6 year wait for less then 3 minutes action! :chuckle:

I think its safe to say we wont see it so nothing to worry about! lol

It's going to be 3am! 8O I think I'll try and catch it later on in the day.

Hope you enjoy the fight and it's everything you could have asked for :)

credit were credit is due he made pacquiao look ordinary :( Mayweather dominated that fight bigtime!

Pacman doesnt have that killer instinct anymore..i think the marquez KO is still in the back of his mind..

Oh well :(

As a boxing contest it was awesome

As a fight it was boring

Hats of to Mayweather. He fought his fight and pacman had no plan B. Mayweather doesn't need a plan B

Mayweather landed 148 punches of 435, while Pacquiao landed 81 of 429

The other way round dude, Mayweather dominated while Manny didn't even turn up.

Mayweather's style is a defensive counter-puncher and he did that brilliantly!!!
