    Almost assured brain damage .I think the middle class jerks who big up this ****e are either silly and inexperienced or total wannabe hardcases who were bullied as kids..There are plenty of safer sports requiring the same skill sets

    Unfortunately Pacquiao doesn't have a prayer. Walks into them too easy, which is why he's lost to people who were theoretically worse fighters. Mayweather will dominate start to finish and probably get a late-ish knockout as Pacquiao comes out to try and get a KO. After that, hopefully Mayweather will fight Khan, which he will win again and finish on 50-0 for his career.

    I fancy Floyd to be fair, there's a lot of people want Pac man to win but I think he'll soon find out he's been chasing nothing more than a big pay day.

    Speaking of pay days if this happened 5/10 year ago there's no way the purse would be as big, which is what both of these fighters care most about.

    Anyone looking to get to Vegas for the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, we are doing packages for flight and 3 days accom for £880, flying from Manchester.

    Inbox me and move sharp, just for the record the London flights have gone up almost £300 overnight, so move sharp!

    MGM won't sell through agents and are charging a fortune, so this includes Stratosphere.

    Manny is a shadow of the bloke who bounced around the ring and seemed to be able to throw punches from every angle possible a few years back.

    Floyd is a far better boxer as it currently stands, damn shame they never thought in their primes. Floyd shouldn't be considered an all time great though in my eyes. He should be remembered the same way Calzaghe has been. A great boxer who picked and chose his fights and took on greats when they were past it.

    The best champion of my time as a boxing fan, in my eyes, is Carl Froch. He fought everyone, he didn't always win, he didn't always box pretty or even especially well but he'd get in a ring with anyone and was only ever one punch away from a knockout.

    The fights 5 years too late. The fact it's took so long to arrange is a farce. No wonder I've moved over to MMA.

    TT your right about the purse but the fight should have taken place 10 years ago. To the fighters the purse is more important to the fans seeing both fighters at their peak. Imo Mayweather has ran as long as he could. Think Pac will win but not overly bothered as Mayweather is a superb boxer
