Broner has never been in the ring with neither Manny nor Flyod.

Today's Maidana should knock Amir Khan out - even the raw Maidana he fought back then rocked him a few times and would've knocked him out, if not for the ref. Mayweather fought Maidana cos he earned it by beating Broner. Victor Ortis earned it by fighting like a warrior and defeating undefeated Andre Berto (back then).

As for the rest, they were poor fighters handpicked for Manny. Perhaps, he needs to fight Manny. He's qualified

Truth234:


Of course I know Broner has never been in the ring with any of the two but if not for his brotherly relationship with Floyd he would have gotten his own shot. The Maidana Kahn beat and Mayweather was asking Kahn to fight Broner as undercard for his Maidana fight, haba bro you know Kahn is better than that. Don't foget Floyd struggle against Judah and Kahn easily KO him and that is the only fight that Floyd glove touch floor.

SirShymexx:


Khan isn't that big. Is he on PPV? So, why can't he fight as an undercard? He thinks he's bigger than he's and that isn't the case.

Khan fought a washed up Judah, while Mayweather fought a prime Zab Judah - peep the difference. And that fight was too dirty, on Judah's part, to even make any sense whatsoever. Judah never went there to box, he went to rough Mayweather up and play all kinds of dirty games. I don't even count that fight, to be honest.

SirShymexx:


Pacman was juicing up back then cos it's difficult to move up in weight (to different weight classes) and still retain the same power. Hence he gave excuses about not liking needles. Since his conditioner left him, how many people has he knocked out? And he looks more vulnerable than ever.

It's actually perfect timing for both. Mayweather needs the fight to cement his legacy and add a few hundreds of millions to his almost $300 million net worth, and he's going to retire in September, after his last fight. Pacman is broke - he owes Uncle Sam $75 million, so he needs the money.

The old Pacman is gone - it left him after he stopped juicing up and Marquez knocked him out cold. He shouldn't get too aggressive, else, he'll be knocked out cold again. I don't even think the fight will be as close as most think, trust me.

This is Pacman:

roymary:


Styles makes fight- A southpaw boxer is a huge problem and when you have a boxer like Pacman with unimaginable punching angles and awesome footwork with devastating left hook- you are in for a hell of a night. WHen PAcman got knocked out by Marquez, Manny was winning that damn fight- he got too reckless and was caught. Every boxer has a bad day and i guess that was his- Tonight Floyd will kiss the canvass- he couldn't handpick Manny.

Truth234:


One thing I am sure is he would get his shot, UK and the entire middle East are behind him.

SirShymexx:


UK wants to see a Brit in a big bout, but not everyone will support him - peep the difference. A lot of folks don't like Amir Khan, and rightfully so. He talks too much. He definitely won't get the same support Ricky Hatton got.

As for Arab Muslims, good for them - they haven't had any decent boxer with Arab ancestry, since Prince Naseem Hamed (my nyggah).

But boxing purists don't care about Khan.

Nihilist:


Money MOST DEFINITELY doesn't want to trade with Pac. We already know that Pac is going to coming swinging, cutting the lanes, and trying to get in. Floyd senior is ready for this and announced that Money is going to try and end it early.My money is on Counter punch KO in the 4th,5th or 6th.

I dey go barb my hair and collect my suit.

Man is watching this one suited and booted. no time

50calibre:

Then how was he able to beat the system this long? These guys are subjected to rigorous testing before & after fights, the system is too sophisticated for drug cheats, no way is anyone (let alone a Filipino) going to pull that off with the kind of millions at stake in these fights.. The boxing cooperations are no mugs, they must have looked into Pacquiao when these allegations were flying around.

Mayweather demanded that Pacquiao be subjected to Olympic style testing which required random blood tests over a period of 3-6 months.. That's just too painful, I wouldn't even agree to it.

As you said, it's difficult to move up weight class and still maintain power but not impossible.

How the hell is Pacquiao broke, are you sure that's true? The guy has career earnings in excess of $200 mill, and he's not as extravagant as floyd so where did all his money go?

Hahaha people keep bringing up this Marquez KO.. you should remember he fought this guy 4 times of which he won 2, drew 1. I think this KO made him a better man, and will make him a better fighter. Don't expect floyd to do this, he's no Marquez and I don't think Pacquiao will be foolishly jumping in like he did there.

Truth234:


Lol..

KingTom:
See me see my mumuness, I dey look Las Vegas time eh? Abeg na tomorrow I go find out, make I go sleep

SirShymexx:


Lol.

The whole country was behind Hatton - the last great British hope, after the greatness of Lennox Lewis. But when he took that sweet left hook, everyone almost cried. I remember that fight - it was my first year in Uni, and I watched it in a pub. Memories. Both St. George's flag and Union Jack were everywhere in that pub - and Brits were the loudest in vegas that night.

Reminiscent of David Haye Vs. Wladimir Klitschko - another hype who flopped. Can't be supporting flops, man.

Khan won't get the same support in the UK.

Stunner1:



Hahaha abeg oo I no sabi fyt oo na watch I dey watch

Bt I knw one or two wicked moves thanks to roman reigns

chic2pimp:


No mind am. Dude knows next to nothing about boxing but still insists on calling out folks with superior knowledge on the noble sport.

If manny keeps close and tight to Prettyboy all through the fight, If He can maintain the same level of intensity all through the rounds, He has an absolutely massive chance(Make it a brawler's contest rather than a Boxers). If not It's May. People tend to forget Mayweather in addition to being one of the most supremely gifted BOXER of all time is also one of the hardest worker in the history of Sport(Yes u heard that right. Not boxing o SPORT

Truth234:


What about Chisoro Vs Klitschko? Another flop but trust me Kahn has British support already, Hatton and other retired boxers are have started calling for it but why do you hate Kahn nah?

daveP:
lol

SirShymexx:


Lol. You remember the slogan for Ricky Hatton? - Gooo, Rickyyy Hatton!!! Till the left hook took him to sleep and he was never the same after that.

I don't even count Chisora as a boxer - he's more of a wannabe roadman from Zimbabwe who got into boxing, with his link to some naija dons (Uncles) from North London. He isn't even decent - not ratings. Even with his fake road nonsense - David Haye showed him what a real roadman from Peckham looks like. He's a bum.

Trust me, I used to like Amir Khan - but the doozy talks too much with his glass jaw, despite how poor boxers keep knocking him out everywhere. He thinks he's better than he's. At least Ricky Hatton, in his prime, did beat a couple of decent fighters and world champions. Kostya Tszyu and Castillo. Who has Amir Khan fought?

The UK has a decent young wave of new talents - and I'm focusing on them.

Truth234:


Yeah, he said a lot of unnecessary things when this fight was announced. Saying Mayweather took the easy way out as if he is better than Manny but I think that was because he thought he was the next in line and Mayweather opt for Manny.

SirShymexx:


Lol. Tax evasion and Bob Arum pimping him. Check this link: http://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2014/08/22/manny-pacquiao-lands-75-million-blow-in-tax-evasion-case/

That's why I laugh when ignorant folks mock Mayweather for flaunting his wealth, and say he's going to go broke. This guy has a net worth of over $280 million without any endorsement whatsoever and tax problems. Very smart businessman and with the genius of Al Haymon the ghost around you - you can never go broke. So, he knows what he's doing - bad publicity sells, hence all the haters always troop out to buy tickets and PPVs to see him lose - more money in the bank. Do you even know that two of his cars are part of the few cars on the planet that appreciates in value? He bought them for over a milli piece and they're both now worth over 6 milli combined - enough to foot the bill of all the cars he has, with loose change.

They don't really test them that much - Vegas is overly corrupt. And Pacman rarely stays in the US, so juicing would've been easy for him. For him to retain his punching after moving up in weight classes, is a pointer. He was juicing up and everyone knew.

How's it painful when it would be done by both parties? They also do it in other sports - so why should boxing be different?

Lol. Pacman never won two fights against Marquez - they rigged it twice. He only won one, and Marquez whooped his ar.se in the other three fights. Go watch those fights on YouTube. But did you see how Mayweather schooled Marquez?

SirShymexx:


He just wants a big pay check without earning it. I think that was also why he signed with Al Haymon.

I don't even think Mayweather will fight him. Fighting Pacman twice and retiring makes more business sense than fighting Amir Khan and his glass jaw. And he has only one fight left before he retires. Hopefully, he'll stay away from Khan and let him earn greatness by fighting folks on his level.

Khan is just an average boxer - he needs to focus on Kell Brook. Heck, there are few boxers in his weight class that will knock him out.

freshcvv:


So you self do not know Manny got beaten in 2004? When you think you know..chai...

rawpadgin:
pacquiao's boat
mayweather is too pompous

50calibre:

Lol Yeah those his Instagram pics are getting a lot of people really worked up. I personally don't have a problem with him flaunting his wealth, he earned every penny and deserves to do whatever he wants with his money but c'mon if billionaires can go broke, anyone can go broke.

Showing off a couple of cars, jewelleries and a few stacks of cash is not enough to make floyd broke. The guy earns money like no other athlete, he earned $75 million for his last two fights.. It's going to take a really bad decision like marriage to dent his net worth.

He may not be able to read words, but he definitely knows how to read numbers, he's in full control of his money. However, I don't know if I will call Floyd an astute business man, with all that money, there are a lot more business opportunities to be explored which he isn't exploring. In my opinion, his business acumen is not as sharp as that of 50 cent.

That been said, it's easy for floyd to spend without worry right now but after he retires and the money stops coming in bulk, then he's going to have to adjust his spending else he will run into problems sooner or later. I heard few weeks after this fight was announced, he wrote a letter to his team that he would retire after the two fight left in his contract, and won't be able to be everyone's saviour anymore. Smart move I must say. Leeches are the easiest way to bankruptcy.

As long as there's no juice in his blood or urine before or after the fight, then I don't see how it enhances his performance during the fight. Just like bodybuilding, you can only perform better while on the juice but once it's effect clears, you're back to normal while traces of it will linger a little longer in the blood. Not worth it in my opinion.

You know sports don't work that way, it took floyd 10 rounds to beat Hatton but took Pacquiao just 2..

Truth234:


That is exactly my fear, Mayweather Vs Manny II is going to be bigger if this fight is close. No one will even remember Kahn again lol
