$100 for this fight in HD!? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck (cuz really, if you're paying that much already, who's not gonna spring for the HD for this shit?)

Lots of bars are gonna be full on that night

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Lol @ someone believing ringside tickets would cost $40 million. $40k maybe.

The strip is going be on fire that weekend.

 

[Tekniqs]

Of course. I would expect some his fans to turn on him like some did to Roy.

Roy could have retired after beating Ruiz and called it a day. He would've gone down as one of the best of all time in boxing.

Instead, he fights Tarver twice, gets laid out in the rematch, gets KTFO by Johnson in the next fight, and his legacy is forever tarnished.

i don't like that line of thinking. I don't think Roy's legacy is tarnished due to what happened at the end of his career. That drop in weight killed his body. I agree though that he should have retired after dominating Ruiz.
Dude was UNTOUCHABLE in his prime.

 

[studyguy]

hahaha. NO.

shhh let them believe.

Spoiler

The purse is probably close

 

[TuXx]

I'm super curious on this as well.
Rigo vs Santa Cruz was supposedly in talks for a fight in May hmm hmm hmm

Santa cruz bitched out. He don't want it with Rigo, Plus neither of them are with Top Rank or Mayweather promotions

 

[paolo11]

Plus, he was confident a few years ago that he could roid up and still beat the drug test, so that will probably be perfected by this time.

hehehehehehe..

Regardless, he needs to focus on the fight. I pray his fellow politicians will not bother him.

Aye Rigo is Golden Boy iirc, still I'd like to see a big fight and I've heard 0 of anything planned near that time.

 

[DominoKid]

Money May gonna have Pac stans in tears again. Cant wait. Sad Pac stans are one of the things I love most about boxing.

 

[no maam]

Finally.

 

[Verendus]

Well, I know where I'm going May 2nd.

Viva Las Vegas.

That reaction compilation vid of fans watching him get KO'd in real time is classic.

"He's fucking dead!"

They come with 2 beach front houses.

 

[FinKL]

So who do I need to bet on? I remember the last Pacquio fight I watched, the underdog won by decision which was clearly fucked up since even a casual like me thought Pacquio deserved the win. I'm assuming it's gonna happen again and someone is gonna get paid.

 

[Jigolo]

2015. 20fucking15.

Movies, music, sports, games

lol it was meant to be a joke along with the ppv price but ayy I wouldn't put it anywhere above 25k tbh.
I think Canelo v Mayweather was like 20k ringside wasn't it?

Finally. Took too long.

Unless Floyd gets popped he will probably win by split decision.

 

[Bullza2o]

It's about time! Let's go Pacquiao!

 

[smoothj]

No matter if it's past the time... this will be THE fight of the year.

 

[cluxdeluxe]

[Fox318]

I hope the undercard is at least decent at that price.

 

[RBH]

My friend told me that he already reserved a hotel room in Vegas nearly a month ago for the May 2nd weekend, just in case.

Maybe I'll take him up on that. Just to be in Vegas that weekend would be amazing.

 

[Jarrod38]

Besides the most expensive PPV event it will also be the most illegal view stream.

Roy fell into his haters line of thinking that he never fought anyone noteworthy in his career besides a green Hopkins and an overweight Tony.

Roy took a chance fighting Tarver after the drop in weight to prove the haters wrong. He knew the risk and the rest is history.

 

[King Cobra]

People really want to watch two old washed up dudes fight?

I love comments like this, either of these old dudes would leave you like a vegetable faster than you can say mom close the door.


My boy money has this in the bag, it's going to be a great day for his account manager.

 

[FinKL]

$$$ bet it is!

 

[norm9]

No doubt. It'd be dumb to watch that way though. Illegal streams are going to crash from all the traffic. Not trying to 'watch' the fight like a slideshow.

 

[Blackstarhat]

my bf booked a hotel at the mgm weeks before this announcement.

 

[Jarrod38]

No doubt. It'd be dumb to watch that way though. Illegal streams are going to crash from all the traffic. Not trying to 'watch' the fight like a slideshow.

Might go to the local bar or movie theater. What would be cool if the consoles would let you stream them.

 

[Tenebrous]

Pac fan, but a realist. Mayweather UD.

 

[TuXx]

First boxing returns to prime time tv and Mayweather vs Pac. 2015 is off to a great start.

 

[BobLoblaw]

Yeah. You'd do just as well listening on the radio. Personally, $100 is a lot, but I'm gonna charge people $20 a head if I'm hosting.

Pacquiao KOs Mayweather

That's where my money is.

 

[illmatic22]

Floyd UD.

Money May gonna have Pac stans in tears again. Cant wait. Sad Pac stans are one of the things I love most about boxing.

Mayweather is a piece of shit but I really can't stand the majority of Pacquiao fans. I don't know who to cheer for.

 

[Killing_Joke]

Fucking aye this is awesome. Don't see the biggie about the pricetag, split that shit.

With that said do they have legal streams? No cable.

 

[Reg]

Fuck yeah! Can't wait.

 

[Jigolo]

It's called a bar

 

[TuXx]

I think Pac gives Floyd a run for his money for the first few rounds, but Floyd will make adjustments and completely takeover the fight by the 7th or 8th

[MetalFearSolid]

Finally. Can't wait

 

[Bluekaveli]

I can easily see the cheapest ticket costing no less that $1500.

 

[Tenebrous]

I can easily see the cheapest ticket costing no less that $1500.

And scalpers seats going for 10x that at least.
