I read it's expected to be around 11:20 since there's only 2 fights before which surprised me.

Depends on a few things, but yea 11-12 is a good guess.

Yea, I heard 11 which seemed weird
I'm used to UFC and boxing main events starting at midnight
Casuals are usually what make businesses successful. The day most of the casuals leave boxing is the day when it is finally dead.
A friend was quoted at $3500 for his business to have the fight even though occupancy is like 10 people. I don't even want to think about how much it'd cost a sports bar.
They'll flee just as fast if the decision is clearly bogus. This could be a massive fight for attracting new fans into boxing, and not just this one bout.

even if pac beats floyd
will floyd still have the greater legacy?

Hard to say. It depends on how the fight goes. If MP dominates and KOs him that would be a pretty big deal.
I would love for us to get a fight like this but I highly doubt it.

Manny could score a win by decision if the judges favor the activity of punches thrown.

Is this eastern time US? So if I would use a time converter I could convert from 11.20 pm New York?
What if the other fights end early, will it possibly start earlier?
Not literally dude. Duh.

So around 11 eastern or is that pacific?
It's close. Many would give Manny the edge for winning titles in 8 different weight divisions.
The winner of this edges the other one out, in my opinion. Both are incredible.

I would love to watch this, but I'm not paying $100 to watch it PPV and I'm not going to fight crowds at sports bars. Guess I'll just watch the highlights afterwards 
I don't know about that, Floyd has the better record, but I think Manny has the better legacy up until now. When I think of legacy, I think of who will be remembered generations from now, and I think Manny's career up until this point has been more memorable. Hasn't ducked a soul, has fought anyone put in front of him and looks spectacular in doing so.
Floyd is the better boxing talent, but his diva attitude and the way he has crafted his career is not something I can imagine the old school greats ever doing. All the old school greats have losses on their record because they fought the best out there, multiple times. Pacquiao is in that category.
When Pacquiao beats Mayweather tonight, he instantly moves into a different stratosphere, especially with so many people picking against him. It's not a fight he's expected to win. People expect Mayweather to win this, so when he loses, it will be devastating to his legacy. People will understand why he has dodged this fight for so long, why he has been so quiet and somber throughout the buildup of the fight, why he has shown Pacquiao respect that he hasn't shown ANY other opponent, etc.

how many fights are their before may vs. pac tonight?
Two. It's not a terrible two bouts, though.
Well, that is a good excuse for me not to buy it. Ain't nobody ever been sober at 11PM?!
Start drinking at around 9pm and you should be in a very nice spot when the fight starts.
Leo Santa Cruz is fighting someone I can't remember. Lomachenko is going in against Gamalier Rodriguez.
LSC & Lomachenko to win.
Bingo
They're both too close to call depending on what you consider the more impressive feats (undefeated, 8 belts, opponents etc)
There is no doubting that whoever wins, gets cemented as numero uno (unless they lose a rematch...then we are back to square 1 haha)

I think win or lose Mayweather will have the biggest legacy. Nobody in boxing has done what he's done. He took boxing to a different level. He was P4P king for 10+ years. The next generation of boxers are going to try to top Mayweather's record, P4P length and sales/money.
He took his career out the hands of Top Rank and became the highest paid athlete in history. Crazy.

I disagree, but it's irrelevant at this point, debating what his legacy without a Pacquiao fight would be because it's going to happen. Once he loses to Pacquiao though, he'll still be remembered as great, but Pacquiao will be elevated to god-like status.

Eastern.
Yes, 11:20pm NY. Even if the other fights end earlier, it probably won't be a big difference. They're not going to rush.
No-one in boxing has done what Manny has done, either. Eight division champ, never dodged anyone, with unprecedented combination of power and speed for the weight.
Floyd will be remembered primarily be remembered for his 0. If Manny takes that, he's ahead of Floyd. Right now, as I said, there's next to nothing in it. I can understand arguments either way, but personally, I can't pick. They're both unbelievable talents that excel at different things.
Not a chance, especially losing against Pacquiao. He's fighting against the fighter that people have been clamoring for him to fight against for 5+ years, he's been using excuse after excuse to avoid it, and when it finally happens, he loses? Zero chance his legacy will be bigger than Pacquiao's after tonight. Zero.
It's my first time picking against Floyd, but all signs point towards his first loss tonight.

Whoever wins, Age of Utron loses the opportunity to break the first Avengers' box office record.

I'm not even about to touch the ducking Pacman argument, but pretty much every single up and coming boxer wants a chance at Money. They all want to fight the P4P KING. They all pretty much have there own promotion company.
They are trying to emulate the fighter who got his first title at 98 and REMAINED at the top of the game #1 P4P for over a decade. I don't think any lost can erase that.
Mayweather has this fight tonight, just have my money ready
