I know Pacman fans can be a bit intolerable but if Mayweather loses I will be fascinated by the reactions. Money fans are amongst the most annoying fans in the history of sports and I honestly think half of them will retire from the internet if Manny wins.

i'm a radical atheist so i rather see a wife beater win than someone who thinks god has anything to do with sports. although to be fair mayweather probably thinks that too but at least he's not so vocal about it.

 

[StylesClash]

I just read about Mayweather's team getting Michelle Beadle and Rachel Nichols banned. All because they spoke about his history of domestic violence. So fuck this fight.

Is everyone's ppv feed just blank right now? I thought pre-fight show happened at 6et?

 

[aronnov reborn]

If you (not you specifically, the general YOU) plan on watching illegal streams, I'm going to predict a night of frustration. Those streams are going to be hammered by everyone, so you'll be stuck with errors and slideshows.

I'm so fucking frustrated!!!! I want to throw my money away and get this damn fight and i dont have any logical way of getting it!!!! I have very basic cable.. i mean basic.. standard def with just a box the size of a deck of cards and just local channels.... I can't even order the fight with this box.. Comcast will literally not let me.

Which ok fine.. how about an HD streaming service through Itunes, or Xbox, or playstation, or Amazon? anything? showtime or hbo app? give me any way to watch this fucker and I'll pay for it!!!! Happily!!!

Wow. This is probably one of the worst comments I've ever seen on the internet. Good job man.

I do think 100% Mayweather will win, but I would love it if Pacquiao won. I can definitely relate more to Pacquiao than Mayweather, though I very much respect the latter's fighting style and defensive skills.

How often does she speak up about her collegue's history of domestic violence?

Floyd is a scumbag but members of the media like Beadle and Olbermann are being nothing but opportunistic with this shit.

 

[El Topo]

i remember the heavyweight title used to be the biggest sports event in all of sports...now it seems like the lower weights. fights like these are more popular..

i like the Klitschkos, but they really put fans away from HW boxing

There's only one Klitschko left in boxing and he'll likely be gone in a few fights. Besides Klitschko there's some good talent in the divison though and some exciting potential matchups. Unless we have another series of unfortunate events, see Solis/Helenius/Boytsov for examples of unfortunate development, the next years should be pretty good. We should also get Klitschko-Fury this year, which could be a great fight.

Heck, even this month we're gonna get Povetkin-Perez, which (at least on paper) is a promising fight.

So as a radical atheist you are cheering for a wife beater who says he can only be judged by god to win.

Apparently, the decisions got reversed late last night, but neither are covering the fight (Nichols isn't going and Beadle had already left Vegas).

Beadle is a hypocrite, always going at Floyd but never going at Jim "Lay hands on em" Lampley

You're gonna miss him getting a systematic beatdown over 12 rounds, and bloodied up like the Cotto fight x10, but your loss.

[John Dunbar]

i thought that radical atheist bit was already laying it too thick, but i guess not. i'd rather see pacquiao win because i don't like perfect records.

well, i'm not going to see anything because i'm not going to watch the fight.

 

[BuggyDClown]

With the previous highest record being only 2.5million ppv views what are the odds this will break 5million.

Estimates are saying 3 maybe 4.

Ive got 100$ on this not breaking 5.

Views are counted by ppv purchases not actual viewers mind you.

Cool, then don't watch it. Nobody cares. Take your soap box and go home.

Jim's hoping they stop talking about domestic violence so he doesn't get roped in too.

Probably won't break 3 . Seems like a lot of people are splitting the fight or going to a bar

What time is the fight? 11:30 pm ET, right?

[MVP]

History?

As far as I know, he got arrested for pushing his ex one drunken night, and then the case was dropped with no proof. That's a bit different than a 7 time offender who has already done jail time.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't even know about this one incident like 10 years ago.

EDIT: I just looked it up on Wikipedia because I didn't even know about this.

Any fan base is "annoying".

I'm a radial patriot so I hope Floyd wins. USA! USA! USA!

I'm not religious at all and I find people who bring up God all the time annoying af and I'm still rooting for Many He's such a nice and humble dude and just look at how happy he looked during the weigh-in. That's what I call a real champ.

Mayweather has great skills but he's a POS.

 

[CountAntonius]

Because Floyd is undefeated and arrogant he breeds a different kind of superfan than most.

Not arrogant, confident.

 

[D4Danger]

why do so many people feel the need to announce they're not watching this for some moral reason? who fucking cares.

I do not have cable

still hope to catch this fight online later

I feel like a lot of people will be disappointed at the lack of "action" specially people who don't usually watch the sport, or more specifically, know how Mayweather fights and controls his fights.

Hope I'm wrong, but I don't see Pacquiao winning more than 3 rounds.

You always get the people who get mad that the fight doesn't resemble something out of a Rocky movie, especially with Floyd fights. If he is able to put on a defensive clinic I'm already ready for the accusations that he ran and was afraid to fight.

Yeah this is my biggest fear. I hope Manny wins but at the very least I want it to be an entertaining fight and not in the boring ass "Floyd showing his technical brilliance" type fight but in Manny stepping up and making Floyd have to actually throw punches. If this goes to decision there is no way I see Pacman winning. He needs to lay it all out and either get KO'd or catch Floyd. Floyd's counter punching is scary though he's not just a runner. If Floyd wins a boring typical defensive fight I won't take anything away from him. Manny is the one who needs to step up and take him out of that gameplan if he doesn't boring or not Floyd was the better fighter.

How come Mayweather looked miserable then ?

But again he was getting booed by the audience lol

I know he is confident but Floyd has a lot to lose in this fight. An undefeated legacy. Everyone claiming the fighter he ducked all these years was the one who kicked his ass long after his prime etc. Pacman has his losses and is not expected to win. I don't think Floyd was miserable as much as focused this is the biggest fight of his life.

Maybe he doesn't want to get hurt bad, walk with a limp and not be able to take care of his family, to paraphrase Floyd from a few years ago talking about why he was avoiding Manny.
