And booking hotel in 3...2....1. See ya there!
For the next three months there are going to be two kinds of boxing fans: Those who think Mayweather will win by unanimous decision and those who are delusional.
I mean, there's always the chance, but you'd be insane to put anything on it.

May 2nd will be amazing. They already have my money whatever the cost of the PPV in £££. Food will also be bought.
Stack that undercard as well.

Everyone expects an outboxing to a decision as Floyd's key to victory. Just imagine the bitter tears if he gets the knockout.

What makes this awesome is that there will be bitter tears no matter what the decision.

I want Pac to win because Money stans are fucking insufferable but I'm also a realist.

I don't care who wins I just want to see a good fight.

Khan is the only one that could cause him problems at that weight. Would be a much better fight.
Rather see this once though
The forums I visit would be insufferable if Floyd got knocked out. The tears on one side, the gloating on the other. Mass hysteria and excuses. Cries of steroids and whatnot. Insanity.

Khan could be next as long as there is no rematch or floyd does not retire.

Yeah, I was going to do the same but the expected $1K+ ticket cost made me reconsider. Probably should have booked it anyway & cancelled later, considering they sold through the rest of the rooms 15min after the announcement.
lol @ anyone thinking Pac has "no chance".
Floyd doesn't like fighting quick southpaws, got dazed (and should have been a knockdown) by both Corley (far inferior fighter) and Mosley, and hasn't looked great in his last few fights against subpar competition.
Pacquiao on the other hand has dominated all of his recent fights, and besides that flash knockout against Marquez, a fight he was also dominating, he hasn't looked bad in any single recent fight. Last shitty fight he had was probably Clottey who was way underrated at the time. He beat Bradley easily the first time but was robbed, so he came back and beat him easily again. Those "two" losses are what has people thinking this will be such an easy fight for Mayweather, but I don't think it will.
The problem for Manny is that this relentless version of him:
http://youtu.be/11pBCi_0T8w?t=30s
is gone. He's no longer a ruthless finisher (even though he didn't finish that fight but he went for it), and against Mayweather he's going to have to bring that Pacquiao back from the dead for one fight, or he will lose by split decision. I'm guessing either fighter will win by split decision, don't see either one cruising. It certainly won't be easy though, and he definitely doesn't have "no chance".

That wasn't a flash knockout. You must be thinking of a flash knockdown, where a guy gets clip and the lights go out for a second but he is able to get back to his feet fairly quickly and isn't still shaken.
Manny was hammered and out for some time. He was well and truly KTFO by Marquez.

Yes.
He defiantly got knocked the fuck out, but could happen to anyone that got clocked like that. I think way to much emphasis is placed on that knockout. My money is on Mayweather, but counting out Pac for that is stupid.
