    You know I can't even remember who Pacman fought, but that one. I'm unfortunately a sucker for the mega fights, and almost always order them. I'm boycotting Maywhethers though (like his new nickname)?

    Didn't you see what happened during the marg-manny fight? Mexicans don't care and will always buy fights whenever their own are involved in big events.

    I may boycott Hopkins-Dawson. Maybe. But not this fight, you're a nut.
    Star Power is an appropriate name for this card.

    if people didn't boycott pacquiao/margarito or pacquiao/mosley, they won't boycott mayweather/ortiz.

    Get a clue! Only if he is self-promoted and puts up all the money, then he would be the one to loose a boycott. But he is not, it is GBP, HBO & MGM that is putting up the money and his money is guaranteed. The only possible damage a collective fan base could do is hut the ppv earnings. Which typically for him is about $5-$7 above the minimum profit margin mark and for a fight like this that mark will be above the 700K. If Mayweather 's guarantee is above $15 Million then that mark goes higher.

    BOYCOTT? If youve got issues with who Maywheather fights then dont watch the fight at all, I believe in choices and a mans right to charge for his services. Sounds like you trying to control how people spend thier money. I for one will be paying to see it cause thats what I wanna do.:bbb:bbb:bbb

    Why would you boycott this fight? He's fighting a guy almost a decade younger, who looked impressive and aggressive in his last fight beating an undefeated fighter to take the belts at 147lb. Would you rather have him fight another old and shot fighter like both Mayweather and Pacquiao have been doing lately? Aside from Pacquiao, who else is there that's relevant in the weight class?

    both floyd and pac are pass their primes already right now they're not the best boxers just the bigger names.. the thing with boxing is that is set up that way.. you have to bust your tail off in the beginning to create a name and a reputation then you can coast and make the money

    boxers usually make more money at the end of their careers in crappy fights....
