    mind = blown

    Also, before Floyd fought Oscar he referred to manny as an exciting fighter and the #2 pfp (behind him). He also said that fighters like manny don't last very long because the wars take a toll on one's body.

    What's funny is that I don't think Floyd or manny mind each other personally. They respect one another as boxers. All the bad blood between the whole Floyd/manny thing seemed to be more of a Floyd versus Arum thing to me. Either way, shame they never fought. I'm glad Nonito isn't being a puss like Floyd/manny and is fighting the very best. Hopefully Broner does the same

    Donaire was born in the Philippines and speaks Tagalog fluently as his first language but your right that he's also an American citizen.

    On the topic of Mayweather,does anyone else find the marketing of this fight by Showtime terrible?Not even a press conference yet and both guys are being very quiet.
    Does Showtime really believe they can get big PPV numbers just with Floyd's name?
    Horrid marketing!

    lol what? You are about to see the biggest Marketing campaign you have ever seen for a boxing match. 30 days in May starts tonight. The next 30 days will be filled with over 100 hours or TV Marketing of Mayweather

    It's blatantly obvious that Donaire is not going to lose to a man with 11 pro fights.
    Donaire KO3.

    You have to be a twisted Pac nutlicker to interpret this that way.

    Did Floyd refer to Rigo as a "Prospect"??

    HBO is much better than Showtime. Showtime will lose lots of money with that contract they gave Floyd.

    Everybody says Donaire will KO Rigondeaux, which has a good chance of happening but it wont shock me if Donaire out-boxes Rigondeaux for a UD. Donaire has shown he can go the full 12 against champions Vazquez and Mathebula.
