    i'm down for a perma-ban. But I called out Holy Grail awhile ago for a monetary bet and he never responded.

    I guess people are forgetting how Pac always struggles against counter punchers like Marquez who KO'ed him. Mayweather is a better counter puncher with more pop and speed. Mayweather will be doing something no one has done in a long time against Pac. Attacking that body, Pac's weakness.

    Cotto and Bradley hammered his body, it's hardly a weakness. And Marquez is the only counter puncher who gave him trouble, he's a different fighter from Morales fight so wont go that far back.

    Floyd admitted to ducking. This wasn't planned. What if Pac had retired after the Roidquez KO?

    You forgot to mention jmm fought pac many times. Eventually jmm will get the timing and he did so.

    Yes floyd can still find a way out by faking an injury or something. That's why it took so long before he was forced to sign it.

    Wonder what the undercard will be.I hope they pack it.
    Canelo vs Cotto?
    This is a chance to showcase what boxing is all about and scoop more fans.It's an investment

    Was looking at ESPN picks, Most of them seem genuine, but Campbell says pac by decision, when if you follow his chat, he's always favored floyd in this matchup, or at leas implied floyd wins handily.

    I guess they have to 'first take' this thing as well, aka skip v's smith, to help promote and cover the fight for fans, and both sides.
    Irks me when ESPN, pulls this Fox News type ****, just to appease both sides, and cover both fanbases.

    Not even close, but moneywise of course. Frazier-Ali I, Duran-Leonard I, Holyfield-Tyson I, Hagler-Hearns, Sanchez-Gomez were better h2h fights. But cuz these 2 are the 2 most popular fighters from this era this fight is massively hyped. Great fight nevertheless.

    "One of the main reasons why this deal got done, as opposed to deals in the past, was because Leslie Moonves [President and CEO, CBS Corporation] was a part of the process. He was deeply committed to making this deal and was someone that all parties in this negotiation really respect. He was really the catalyst for seeing this through and refused to take no for an answer from any side."

    Obviously, Moonves couldn't refuse to take no from HBO/TR/Pac, so it could only mean Floyd/Haymon.

    Moonves very obviously FORCED Floyd to take the fight after losing a ton of money on Guerrero and the 2 Maidana fights.

    :deal

    :hi:
