    No fans allowed and even the credentials for media will be hard to come by. Wtf?

    First no all-access, then no 24/7, no multi-city tour, and now the only press conference they'll have to kick of promotion is closed to the public? Is this fight even for the fans?

    This is absolutely so stupid, and it makes me so mad.

    Why is Floyd doing this? Can someone provide an answer? He's making this really lame. We've waited for 6 years. The least he can do is let us attend the Fight of the Century's first(and one of the only) official press conference.

    Now he probably won't even really trash-talk Pacquiao and the face-off will be lame. It's like he is downplaying the hype. Why is he doing this, and how do you feel about it?:fire

    I heard there will be ambulances on stand by requested by Floyd. Heard it has to do with something about health come first.

    How did you come to the conclusion that this is Floyds fault?

    Because Mayweather Promotions aka Mayweather is running all promotions aspects and press conferences, the few there are. So, if no fans are allowed, it went by Floyd and it was his decision. If you read the piece of the detailed contract from Pac's instagram, it even said.

    He probably doesn't want to answer questions like these.

    They're promoting it all wrong. I get that tons of people will already line up to see this fight, but they should be going all out with promotion right now to get maximum PPV money.

    They should do what they did with the Mayweather vs Alvarez promotion. Multi-city tours, TV show appearances together, etc. Go all out!

    seems a bit strange to me, almost as if they don't want to hype it up too much in case of an "injury" before may 2nd.
