    You gents are misreading the body language the same way you did with the Rigondeaux and Donaire fight.

    I'm sure both guys are a little worried. I'd be more surprised if they weren't.

    Pac finally knows what he's up against. The stare down told a lot, and Pacs fans are scared lol...

    So according to your logic, Pacquiao has shown fear for his past 10 or so fights? Because in the majority of those, he has smiled in every press conference or weigh in. Heck he smiles during his ring walks. Seriously?

    Pacquiao seemed calm during the actual press conference, but face to face Pacquiao looked SHOOK!!!!

    This guy knows what's up.

    On top of everything else, just imagine the worry alone caused by the thought of having to send back thousands of t-shirts and hats back to the manufacturer for alteration. TSBE

    I have to say it was Mayweather who looked jumpy. Pacquiao seemed unfazed. However I wouldn't read too much into it. Floyd often appears nervous but still outboxes his opponents. Manny may have the psychological edge but I still expect him to lose - albeit in a closer fight than many imagine.

    Exactly. Floyd only sells PPVs because of the 0. If he gets a loss his PPVs will drop to 300-400k or worse. Half his buys are people wanting to see him lose.

    Agreed. It's almost as obvious as when he claimed that Manny was the one who was pressured into taking this fight :lol:

    I'm glad I'm not the only one saying Floyd was out of character. After watching only 1 minute of the very last photo-op I turned to my mom and said, "Floyd is acting weird. What's wrong with him?"

    I watched the whole presser later. It was weird!!!!! It was as if he took a Xanax or something before the conference lol.

    He was very out of character. But I dont think its fear. I do however think reality has just set in for him. He knows there is a good chance he will lose that 0. And that made him very uncomfortable.

    I think Manny is the first opponent where Mayweather isn't 100% sure he'll win. Like Marquez, Ortiz, Guerrero, Canelo, Maidana... Floyd KNEW he'd win 100%. There was no doubt. However, I think he realizes this is Manny Pacquiao in front of him now, a ATG, co-king, and Floyd may not be 100% sure about this one. Floyd may have some uncertainty about his chances to win. Like his dad said, "Floyd would beat him easy, he just doesn't know it yet."

    And I think that uncertainty, as small as it could be, may be eating him alive. I bet it'll make him more focused though, so he'll come in as a monster on fight night. Manny's got to be careful! A desperate fighter is a dangerous fighter!

    Why pac should be worried? Pac has several loses on his boxing record.

    This is a win win situation for pac, he get to feel the punch of P4P King, and get paid 80 million.

    looks like Floyd was more worried than manny.

    Manny should come up with a reply like "I can hear it in his voice. He's very worried."
