    Call me crazy but now even my 40 year old next door neighbours have heard of floyd mayyweahter and manny paqiaou....Im in Australia and BOXING is never on the news unless its Darchiniyan or Katsidis or Green...Pacman and Mayweather were on channel 10 news (Free To air Service)..

    I dont think any other fight has ever raised so much awareness and controversy about this fight and two fighters...

    I could be wrong but if im right...the Promotions team deserve 40 million as well...

    Maybe Floyd's side wants to add some hype for the fight and mess with Manny's head.

    I don't see Pacquiao and his team being so willing to have people question Pacquiao being on PEDs all for the sake of promotion. The fight's already huge to begin with.

    Nah to be honest it hasnt been that big of a drama in the UK. Even sky sports has hardly spoke about it. It big news in america. But i think when the contract are finally signed, everyone around the world will be talking about it.
