    I saw recent interview of The Real Deal in which he cleared up the air on who he picked in the May vs. Pac fight. He said he was misquoted recently about picking Pacquiao and essentially waffled on picking a winner. He was then asked about his conspiracy theory as to why, if it comes to a decision, Pacquiao will get the nod. He said Mayweather's mistake was announcing his retirement when he signed his 6 fight contract, because you should never tell people when you're leaving, because it makes it a little easier for them to rob you. That was not his quote exactly, but that's how I interpreted it. He insinuated because Mayweather only has 1 fight after Pacquiao, the powers that be, would love nothing more than to have May be. Pac II. I've always loved boxing, so I'm the type who has always frowned on conspiracy theories, but at the same time I'm not nieve to boxing politics, and thought this is a perspective I've not heard yet. It almost reminds me of an interview Mayweather gave about fighter who want to leave Arum, in which he stated "you can leave, but you're going to leave with a loss" (Mayweher's. Words not Arum). Thoughts

    Yes, that is how it works.
    ... sometimes.

    I wouldn't be at all surprised if we get a dodgy decision either way.
    A draw really wouldn't surprise me either.

    as true as this is if floyd gets a clear decision and they try and rob him (like the canelo fight for example) no one is going to be demanding a rematch? its kinda like the first bradley pac fight, we all know what we saw, official decision or not we dont need no rematch

    This isn't a fight that will get a rematch. Forget about it. Too extenuating, too intense, too much buildup.

    And who is the most powerful man in boxing? Gaymon. Try denying it. And who is the most powerful boxer? Floyd. You know that well.

    Floyd already robbed Castillo of a win.

    If there's someone who's going to get robbed, that's PAquiao. Even Bradley robbed him, FFS!

    Paquiao needs a ko, to have it scored a draw.
