    Mayweather vs Pacquiao happens and the fight is a borefest? Not only that, but the when the PPV numbers come out...it does about 900k buys only?

    I dont know about anywhere else but here in Chicago NOBODY watches boxing and some people (that ive talked to) think the fight has already happened.

    Any thoughts?

    You know what be weirder? If Mayweather actually agreed to fighting Manny.

    I always thought that if the fight happens it turns out to be a huge disappointment. Floyd boxes and stays at range winning a boring 12 rounds. And when I say "disappointment" and "boring", I'm referring to general consensus.

    But yes it would most likely be a bore and I think most people are done with the idea so the ppv #'s would be lower than expected. They'd drop a billion in promo and lose.

    Or if it happened and ended on a first round accidental clash of heads.

    There's not much of a chance that it does anything less than 2 million buys if it happens any time soon, though there is definitely a blueprint for Mayweather to pot shot Manny with his right and win fairly comfortably.

    However, I'm virtually all in with post #2.

    Or if Floyd got outboxed by Manny and lost every round

    The overwhelming odds should favor a comfortable "safe" Floyd decision. Logic prevails 9 times out of 10 in boxing. Styles make fights, and Manny is just too predictable for Floyd not to outsmart him.

    In 2007 Mayweather-DLH was HUGE and the actual fight was so-so. Not boring like Mayweather-Baldomir or Klitschko-Povetkin, but it wasn't a good fight.

    Biggest fight I've lived, though.

    It would be funny if Mayweather was completley shut out by Manny putting on a clinic, pot shotting his way to a boring UD!! I just hope its not a draw, this and every other boxing forum would go into meltdown!!

    Of course it will be boring if they ever fight (which I doubt) Does anybody really think that Floyd is going to come out and go all Hagler-Hearns on us? He will run and potshot off his back foot all night and pretty much try to run out the clock from the 1st round on. I just don't see this fight doing the business it would have done a few years ago, people are starting to see thru Floyd. I certainly won't be throwing away any more money on his fights

    Trust me, it will do around 2.5-3 million buys if this fight happens. But if it turnsout a snoozefest and a competitive decision that leads to a rematch, just expect low numbers on its 2nd fight.

    The fight is going to be very-anti climactic when it happens. But it's gonna do 2 million buys.

    If this fight is being made, it can only be dissapointing, because it's being hyped too much.
