It's been a long road for those who follow boxing, but after 6 years in the making, it's on! What's your thought and predictions people? All welcome

Mayweather I think will be too strong for him, even though I'd like Pacquiao to win. (on points)

Yeah man I think most people forget that Floyd has been fighting guys who are huge compared to him for years now. Manny is a very small WW, there are Bantamweights bigger than him lol, Roach even said Manny was too small for WW hence the move down to face Algieri. I wouldn't be surprised to see Mayweather come in at like 154lbs on the night. I'm picking Mayweather by KO.

Did you watch last night? Wow A.Abrahams were like a machine and G.Golovkin, awesome.

But yeah I say points as they both have the capability to knock each other out. Just think will be a topsy turvy battle and points being the only difference. Ideally would love Pacquiao knock Mr. Moneyman or is it Moanyman down a few pegs or two and win the cash bonanza by way of Tko. Just can't see it.

Haven't watched the Abraham fight yet but I know he won. Golovkin looked like a beast, big up to Murray for lasting that long though, the fact that's the best anyone has ever done against the Golov is scary lol.

I wouldn't be surprised if it went to points, but seeing Pac KO'd by Marquez and wobbled by Bradley has given me my doubts lol. Like I said I think he's too small for the division.

I don't see it been competitive tbh, Floyd has all the tools to win this, they're similar in speed but Floyd has the reach and he uses it brilliantly, that will be a huge factor. Also Mayweather has the footwork and athleticism to deal with Pac's foot speed and angles. Yeah manny has stuff with him like his hand speed, overwhelming aggression, foot speed, angles and combo's but Floyd has seen all of that, Maybe not as good as Pac but he's still seen it.

Pac has never been in there with a guy with defense even close to Mayweather's, or footwork, or accuracy, or timing, or just general ring IQ, Pac couldn't adapt to Marquez after 4 fights, Mayweather is obviously above him in that regard. Also Pac is very open to straight rights. I see him eating a lot of right hands and jabs. Could be wrong. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I hear ya Craig, this has been one of the most anticipated bouts in boxing history but it may very well not even be a good fight visibly lol. There are a lot of fights this year that could well be better than this.

Yeah I think Khan has a better shot against Floyd, with his reach, speed and footwork, still think Floyd has far too many tools to be beat by Khan though.

Anyone seen the bookies odds for this fight?

Mayweather is a very strong favourite at 3-1 on!
Pacman is approx 5/2
Draw is 20s.

A cheeky 50 notes on the Pacman I am thinking!!

Would prefer see the following match ups:

Amir Khan vs Kell Brook
James Degale vs George Groves
Anthony Joshua vs David Price
David Haye vs Tyson Fury
Carl Frampton vs Scott Quigg
Andy Lee vs Billie Joe Saunders
Amir Khan vs Floyd Mayweather
Tyson Fury vs Wladimir Klitschko
Miguel Cotto vs Gennady Golovkin
Callum Smith vs George Groves


I agree the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight has come too late now to be a true spectacle. More interested in the Purse than the actual boxing match and it's fans for far too long IMO.

Ahhhh, I am just gonna ask the local social club if there is any other people wanting to want to watch it? If so, then split the cost between us

Not all of us have amazing dodgy skybox's haha
