Bobfoc Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Are you sure they'll get paid more if it goes the full distance? What incentive would they have to go for a stoppage? Whatever the case, I'm still expecting some sort of judging controversy to occur so that the possibility of a rematch is given more fuel.

Gazz Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I'm expecting Mayweather to comfortably win on points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I think he'll put in a performance worthy of a comfortable points victory, but I'd question whether or not at least one of the judges makes the final scorecard look much closer than it should have been. Boxing is a business before it's a sport, and I can see the promoters leaping at the prospect of a rematch, and a contrived "close" verdict would go a long way towards that goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMarrio Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Mayweather with the comfortable decision. As much as I want Manny to win, there's a reason Mayweather is unbeaten. He's defensively spot on and he's got a better chin than Manny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 In 2010 I think Manny wins one of the best fights of all time, in 2015 I think Mayweather wins one of the most underwhelming fights of all time. I think PacMan has to get pretty lucky to beat him now, though I really hope he does 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddar Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Me being skeptical, I think Mayweather wins a decision close enough for people to call for a rematch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Seems like Mayweather will win by decision is the most likely outcome. Save your 99 dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 $99 is utter madness. It costs £25 here, which is already too much for me. And that's not to mention the tickets, which are being listed at prices as high as $300,000 on StubHub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieG Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Normal seat prices were 10 grand, ringside seats at 100k, apparently only around 1000 tickets were actually up for sale, the rest all comped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddar Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 According to BBC, people bought weigh in tickets for $10 and sold them on for $800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Best case scenario for either guy would be Manny winning, actually, to facilitate a rematch that could equal this fight. If Floyd wins then a rematch would still make money but not as much, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidMarrio Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Is he 2 wins or 1 away from tying with Rocky Marciano in terms of most wins unbeaten? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 2. He's currently 47-0 and Rocky was 49-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobfoc Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Mayweather beat Big Show, so I make him 48-0. While that sounds like a stupid joke, I'm sure I remember one of the WWE commentators unconvincingly trying to claim that Floyd's Wrestlemania victory added another victory to his career win/loss record. Of course, he hasn't faced Brock Lesnar yet, so his streak lacks legitimacy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrilla Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I've gone for Floyd by SD. I don't think it'll be that close but I think they will score it that way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your Mom Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I just read that Floyd banned Michelle Beadle and Rachael Nicols from covering the fight in the arena. Didn't even know he could do something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
