I do not know the correct forum to place this so I guess it will go in here for now.

I know i know...the fight is 5 years late, both fighters are out of their prime, Pacquiao is on roids, Mayweather is ducking.etc. etc.. now that is out the way, let's focus on the fight.

________________________________________________________________________________________

 

The latest news for the fight is Bob Arum stating the fight is imminent and the announcement will be made soon.

I have a feeling that TMT and TR will announce the fight has been agreed to during the Superbowl. There was over 126 million viewers last year so what better way to market the fight. TR and TMT are all about the $$$ so this would be a no brainer. Although, it can be argued that this is a fight that does not even need any marketing given the star power alone.

 

I believe that Floyd is the best boxer in the business however Manny is a fighter that will definitely be his toughest fight.

 

This fight is better late than never. 

 

So, any boxing fans out there?

It's late in the game for this match and they are wanting a payday but I'd still watch it. Haven't really watched boxing since Prince Naseem Hamed got destroyed by Barrera and that had to be more than 10 years ago.

 

Anyone else think Floyd and Manny meeting face to face for the first time at the Heat game the other day wasn't a coincidence? Interesting thought about announcing the fight during the Superbowl....makes perfect marketing sense.

This fight is supposed to bring in 300+ million which would shatter every imaginable record.

 

The contrast in Heavyweights vs. the Welterweights is the speed and stamina v. the brute strength. 

I love both fighters as a boxing fan and this is hard to take sides.

 

Pacquiao was in Miami as a judge for the Miss Universe contest. What Floyd was doing there I don't know but he does have a residence there. Plus he is almost at every Laker home game.

i've never sat down and watched a fight before. i'll find a place to go watch this one.

probably the last great fight in boxing history.

Great fight? Come on man. This would have been a great fight five years ago. Now, who cares. I know boxing fans will watch but I won't. Had it been done when it should have everyone would have tuned in. They will both still get a fat check but that's all it is and it won't be on my dime.

I went to the Hatton v. pacquiao fight in 2009 and just remember how pissed the British fans were. They were all drunk and can't believe they spends thousands to travel from the UK to watch a 2 round fight. There were more fights in the stands than in the actual event

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
