Boxing thread

[Nope.]

I like Mayweather 5x more just because of how white dudes over 40 call him a thug and hope he gets destroyed. I remember the Gatti fight in '05 where he absolutely destroyed Gatti and silenced the crowd in the first minute.

Also agree on the liking boxing way more than MMA front.

[Coach K]

I like boxing and mma.

pac n Mayweather is a waste. They should've had this fight 10 years ago.

Paxman woulda taken his lunch money. But now he's way past his prime and Mayweather is still one of the best defensive boxers of all time.

I expect Mayweather to win on a decision



Now i really want to see keith thurman vs mayweather

The fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. will cost $99 to watch on pay-per-view, the Wall Street Journal's Joe Flint reports.

It'd be the most expensive pay-per-view fight ever. PPVs for big boxing matches and UFC fights typically cost around $59. The previous record was $74.95.

Flint reports that a standard definition feed will cost $89. HBO and Showtime, the two companies that the respective fighters have preexisting deals with, are still hammering out the details.

The all-time record for PPV buys is 2.48 million for the Mayweather-Oscar de la Hoya fight in 2007.

Mayweather's biggest fight in recent years — against Canelo Alvarez in 2013 — generated 2.2 million buys and a record $150 million in revenue.

The Pacquiao fight — scheduled for May 2 in Las Vegas — is expected to exceed both of those records, and make Mayweather as much as $180 million.

I'm splitting it with 4 other people. I forsee a bunch of other friends attending, probably charge them $10 a head.

I'm streaming because there is no chance on God's green earth in paying 100 bucks to watch what is sure to be a disappointing fight

Yeah freak that noise.

Don't businesses/bars have to pay a lot more than the $100?

They pay per seat in the establishment if I remember correctly

[Tommy]

I'll probably host the fight. Good excuse for a house party.

[ukilledkenny]

If that 100 bucks covered the time travel back to 2010 when this would have been good I'd think about it.
