In the early days of the UFC (the Days Before Dana), there was a lot of surprise over how lopsided the strikers vs grapplers matches were and a lot of the striker styles cried foul play. In the end, everyone had to incorporate different styles to compete and that made everyone better and more versatile. Who would want to go backwards from that?
      Dana would make more than enough with Mayweather's name on the fight card that was the money maker, Dana is the type of guy who does not bullshit and like I said he told him basically to put up or shut up he was REALLY pissed that Mayweather not only thrashed the UFC but the sport of MMA all together it was more personal for him. @Wheretheheckistottenham?

      As for the fight its bloody close to call, Manny is a super aggressive fighter and Mayweather is the best defensive boxer of the era, Im not even going to pick a winner it comes down to whether mayweather is at his peak only having 1 fight under his belt since returning. I dont think pacquiao will be able to hurt mayweather, if pacquiao can last the 12 rounds without getting hurt then he could win on points because of his aggressiveness dont expect to see it stopped early
      Manny probably only needs 1 punch and it's light out for 'Pretty Boy'. Fukc, even Ricky Fatton manged to wake Floyd up with some punches - before he was decked of course.

      It's on the news now but I heard this from my buddy who's an event planner at MGM. Apparently Mayweather's camp have been scouting locations for that date, it could be him just trying to bluff Pacquaio though.

      Probably I have pretty much given up on boxing outside of the Olympics.

      I hope it happens too but I can't see Manny getting over his fear and actually accepting a (completely fair) drug test.

      Even if he does take it Mayweather will still want a ridiculous amount of money.

      Ok do you guys think the Pac vs Marquez fight was just a wind up for the Mayweather and Pac fight?

      Maybe but personally I think Manny and Marquez will go at it one more time as there is no clear cut winner after 3 fights.

      Well the clear winner was Marquez really.

      How the PAC man won that I'll never know.

      Probably a way for him to keep his record I think.

      CompuBox numbers tells otherwise.

      Aside from the middle rounds that Marquez clearly won, all the other rounds were won by Manny. That's how I saw it and that's how the judges saw it as well.

      I think there is a lot of backlash because everyone expected Manny to dominate the fight but Marquez made it a fight too close to call.

      I scored 7 rounds to Marquez and 5 to Manny. I thought Marquez was landing much cleaner punches in more of the rounds and avoiding Manny's punches alot more comfortably than manny was avoiding Marquez punches. This seemed to be happening for the majority of the fight to. I love Manny and wanted him to win but I thought Marquez had a better fight using the jab to much more effect and moving around the ring much better to. I won money off of Pacman winning but don't think it was a fair conclusion. It's a bit suspicious that for there to be any chance of a Manny v Mayweather fight(expected to be the biggest box office money spinner) then Manny had to win this it was a draw at best for manny but the judges scored differently.
