^ more likely to be mayweather's next bout tbf

I know he could take her in five.

idk isnt mayweather too big/strong for pacquaio? if they're fairly well matched technically then that's likely to swing it (assuming floyd hasn't gone to seed lately)

i would definitely favor floyd, but pac would still give him the fight of his life

don't think Floyd is any bigger or stronger than Hatton was, tho he's a better fighter obv

Villanueva/Ruiz on Showtime now is a good fight

In the spirit of Floyd Mayweather refusing a 50/50 purse split and then accusing Pacquiao of ducking him, I hereby challenge Vitali Klitschko for the heavyweight title under the condition that I receive 99.9% of the purse. Quit ducking me, Vitali.

fucking chaos in Argentina last night

Filipino lad kind of asked foe that but jesus

damn i didnt realize ortiz v berto got cancelled/rescheduled :,(

Klitschko sleepwalks thru another one-sided snorefest. At least Chisora threw a lot of punches, shame he couldn't land any.

better than the actual fight

"at least he showed heart, all you showed was your toe" otm

whats this wwe shit

Chisora has been arrested.

Pair of idiots tbh, trying to out thug each other while the Klitschkos sit quietly smiling and wondering who they boringly beat up for money next.

Haye even runs away from press conference fights

lol

“He offered me $40 million, and no pay-per-view (money),” Pacquiao said, breaking into a laugh. “No pay-per-view. Can you believe that? Would you do that? Come on. What would he say if I offered him $50 million – not $40 million, $50 million – and said ‘No pay-per-view. Take this money and be happy, but no pay-per-view.’ He wouldn’t do it, either.”

decent card on showtime at the moment

holy hell round 9 of Lopez-Salido was on for the ages

JCC Sr. in the ring congratulating Salido after an incredible 10th-round KO. This was a total offensive war from about the 3rd round on; Lopez is one of those super-game fighters you don't see enough of, and Salido fights with a great get-and-give style. What a fight!

lol Lopez now claiming the ref is a gambler who wanted him out in the 10th. literally saying that the ref had money on the fight & is a gambling addict. Lopez hit the canvas HARD after four unanswered blows to the head and was staggering, unable to answer the ref's questions, when he got up. he's game as fuck but he's insane if he thinks that was a bad stoppage.

horrible decision evidently last night, I didn't see it, but RIP Bert Sugar. His schtick was a little grating sometimes but he really did have vast knowledge of the sport and was a link to the days of smoke-filled clubs and boxers whose names were more widely know.

this b-hop/chad dawson fight is only on reg hbo cuz no 1 on earth wld ppv it rite

mayweather v. cotto pretty soon here, it's morning where I'm at & my connection's for shit, don't know if I'll be able to stream. Feel like there ought to be a bar in Sydney showing it somewhere but I haven't turned up anything conclusive

my gf just randomly decided she wanted to watch this but the only place around here showing it is a fucking movie theater

Want to say Mayweather on points, but I'm really not sure that's going to be even vaguely right.

the hooters like 5 min away from me is showing this

By which I mean Cotto in 5 is a possibility. xpost to me

dude watching a match in a movie theater is a grand tradition! pre-TV, the way people kept up was by watching fight films a week or more after the fight in their locals - I have an old fight film poster for when Joe Louis toppled Primo Carnera. put on a fedora and and do it old-school!

i was excited abt cotto as a fighter in like 2007. i dont really think he has a chance vs floyd

same on both counts

yeah idk the theater could be fun if we were both more committed to the idea but it's kind of far away and i don't know if they sell beer

If I was betting I'd go Mayweather on points, but I'm not.

This will be about 4-5am UK time won't it? No chance of me making it :(

mayweather will win easily

itll be on rapidshare in the morning

or afternoon if u need to get a fedora first

I found a bar showing it, probably gonna get in a cab. watching the streaming undercard right now, holy fuck Figueroa's left hook is hilarious.

the may weather is terrible in england fwiw

i was watching the hatton fight again the other day

hes gonna retire undefeated

I think Cotto has a better shot than any of Floyd's "recent" competition but Cotto's recent bouts haven't really pitted him against anybody to test him - Margarito's washed up, Mayorga had already lost to almost every major fighter he's faced, Pacquiao beat him. I really want Cotto to pull it off but he would have to bring in some new style that Floyd hadn't trained against.

fight doesnt appear to be on tv here and i cba staying up to watch a shitty stream just to see mayweather win.

canelo's got a nasty cut

shane really showed up tonight. first time seeing canelo, not overwhelmed, a money fight with pac or floyd or whoever definitely not a good move for him yet

lmao bieber is carrying floyd's belts

bieber shd fight cottos son
