Baltimore Riots, 7.8 earthquakes in Nepal? Let's talk Manny vs Floyd
- Thread starter RebelScrub
- Start date
This and there will be some type of "controversy" so that they'll just have to fight again...
Here is my tinfoil hat theory:
Pac wins first fight to set the table.
Floyd wins the rematch to open the new arena.
Third fight is a toss up best man wins.
Floyd and Pac split a Billion+ purse over 3 fights and ride off into the sunset yelling "SUCKERS"...

I heard the odds of a draw got bet down from 23 to 1 down to 12 to 1.
I think Pacquiao's only chance is to turn back the clock and go all out attack for at least 9 of the 12 rounds. I don't think he can do that anymore so I pick Floyd by unanimous decision. It will be exciting for the first 4 or 5 rounds, but Floyd will figure Manny out and start to pick him apart by the 5th round and roll to victory.

Last I heard the draw was at 8/1.
The popular opinion is Floyd dodged this fight but the facts just don't support that opinion.
Manny refused the first time because he didn't want the blood testing.
Conspiracy theories all over the place, but both guys were to blame why the fight hasn't happened until now.

In 2010..it was 100 mil 50/50..
All they did was clean out everybody and cash out in 2015 at a possible 300 mil payout for both fighters
Floyd wanted the BS testing which is gonna cost consumers down the line cause the NSAC wants to charge 6 percent of a ticket for the cost of a test.
He got sued, settled. PAC finally let all the roids and PEDS get out of his system..
So if this fight happened in 2010 with PAC roiding, probably be the same decision
Typing as the replay showing Floyd screaming "he bit me he bit me".
Here's what's gonna happen. PAC is gonna throw all these combos and Floyd's gonna cover up. The crowd will go wild. Replay shows all the punches landing on Floyd's gloves. Pac's gonna tire. Floyd is gonna walk him down and stalk him.
PAC probably panics and goes out on his shield.
Kenny Payless is gonna separate them too much.
In reality it's gonna be like a 118-111..
One of the judges have it a draw while the other judges have it within 3 points..
Rematch. cash out. Floyd tells PAC that he doesn't need Jesus. he has money..

I think the testing is a good idea and will probably become the standard eventually. If they try and pass the cost to the consumer then shame on them. That should be reported in the press and the fights boycotted.
The more ped drug testing in any sport the happier I will be. In the fighting sports it becomes inportant on another level besides just being faster, stronger, etc. Now you can shake off blows quicker and easier.
Freddy Roach said the reason Pac refused the test is because he honestly believed taking blood the day before the fight would weaken him and he would lose. Since Pac is a strange I do believe that could be the case, but Floyd would be going through the same thing so I am skeptical that is the only reason.
I firmly believe that Floyd is so hated people look for excuses to blame everything on him. Imagine if the roles were reversed in that situation and Pac requested the testing and Floyd refused? That would be the only thing people would be talking about.
I understand the Floyd hating. I have had enough experiences with the dude to know he is a douche, but I ignore that fact and judge his fighting on his fighting and he is the best I have ever seen.
Not only has he beaten every person put in front of him, he has beaten them soundly, and despite the fact that people say he runs from fights, I have seen him beat fighter after fighter that fans swear will be the guy to finally beat him, and beat them easily.

Ladies and Gentlemen, We have a Winner!!!...
And just as a follow-up, I can't believe the people who were complaining about how boring it was. Thet got exactly what they should have been expecting.
Floyd is a defensive specialist who hasn't knocked anyone out in years. This outcome couldn't have been any more predictable. I can't recall another time that I laid 2-1 on a sporting event. And by the way, I had American Pharoah in the Derby as well. Great day!

Mayweather sucks, not even in my Top 15. Great defensive fighter my sass. He will retire undefeated, but undefeated against chumps.
Pretty much what I expected and still better than 2 dudes wrestling on the ground any day IMO! The 2 under card fights were way better than the main event.
Like tarkisgod said, this should be exactly what everyone expected. Just because it was promoted as a superfight doesn't mean Mayweather is going to change his style. He knows in a slugfest he probably loses and fighting this way he will win.
I don't know why people expect a guy in his late 30's with 48 professional fights would want to get hit in the face at all. If I am in his shoes I do the exact same thing.
