It's set for March 13th and they'll fight at 147 lbs....advantage the PACMAN in a TKO No site has been decided for the fight...Las Vegas or Texas stadium? I can't see this fight outside of Vegas.
My dilemma a few days after a significant birthday and around the time of opening day for Spring Training of the Red Sox...what or which one should I attend?

Pacman is not knocking out Mayweather
However, however so many people want to see this fight the MGM Grand or most other venues in Vegas aren't big enough. I saw the Pacman fight Diaz by accident last year and the Mandalay Bay Hotel was surprisingly sold out. He has a huge huge following from the Philippines. I really didn't know much about him then but I do now and he packs them in for sure.
BTW that was super exciting fight too.

Why? there's too much money to be made by all parties

Looks like its pretty much a done deal. Suprised it didn't take much time to come to an agreement but it sounds like both parties agree on the money which is the most important part.
Yes, but injuries are part of the game. Which can happen at any time you make it sound as if there's a conspiracy in the making.

Nah man, not this fight, if I had to guess each of them is going to make $20 million easy. Neither of them is going to turn that down.
Mayweathers last fight got postponed becasue of injury and they still fought and that wasn't nearly a pay day like this is going to be.
This fight is in the league of Hagler/Leonard and yes Mayweather has bad hands. However with this much at stake around the world they WILL get in the ring to cash this potential huge payday.

have you been following boxing in the last 20 years?
Yes this fight is a must and the whole Vegas atmosphere is out of this world. The other cool thing is after 4-6 hours of boxing with the undercards it ends around 9pm Vegas time and then you can go out and PARTY!
BTW that's the second best logo in hockey behind of course the BRUINS, the original 6!

Yeah, I doubt I'll make it to Vegas, but I definitely need to get out there for a big fight weekend at some point.
I'd prob rank the Hawks logo first
I have followed it for years and I know all the shenanigans that goes on. However, in this case there shouldn't be any nonsense with so much on the line. With delays the fight loses interest and bigtime money to put all back together again.

Damn, I missed this news.
Great stuff!! It'll be a fucking classic fight. I hope Pacman does a job on him.
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening
and I'll overdo it'
9/29/04 Boston, 6/28/08 Mansfield, 8/23/09 Chicago, 5/15/10 Hartford
5/17/10 Boston, 10/15/13 Worcester, 10/16/13 Worcester, 10/25/13 Hartford
8/5/16 Fenway, 8/7/16 Fenway
EV Solo: 6/16/11 Boston, 6/18/11 Hartford,
That's probably true, that is usually what is said at this point. Also just could be a ploy for more money but I can gaurantee that neither fighter is walking away from this fight.

$10 mil for every pound. Wow!
That sux
I haven't payed attention to boxing in years this fight actually intrigued me
Hopefully it gets resolved
The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill
A protuberance of flesh above the waistband of a tight pair of trousers
Yeah blows big time.
That is why this is such a big payday for both, people will buy this fight that have not watched a fight in 10 years.
I think it will get resolved, when it comes down to it, I don't think either of them is going to pass up a $20-$30 mil payday or more.

Floyd Mayweather's fight with Manny Pacquiao 'is off'
Floyd Mayweather Jr's planned bout with Manny Pacquiao is off because of a blood-testing dispute, according to Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum.
"As far as I'm concerned, the fight is off," said Arum, referring to the scheduled 13 March welterweight bout.
The American's camp were told by Pacquiao's people that the Filipino would not agree to blood-testing in the 30 days prior to the fight.
The welterweight super-fight was expected to be the richest of all time.
Arum accused Mayweather's camp of raising the issue not because they were worried about Pacquiao taking performance-enhancing substances, but because Mayweather never wanted to fight in the first place.
Arum said Pacquiao would agree to testing by the same agencies that test pro American Football and baseball players, but not for random tests by the US Anti-Doping Agency.
Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach added: "The sanctioning bodies and the state commissions run the boxing world, not Floyd Mayweather.
"Who is this guy to tell us that we have to have blood tests, or urine tests, or any tests? He's just looking for a way out of the fight."
Mayweather associate Richard Schaefer said: "He, Pacquiao, would only agree to have blood drawn before the kick-off press conference and after the fight.
"It is unfortunate to hear this from Manny Pacquiao's representatives, particularly since both parties had worked out all other issues related to this fight."
Unbeaten Mayweather's management want both men - regarded as the two best pound-for-pound fighters in the world - to submit to blood-testing prior to the bout, to ensure both men are clean.
Schaefer, who is chief executive of Golden Boy Promotions, added: "Todd [DuBoef, president of Pacquiao's promoters Top Rank] told me that Pacquiao has difficulty with taking blood and doesn't want to do it so close to the fight."
Prior to Arum's announcement, the 32-year-old Mayweather had urged Pacquiao to agree to the blood-testing.
"I understand Pacquiao not liking having his blood taken, because frankly I don't know anyone who really does," said Mayweather.
"But in a fight of this magnitude, I think it is our responsibility to subject ourselves to sportsmanship at the highest level."
But Roach countered: "We have passed every test ever given to us. We go by the commission rules, since when does the fighter make up the rules?
"When Manny gives blood it takes him three or four days to recover from it. I am not going to have my fighter going into a fight feeling weak and not sure of himself.
"Mayweather is scared, and he's just afraid that he's going to get his ass kicked."
The fight had been expected to be held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
The Staples Center in Los Angeles, home of the NBA's Lakers was also touted as a possible venue and representatives of Cowboys Stadium in Dallas were also said to be interested in hosting arguably the biggest fight since the turn of the century.
Pacquiao, 31, became a five-weight world champion following his WBO welterweight title win over Miguel Cotto in November, while Las Vegas-based Mayweather returned from a 21-month retirement to beat Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez in September.
Arum added that Pacquiao still plans to fight on 13 March and will now look for another opponent.
Don't fighters always get tested a day or two after their fights anyway?
And if found any illegal use of PED's, the officials will DQ the fight or list the fight as a "no contest."
That's how it's always been done in boxing and even in UFC(I think).

Lots of time left. It's going to happen, way too big of a payday like I said many times.
