So who does everyone have? I am going to go out on a limb and actually pick pacquiao by late stoppage in the 11th or 12th

I think it will be an entertaining fight and I think it will be pretty close.

I pick Floyd to win.

Floyd is bigger, stronger has a reach advantage and is more technically sound.

Just going with the boring safe pick: Floyd by decision. I hope to be wrong though.

Lomachenko is amazing to watch. I think he'll be a future top 10 p4p fighter.

Lomachenko is exciting and super talented.

As backdoor to Zuffa mentioned. He will be a future top 10 p4p fighter.

He has a very bright future.

Wow, that's a lot of money for one fight.

Somewhere Sara McMann is crying herself to sleep knowing she made a couple thousand dollars to be in the main event of a ppv UFC show.

Manny Pacquiao will reportedly pocket $2.25M from the ads on his shorts

Manny Pacquiao will earn an extra $2.25 million by selling ads on his trunks for Floyd Mayweather fight: report


The trunks Manny Pacquiao wears when he steps into the ring against Floyd Mayweather will feature ads, but unlike his fight against Chris Algieri, the logos for the Mayweather fight will add up to more than just pocket change.

Floyd Mayweather may have the nickname Money, but Manny Pacquiao is also squeezing every penny out of their May 2 bout.

The Filipino fighter will reportedly bank an extra $2.25 million — that’s on top of his 40 percent cut of the expected $400 million gross from the record-setting fight — for selling ad space on his trunks, and top Philippine companies are fighting for real estate on the satin shorts.

“The rate for this fight is different from the previous (fights),” Eric Pineda, Pacquiao’s business manager, told World Boxing News. “So far we have six (companies) that will have their logos on Manny’s trunks.”

In his last fight, against Long Island’s Chris Algieri, Pacquiao had ads for Cafe Puro, AirAsia.com and cargo company LBC, among others, on his Nike trunks.

There where very few tickets which were actually on sale to the public.

Countdown show is on HBO. DVR scheduled. Can't believe this is only one week away.

Tomorrow.

I can't believe this is real. This is ridiculous. Mayweather's mouthguard is worth more than the average UFC fighter ten times over. "Bigger than boxing."

Our eyes are going to witness the most expensive punches that they will ever see.

This fight is no Aldo/McGregor, but it's up there.
