That was so uneventful 
Mayweather v Pacquiao (2 May 2015) | NO requesting streams/rivers etc in this thread
- Thread starter Raees
- Start date
I've never actually watched a boxing match before. How long do these things last and is it worth staying up for?
Depends and yes.
If you're going to stay up for one fight, stay up for this one.
Okay what are the chances of there being a knockout if you can speculate and how long would it last if it went all the rounds?
Probably quite low - 48 mins if it goes the distance.
Floyd looked tense. I wonder what the Vegas bookies are saying, they usually have their finger on the pulse this close to a fight.
For someone who hasn't been up to date, when will the fight start tonight?
Floyd defined looked different, kept looking at the crowd like he was affected by the boos. Not sure what to make of his totally different persona this time.
It's tomorrow night, probably between 03:30 and 04:30 Saturday night/Sunday morning.
It's not 12 rounds?
Ah okay, thanks.
Yea, 3 mins per round and 1 between.
Got a cricket game, get home about 9ish. Watch MOTD, sleep couple hours and wake up for the undercards.
Don't want to read too much into it but I remember SRL saying a fighter knows at that point if he is in the right place. One fighter looked in that place on that stage then.
I remember a shot in Calzaghe's dressing room before the Lacy fight and Joe was bopping away to music on his headphones and then he yawned! I knew that he was going to win that fight from that moment. You need to be relaxed and confident to box well.
Mayweather's been unusually respectful pre-fight. Still hope the fecker loses.
I've just realised this isn't tonight.
I love the joint production! You've got Michael Buffer and Jimmy Lennon JR. Shit is great.
This seems to be more about selling the pay per view than the actual fight itself. I am finding it a bit bizarre so far.
Tomorrow night is going to be intriguing!
He has become more respectful as he has got older. He seemed especially subdued there.
I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think there's much to read into when looking at Floyd's body language. He's been quite mellow for a while but probably not this mellow before.
You've never watched boxing before?
Well I saw it was May 2nd but I thought May 2nd here.
I've never watched a boxing match before. All I know is Mayweather is a defensive boxer and this fight is probably coming a few years too late for Pacquiao.
Yes I don't too much into it because it can be totally wrong. I remember Maidana - Ortiz and Maidana looked a haunted man on his ring walk, I thought that he was done before he got in the ring, of course he overwhelmed Ortiz and made him quit.
I remember the build up to the fight and how everyone was saying Lacy could destroy Calzaghe. The promo before the fight showing Lacy at home and comparing his street fighting, hard hitting style to Mike Tyson, then Calzaghe came out and absolutely destroyed him. Cracking fight.
I've got to be up at 7:30 to get the coach to Manchester, watch the match then straight back on the coach. I will probably get back about 1 or 2am Sunday Morning, i'm going to be knackered
This fight sells itself, so no need to build up drama for PPV sales.
I don't know much about boxing, but 1.62 on betfair for Mayweather seems like rather good value here.

I remember debating with Americans in the build up to that fight. They were so certain Lacy would land the left hand early, and when he did it would end the fight.
What a fecking idiot.
He usually is respectful to the guys he fights or at least since he has become a big box office draw. Only Ricky Hatton and Victor Ortiz was he really disrespectful two in recent years.
Yes, just assume that when you creep up from behind and place your hand on the chest of a man who is a former heavyweight champion, biter-of-human-flesh, convicted rapist and notoriously unhinged violent lunatic, he's going to smile and let you take his picture.
Not a huge boxing fan but I will probably watch this one. The event starts at 11 A.M here in Australia which is good, no staying up late. Not sure what time the actual fight will be on though.
Mayweather got boeed in his own backyard, Pacman getting all the love.
Mayweather on points at 5/6 is just unbelievable odds in my opinion. I'm lumping on it. I'm not even gonna use the €10 Paddy Power free in play bet to cover my losses, I'm gonna just add to my Mayweather on points bet.
