Could start anytime between 3 and 4:30 depending on the undercard fights. Most people reckon it will be a 4 start but might be earlier.

For someone who isn't a regular boxing watcher, am I correct in assuming these things:

1) Pacquiao has a stronger punch but Mayweather is better defensively and is faster?

Manny was faster in his prime. He's one of the most explosive fighters ever the grace the sport. His footwork and punching speed were extraordinary. This guy could literally pummel you from any angle.

Mayweather probably has the best defense ever seen in the sport. He has mastered the sweet science and his style has allowed him to age gracefully.

If Manny could roll back the years to where he was 09-11, even for a few rounds, it will be a very interesting match.

2) Mayweather always chooses wisely when to fight. He avoided the match 5 years ago when Pacquiao was at his best.
3) The referee is with Mayweather.

There are some conspiracies doing the rounds -- the ref is on Mayweather's side apparently due to his conduct during the Maidana fight. Although, personally, I think it's a load of nonsense spread by people who probably didn't watch the fight.

Also, would appreciate getting in on any streaming convo going -- my usual (paid) sports site has been taken down by the looks of things.

This is the ref:



I also read on some of the comments from experts that 'Mayweather fights only when he knows he'll win (for that he didn't fight 5 years ago) and he has the perfect referee today.
 
I'm not a boxing nut, but tempted to watch this, not sure i can stay awake until 4am tho.

That video has clearly been edited. Ref just shouts stop because the bell rang.
 
My mate's picking me up in a couple of hours. There's not a chance I'm going to fall asleep or be tired for Mayweather v Pacquiao, the hype will keep me awake and sharp. I've been waiting six fecking years for it after all!
 
I'm so tempted to go to bed now and get up at 4AM to watch this fight. The more I read about it the more I'm considering it.

Problem is I'm working at noon
 
I'm thinking a pac-man win the more I think about this fight.
