If the public pay £65 quid then we're fecked. Every half decent ppv will increase dramatically in price.
I was just thinking that.,If the public pay £65 quid then we're fecked. Every half decent ppv will increase dramatically in price.
Ray Robinson lost one of his first 123 fights. He lost that one fight against Jake La Motta. He subsequently avenged that defeat four times. Of course he didn't need to fight La Motta after beating him again but he did because La Motta was one of the best around. Floyd does his best not to fight the best around when they are hot, which is why he won't ever compare to fighters like Ray Robinson.So Floyd calls himself TBE?
I've never seen Sugar Ray Leonard or Robinson fight, but this article is pretty spot on, IMO.

If you've never seen SRL then I highly recommend this documentary:So Floyd calls himself TBE?

We really need the streamers to up their game for this. Sales have to be low at that price, it would be a horrible precedent to set if PPV channels clean up. It won't even be at a time of night you can comfortably watch it in a shitty pub...Apparently it's going to be £66 in the UK
Agreed. That really could have gone either way and Floyd was lucky he got the decision.Seriously, on what planet was DLH anywhere near to beating him? Floyd was never troubled, bunched punches being blocked are just that....bunched punches being blocked. He made proper boxing look so easy, but people love punches....even if they are irrelevant for like 90% of them.
The closest he's come to losing was Castillo. Possibly should have, but have only seen it the once.
This! I think we need a special Haxball night for this, Hectic. The only thing that irks me is that i no longer believe that these two are the pound for pound best two fighters in the world anymore, I think that Andre ward deserves a mention in that category.I know everyone wanted this to happen 5 years ago....but...forget all that shit, it is finally happening and not as late as it could have been.
Really can't wait for this.
Don't worry about that, There will be plenty of decent streams around and There are a few of us that can provide links for the correct reporting to authorities.We really need the streamers to up their game for this.

Probably around 4.30am, and yes it's on the 3rd technically.When will this be on in the UK? If the fight is held in the US, will that mean it's actually aired in the early hours of the 3rd?
Spot on. This is why Pacman is more respected in the circuit, as he boxes competitors.Ray Robinson lost one of his first 123 fights. He lost that one fight against Jake La Motta. He subsequently avenged that defeat four times. Of course he didn't need to fight La Motta after beating him again but he did because La Motta was one of the best around. Floyd does his best not to fight the best around when they are hot, which is why he won't ever compare to fighters like Ray Robinson.
PPV boxing in America often costs around $70 for big events. It is prime time TV over there, whereas in the UK it is on at probably the most anti-social time possible. I can't see this one costing over £25.
He hasn't boxed anyone with a pulse since 2012.This! I think we need a special Haxball night for this, Hectic.

It's lower than most people expected. Froch vs Groves last year was the same price on Sky Box Office, and even 10-15 years ago fights used to PPV at around £15 quid, so it seems Sky have made a conscious decision to keep the price reasonable.Sky Box Office can tongue my butt hair after a days gardening. 20 quid to watch two geriatrics no where near there best bore me to death? Not a chance.
I think Manny's a lot more likely to get a decision than a knockout. He's a volume puncher and an excellent round stealer.In terms of probability, I rate the outcomes like...
Floyd UD/MD
Dodgy Draw/SD to build a rematch up
Manny KO
Manny UD/MD
Floyd KO
I'd really love to see Manny beat Mayweather, but regardless of all this TBE hype, he's still the best boxer on the planet right now... Well, after GGG (inaccurate opinion based on my love for Golovkin)
Why is that ?But he's still got a big punch (see Hatton - Poor guy ), and Floyd's defence is just amazing. It's close between the two outcomes, but I can't see Manny getting a just decision.
Why is that ?
Was reading up about mayweather. So he's never lost a fight but his lack of competition means people don't consider him among the best. Also didn't know that a few boxers are considered greater than Ali.
You'll miss my wonderful insight.You should stay out of the boxing thread, Amol.
Two reasons.Why is that ?

I'm either going to watch it in a sports bar or at a friend's house. There's no way I'm going to risk the streams going down for this fight.Hi all
I want to watch this fight in HD with no buffering so I'm prepared to pay for it. Can't be arsed fannying around with a stream for something like this.
Here's the thing though. I am not subscribed to Sky so I'm guessing I can't buy it on their box office?
Has anyone got any suggestions as to how I can watch it in all it's (hopeful) glory?
I think that you can suscribe to Bein for cheap and for a short period of time, but I'm not sure.Hi all

If you're going to watch it at home, NTV.mx is a gem of a service. Tried it a few times and quality is excellent, as is the support. I think they are located in mexico where copyright laws are much more lax. I'm planning on buying the service for a month this Saturday, which should be in time for the Villa game, as well as the next four matches as long as they are televised, inc City and Chelsea. Also looking forward to watching the new Game of Thrones season live as it airs.I want to watch this fight in HD with no buffering so I'm prepared to pay for it.
