[Mac Casper]

He avoids a lot of tax just for fighting in Vegas period. I want to know if he has stake in MGM properties

Doubt it. That's old Jew money. They have a stake in him

I thought the same as Jeff is on the outside of the Mayweather click and probably has taken one pic with Floyd in the last 5 years....But Zab shouldn't have gotten his ass whooped so no fukks given

whats the deal with jeff mayweather and floyd anyway?
never see him interact with floyd or any of the other mayweathers but he always talking anyway

Continuing on this post
We Floyd fans view the fight like this. If you were to create a fighter like in Fight Night to beat a virtual Mayweather, Manny possesses next to none of the qualities that you would pick to do the deed. That's where our confidence comes from. Jab? Not there with authority. Footwork, Manny has fast feet and many times, he doesn't really move with purpose. Floyd knows where he is at in a ring at all times Size? Floyd is bigger. Reach? Floyd has him there too. Timing? No one is better than Floyd at this. Boxing stance? Southpaw vs Orthodox, I'd pick an Orthodox boxer to make Floyd work to get his right hand going. A southpaw is automatically open to the right hand and if Chris Algeiri can get his right hand to Manny and Tim Bradley can pull a right hand from the fukking mat on multiple occasions, you better believe the person with the best right hand in the business will do it. Fighting in the pocket? Manny ain't bout that life. Manny is going to try to keep this fight at mid-range with some lateral movement because he is a rhythm fighter, dart in, dart out. He's going to catch some left hooks for his troubles though. That's my guess on gameplan. So, honestly, it's not that I like to discredit Manny by putting him down and all his accomplishments or whatever, but, there is always the saying, styles makes fight and for the life of me, I can't see this being competitive because of the aforementioned things. Strip away the names and everything I said, you would have to come to the same conclusion that if you knew what troubled a boxer, as we have 47 fights to see it, his future opponent doesn't do next to any of those things. So, if and when you continue to see Floyd fans as dismissive of this fight, most of us are because of what I just said. Now, the unexpected can always happen, but if both show up at their best, what I've written should be what takes place on May 2nd. A comfortable Floyd victory. I've said a few times that Manny is an ATG, this just isn't the fight for him though.

round bets don't even make sense because boxing judges really be on their bullshyt
floyd beat the shyt out of canelo for 12 rounds and u had one judge scoring it a draw and one having 8-4
there will be a clear pacquaio bias that night most likely, i think floyd knows it too which is why hes going for the knockout

yall should be sticking to whos gonna win or lose or KO'S

act like PAC hasnt been the victim of the biggest robbery in the past 20 years in boxing

bradley vs pacquaio was a closer fight then mayweather vs canelo and its not even debatable

granted, i thought pacquaio won the fight, but tim won a lot of the later rounds when pacquaio took his foot of the gas for whatever reason
he also got some early rounds
if bang bang lampley did his job, this would of been more clear

Bernard Hopkins: Mayweather beats Pacquiao by 'controversial' decision
By Jason Keidel | Boxing Writer

March 23, 2015 10:52 am ET


Bernard Hopkins, the sophist of the sweet science, who fought well past the maxims of logic and physics, spoke with CBSSports.com on a montage of topics, including the epic bout between Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao.

Perhaps no fighter can opine on the red-carpet opulence leading up to the fight like Hopkins, who lorded over the last two generations of boxers.

Hopkins is the last bona fide champion since boxing's big bang, leaving the sport with fragments of every belt, a constellation of consonants that have rendered a each division with some splintered version of the title.

Which makes Hopkins' old-world dominance poignant and pertinent. Having defended his middleweight crown 20 times, Hopkins has earned his place in the pantheon, next to Marvin Hagler and Carlos Monzon -- the only two middleweights ranked ahead of him, according to The Ring magazine.

Equally pensive in and out of the ring, B-Hop has defied dementia, poverty, and most of the post-pugilism maladies that ail so many fighters. And while Hopkins doesn't see the May 2 bout as a referendum on the sport, he's more than happy to hype and chat it up.

"First six rounds, possibly less, it's gonna be a tornado," Hopkins says when asked how he sees Mayweather-Pacquiao going down. "Because of Pacquiao's style, he will try to overwhelm Mayweather. If [Mayweather] gets through [that first rush], he will defeat him."

Hopkins, who spoke while driving from a photo shoot on Long Island back to his native Philadelphia, doesn't speak in the same platitudes you hear from folks who still make a dime off boxing. No former or current boxer has his amalgam of experience and expertise.

"Mayweather will have to make adjustments, make Pacquiao think before he reacts," Hopkins says. "If he can, it can be like taking candy from a baby. If he can do that, make adjustments as far as distance ... Pacquiao jumps in and out. He's not Maidana or Cotto."

Hopkins doesn't share the sentiment that a knockout loss like the one Pacquiao suffered against Juan Manuel Marquez will shadow him on May 2. "Erase that Marquez tape," Hopkins asserted. "Pacquiao just jumped in at the wrong time."

Losing on one punch versus a 12-round assault is a salient distinction, according to B-Hop. "You can recover from the one-shot knockout. It's not that that kills you," he says. "It's getting dominated that lasts. Because that pain from round one to twelve getting whipped sticks with you."

Hopkins seems to at least partially share Mike Tyson's take on the bout. During his animated analysis of the fight -- which went viral moments after he posted it to YouTube -- Tyson declared that Pacquiao has the kind of tornadic style that gives Mayweather issues. Volume is victory, if you'd prefer the Cliffs Notes.

"Floyd has to produce more than he has before," Hopkins said. "in terms of punching. He's not fighting [Ricky] Hatton. Pacquiao can bring it all night, so Floyd's jab and counterpunching will be key.

"I see Floyd making the adjustments," says the self-styled "Executioner," who's theatrical ring entrances and verbose persona made Hopkins one of the last and most authentic characters in the sport. "But by no means will this be a cakewalk. Floyd can just as well lose as win."

Hopkins inhales, a rare pause in a man who talks like he's paid by the word. "I say Floyd wins by controversial decision."

ATG BHop saying its no cakewalk

Where you at struggle team :sog:

Why does this persist. Manny literally fought half of every round in the first fight against Tim Bradley and spent the other half mentally calculating how much Koncz and Arum have been ripping him off. He was totally not engaged in that fight. He tried to do that ODLH shyt of stealing rounds in the end. When he wanted to fight, he was clearly better than Tim Bradley, you will not get this debate out of me, however.

3:00 of activity per round with average to good work>>>>>>1:30 of activity with good to great work. That is the fight to me.

Mayweather-Pacquiao: Chris Pearson Faces El Harrak
Posted by: Random Hits on 3/23/2015

Los Angeles, CA - Said “The Messenger” El Harrak will have a career changing opportunity when he faces unbeaten and highly regarded Chris Pearson Saturday, May 2 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV.


The ten round junior middleweight bout will take place on the undercard of the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao superfight.


Born in London, El Harrak relocated to California as a young teenager and had an impressive amateur career. He turned pro in 2008 and won his first eight fights, leading to a ShoBox bout against fellow unbeaten Lanard Lane. The 5’11 El Harrak, who scaled in at 157 pounds for a bout two months prior to meeting Lane, took extreme measures to make 144 pounds for the opportunity. Unfortunately, he was unable to rehydrate and suffered a second round stoppage.


After a three fight unbeaten streak, he lost a controversial split decision to contender Jesus Soto Karass on Azteca America . Following the debatable setback, El Harrak scored two straight third round stoppages and battled to a draw against 17-2 Luis Grajeda. His record currently stands at 12-2-2 with seven victories by knockout.


Pearson, 11-0 (9 KO’s), is regarded amongst the top young talents in America. The 24-year-old Ohio native is a member of the Mayweather Promotions stable and has been very impressive thus far. In December 2013, Pearson wowed the boxing world by demolishing previously unbeaten Acacio Joao Ferreira in the first round on ShoBox. In his most recent match, Pearson earned a clear-cut unanimous decision over respected prospect Steve Martinez.


“This is an honor and a privilege,” said El Harrak. “I always envisioned fighting on a big card like this. The Mayweather-Pacquiao fight is one that people will talk about until the end of time and the fact that I have the opportunity to fight on it is truly an honor. I’ve seen Pearson a few times and he’s a good fighter with a lot of natural talent. I know he’s Mayweather’s fighter and I have to take the fight to him in order to leave no doubt in the judges’ hands. This is a life changing opportunity that I’ve been training for since I first put on a pair of gloves.”


The El Harrak-Pearson match will be televised on various networks throughout the world. More information will follow.
