I watch all boxing. I subscribe to Boxnation and watch the lot.

I will NOT pay for this fight though. I already pay to subscribe to Sky Sports so why should I have to pay again? Not going to happen. I'm not going to be taken for a complete and utter fool.

The fight is being overhyped as well. These two are not P4P 1 and 2 anymore not with Golovkin, Kovalev and Ward around, both fighters are past their best.

Ward hasn't fought for 2 years so he is no where near top of p4p list at this moment. Fighting Paul Smith is pointless I know he needs a warm up fight but still.

Golovkin unsure of still never really fought a big name but they all seem to avoid him so night well say something.

That's because there aren't any in his weight division. Cotto would be a possiblity but he's a blown up middleweight and Golovkin would beat him easily.

Golovkin is not big for his weight so I don't see him moving up and I can't see the likes of Ward or Froch moving down to face him.

For me Kovalev is best of the lot at the moment.

Mayweather is still the number one in the division without a shadow of a doubt for me.

Surely going to points?

Put money on Pac throwing over 650 punches and a split decision so fingers crossed

I think both Keith Thurman and Amir Khan can beat the 2015 version of Mayweather.

what ever happens, it will be a controversial decision and therefore justify a re-match.
Too much money for it to be otherwise

Personally, I go Pacqiou on a split decision.

Not a chance.  Khan can trouble him with his speed but caught square on the chin just once and its game over for Khan.  I can see why he wants Mayweather though because Mayweather isn't a hard hitter and tends to win most of his fights on points.  Khan needs to be selective with his fights.  He wont fight Thurman or Kell Brook who would both clean him out inside 6 rounds.


Mayweather would beat all those mentioned above because he is too tricky.  I expect him to edge Pacquiao on points, maybe even a split decision.  Although I would like Pacquiao to win.

We'll have to agree to disagree then mate. Mayweather isn't the fighter he was a few years back, he's cherry picked his opposition for a while now. Khan is better than ever and Thurman is a class act who can become one of the pound for pound kings in  a year or two.

The Pacquiao fight should've happened four years ago when both were at their peaks. Both have declined but I think Pacquiao has declined more than Mayweather has and as Mayweather is the bigger man i don't see him having too much trouble on Saturday.

£20 on sky, but I think the actual fight (not the hype) starts at some ridiculous time

It'll start at somewhere between 3 and 4 AM I should think.

Boxnation have these shows on almost every week.

I cannot wait for this fight on Saturday.

Its going to be a great one. Tough to call a winner but id like Pacquiao to win

Whatever happens nothing can deflect the fact that Mayweather is a legend of the ring. Khan isnt even in the same league as these guys and never will be......his jaw isnt strong enough to be a top top fighter

Might be going to the 02 on 30th May for the Kell Brook fight....
Dexy : LiamTheBaggie : MarkW : OldburyWBA
Adder : Hull Baggie : lewisant : Political Cake : tommcneill

its not just the winning thats important...its rubbing the losers face in it after that counts

Kahn is up there with the best of them at 147, however he has yet to be tested against anyone with any power at that level which might eventually be his undoing, Thurman will take Floyds welterweight crown once he has hung up his gloves.

As for Saturday I’d love to see Manny win but I just can’t see past a Mayweather points victory.

Me too, absolutely love my BoxNation subscription, such as shame they didn't get this fight although I heard they pushed Sky pretty close, would have done wonders for the channel.  A pity as well considering they are the ones that have been showing all of Pacquiao's and Mayweather's fights for the last few years, while Sky have largely wiped their hands of international fights.

I know people are fed up already with polls, but would it be possible for one of the admin to set up a poll on this thread to see who people think might win this one please?

Keith Thurman will never be a p4p king personally.

High hopes for Kell Brook still always been a fan, just needs some decent fights rather than terrible opposition.

Got back into the swing of things a few weeks back with a comfortable win after his stabbing.

Anthony Joshua looks a good boxer, got high hopes for that kid.

Joshua needs to be stepped up soon, its difficult to say how good he will be while he is still fighting bums.  After the Johnson fight he needs to have a proper opponent.

I wouldn't argue with that, he seems to have all the attributes, but I agree, he needs to be allowed to test himself.
