I have an interest but certainly not well versed in boxing and never followed either boxers career
so what little research I've done it seems like Manny is in way over his head against Floyd but that may be just an act
Manny is such a class act though
where Floyd comes off as a <insert disparity>
as far as any fight of the century is concerned us old Ali era guys moan
mostly™

@mr.mohs it's a new century, and we're only 15 years into it. The only way they could ever pull off calling it fight of the century. Seems the bar is set soooo much lower for todays "superstars".

Rick loves boxing and I will watch it with him. I record matches for him if he's working when they show.
We were both rooting for Manny, but figured that Mayweather would win, but we didn't pay to watch it. Too expensive.
Love to hear Manny sing, too, lol, and his new pistachio commercial.
I watched the Kentucky Derby (Run for the Roses) races yesterday, and Kentucky Oaks (Lilies for the Fillies) on Friday.

Had no interest in watching but I sure was hoping Manny would win with a sucker punch KO just like Mayweather seems to like to do with women.

Rockoonz is absolutely right about Mayweather and the way he treats women. He served two months in jail once for beating a woman, but was let out for good behavior.

Seems that Manny tried to take the money and run. He had hurt his shoulder and was probably afraid that Floyd might back out if he had it attended to and postponed the bout.
To me this was hardly the fight of the century ; just a fight of two guys past their prime. Not like Ali/Frazier or Patterson/Johanson or patterson/liston or Sugar Ray/ LaMotta or SugarRay/Hearns or SugarRay/Duran to name a few
This fight would have made a lot more sense 5 or so years ago.
I believe it never got off the ground because Mayweather wanted more than half and Manny would not agree to that.
