That was one ****** presser

Neither guy looks like he wanted to be there

according to manny, there has been coaching for them to suppress and inhibit their behavior for this promo

how can the biggest fight have such a ****** promotion

Does this fight really need that much promotion? It's the 2 biggest names in boxing fighting each other. How much more promoting do they need then that?

Have to agree.

Tickets will have face value of 1500-7500. If I can get one of the cheapies, I'm in. Both friends who were going have bailed.

fight has been anticipated by fans for well over 5 years. You'd think the fighters would show more enthusiasm

I actually think that their focus for this fight is higher than ever. No time for the BS and name calling/tussling at standard press conferences. This is the biggest fight in years. I don't need to see any of that BS at press conferences. Matter of fact, I rarely watch press conferences. Didn't even look at a replay of the first one for this fight.

To add, neither fighter has to get me amped for this fight. I don't have to watch anything leading up to the actual fight.... but when the last undercard is finished, I know that I will be seeing something historical.

Not looking forward to this fight, both guys are past their prime. It should have happened 6-7 years ago. I can't help but feel both guys juice and have juiced for most of their careers. Give me two, thirsty, random, unrefined amateurs in a smoke filled, dingy bar any day, and I'll watch. with interest.

There will be no knock out. There will be a part two.

Mayweather talks himself up, says that he's better than Muhammad Ali:

“No one can ever brainwash me to make me believe that Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali was better than me. No one could ever brainwash me and tell me that.”

I saw that and was having a discussion with a few friends yesterday regarding what he said.
Honestly.....it's no big deal IMO. Why wouldn't he say that he is the best fighter ever? Remember, Cassius Clay was saying that right after he beat Sonny Liston the first time. So it ain't bragging if you back it up.
