Not at the box officeEarliest pick up will be Friday.
In the meantime, we do have a pretty good fight on tonight...
I don't think it's shameful. As a boxing purist, it's good to see a guy like Floyd win this fight. Similar to the "defense wins championships" in NFL. If you can separate the "outside the ring" Mayweather from the fighter, it's easy to want him to win.Yeah, I still can't believe it, and I can't believe how fast it's come up - one week away already. It's crazy. And the closer the fight gets the more I realize how much I want Floyd to win, as shameful as that is.
Not to mention, if it's close, we get a rematch.
Jennings +1150 for me.
I picked him a long time ago to be the guy to knock off Wladimir. Can't go back on it now. I still think it's too soon, though.
Don't see it happening, but I like the odds you got. Looks like it's at +800 now at most books here.Jennings +1150 for me.

I don't think it's likely either. But it's really the only way to bet it. If Jennings can get inside and touch him...stranger things have happened.Don't see it happening, but I like the odds you got. Looks like it's at +800 now at most books here.
I like Jennings and I hope he wins but he is going to get fucking splattered.
Shhhhhhhhhh.
Floyd Mayweather Jr told to retire after fight with Manny Pacquiao
http://www.espn.co.uk/boxing/story/_...manny-pacquiao
So Floyd Mayweather Sr (the crackhead) really thinks his son will retire after his fight with Pacquiao? even if he wins?Floyd Mayweather Sr hopes his son decides to hang up his gloves after his May 2 superfight against Manny Pacquiao.
Long-time rivals Mayweather Jr and Pacquiao will finally touch gloves at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas in what is widely expected to be the richest fight in boxing history.
While Mayweather Sr believes his son will have no problem extending his unbeaten streak against the Filipino, he called for it to be his last fight - a statement which may not go down well with Britain's Amir Khan.
"I hope that Floyd gets out the game at the right time," Mayweather Sr told the Sunday Telegraph.
"This is a gambler's game and I don't think Floyd should be gambling too much. Once you reach that pedigree and make that kind of money, you don't have to fight no more.
"I hope he walks away after this fight. Whenever you get in that ring, anything can happen. It looks easy but it ain't as easy as it looks. He makes it look easy."
Mayweather Jr is looking to make it 48 victories from 48 professional fights and will face a tough challenge in Pacquiao.
However, the American's father deems eight-division champion Pacquiao to be just another opponent.
He added: "This era is closed. It's done. Pacquiao is done. He needs to be locked up in jail because it's time to save his ass. Pacquiao needs to lock himself up.
"He is not on Floyd's level. All he is, is an opponent. That's all he is. Nothing more, nothing less."
I doubt it, Mayweather Jr is just too greedy and selfish to retire. He needs to make money before he's as broke as Evander Holyfield or Mike Tyson.
He will probably try for a re-match with Pacquiao or he'll fight Amir Khan or some other lackluster opponent.
I was impressed with him. He is not an exciting HW by any means, and lacks real HW power, but he still has a lot of room for improvement, has a very solid chin, and could be a formidable opponent for the next 5-7 years.Shhhhhhhhhh.
I doubt we see Klitschko in the states again after that performance. Euro judges will let him clinch all he wants, obv a different story here. He looked pretty weak once they started deducting points. Not sure if he can last without pushing his weight around like he's been able to do the last 11 years.
He has 1 more fight on his contract after this fight.Floyd Mayweather Jr told to retire after fight with Manny Pacquiao

It's really disappointing to see him fight that way. Clinching is a part of the sport, but he does it when it isn't necessary.I was impressed with him.

On Jennings, I like him a lot. Like you said, a lot of improving to do, but he's gonna be fine. He gave a good account of himself for the most part.
It's morphed into being completely part of his style now. I've always hated watching fighters who employ the clinch as a large tactic in what they do. He's that guy now.It's really disappointing to see him fight that way. Clinching is a part of the sport, but he does it when it isn't necessary.
I'm actually rooting for someone to beat him now before he passes Holmes. As long as he fights in Europe though I don't see that happening.
without knowing anything at all about Jennings except his birthplace, it was clear that Vlad had an easy fight ahead of him last night, simply because he was fighting an American in America. if the guy was an actual threat, the fight would have been in Germany, or similar.
The only guy with an outside shot is Wilder, imo. And not because he's skilled, but because he might catch him with one of those looping shots that knocks him out.It's morphed into being completely part of his style now.

Also, that picture up there is 100% not Cotto after the Mayweather fight.
Matter of fact, that isn't Marquez after Mayweather either.
And I'm pretty sure that's Maidana at the weigh-in.
Mother fucker. That's Hatton at the weigh-in, too. LOL.
They were reshowing a bunch of old fights on CBSSN. Most of Mayweathers fights were boring, but his fight versus Hatton (which I had never seen before) was actually pretty entertaining and Hatton held his own until the 8th round and was possibly ahead on the cards.
From what I can tell Manny doesn't fight inside like that, but based on this and the first Maidana fight seems Floyd's weakness (if he has any) is letting people get inside him and winning rounds by outworking him even if they aren't doing any real damage.
