Where in Japan can we see it? Will it be on regular TV?

I remember way back when begging to be allowed to stay up to watch a Cassius Clay fight - can't remember which one. But I was a kid then and didn't know no better. It has been a long, long time since I saw any entertainment value at all in watching two grown men beating the living daylights out of each other.

I'd like to see Manny win but I think Floyd will.

If the fight was happened five years ago and then the fight will be fight of the life times. Its five years late. Manny had agreed for blood test after initial refused to blood test until before test. Manny believed blood can be taken out before the fight. He didn't understand well about how USADA was testing and his English was not good at that time. However, Manny agreed for drug test after he fully understood about random blood test. Manny has been drug testing by Nevada authority every time he fights in Las Vegas and never failed drug test.

Manny is better boxer who has fought with bigger guys and fought with best and tough boxers. On the other hand, Floyd Mayweather jr only fought whom he can win. Obviously Floyd Mayweather Jr had lost to Jose Luis Costello in their first fight but corrupted Nevada judges given Floyd to win. I worry about this fight the Judges can screw up and given favor to how town boy Floyd if the fight goes 12 rounds.

I’m sure Manny will fight like man and I’m not sure whether Floyd will exchange with Manny. The fight will be big but I’m not sure it’s best fight because they were passed their peak.

Ahh Vegas- where the fun is!

Unless Manny drops like the way Marquez dumped him, the Mayweather-Pacquiao won't live up to any hype. Or vise-versa.
