I think a lot of sporting events are over-hyped. I mean how many times have we seen the same thing with Mayweather? Anyways its how they make their money. More advertising and making people think that it's huge making people wanna buy tickets and etc.

Ive never heard of these people..

I just learned that Floyd Mayweather is getting a cut out of all merchandise Manny Pacquiao sells.

I learned this by getting a Copyright notice from Mayweather's lawyers about a shirt I was selling on eBay that had nothing to do with Mayweather.

From what I've learned throughout the years by watching boxing, the best fights are usually between young boxers or boxers in their prime. They tend to be more aggressive, thus making the fight more interesting. This being said, I don't think the hype is completely related to the fight itself, it has to do with watching two of the best boxers in the history of the sport face each other in the ring. I'm sure it'll be a very interesting fight to watch, but we can't ignore the fact that neither of them is in their prime anymore; they're getting old and aren't as powerful / fast as before. Nonetheless, it should be a good fight.

Personally, I'm rooting for Pacquiao but I think mayweather wins by K.O.
