    It's no secret that boxing is a shady business. Chances are obviously slim that something funny is going to happen but I've see it before.

    Pacman/Bradley............

    If money talks then millions upon millions screams from the hilltops.

    I think Mayweather wins by decision

    Regardless of the outcome, there will be a rematch. No need to end in a draw.

    However, thats not a bad bet.

    The thing that drives me nuts about boxing are the women judges that have no business scoring rounds. I also think the sport would benefit from live scoring. Fighters would know where they are at throughout the fight and if anything, they'd know to step their game up. Imagine if live scoring were available in the first Manny Bradley fight. Manny would have known to step on the gas in the later rounds and there's no way Bradley would have walked away the victor.

    A lot of opportunity in the sport of boxing, but it seems that it is a sport that is constantly falling victim to tradition.

    I really don't get the love for the draw in this fight. This fight doesn't have to be a draw to insure a rematch. Any competitive fight tonight will breed a rematch if the fighters want one.

    I think so, each claiming they won. I do think a rematch unless this is real lopsided. As MGM wants this in that new arena once open

    I guess but even a close fight with a decision will have both sides claiming they won and you save the anticlimactic draw ending. Nobody is happy with a draw minus the few bettors. At least a bad decision going to either fighter pleases half the people but a draw leaves everyone thinking wtf. Just my opinion and nothing would shock me because it is boxing after all but i just don't think a draw benefits boxing remotely close as much as people/the market is making it out.

    I see your point, just think it was worth shot at 22-1 when opened

    Now one of books here has it at 4-1

    Grabbed the draw 2 months ago at 18-1... I feel the fight will go the distance and in boxing you never know with these judges

    Dont need a draw for a rematch doesnt even have to be a rematch. Many big fights didnt have one where it was controversial.

    I think there will be as Floyd contracted with MGM to one more fight there. Obviously vs Manny would be biggest draw

    No point is he inked a 3 fight deal last time to fight at MGM this will be 2nd to that obligation.

    May be a shit show and he just retires afterwards too.

    If he fights after tonight would guess vs Manny

    Lennox Lewis vs. Evander Holyfield 1 ended in a draw where Lewis clearly won and that was huge fight at the time. Not out of the question when all this money can be made
