Mayweather v The Packman

[Chicog]

A couple of links listing channels. It's on BBTV7 FTA which presumably will be with Thai commentary.

But loads of others, many of them not PPV, which means loads of streams as well.

Coconuts fb page, confirming shown free on Channel 7, main fight starting 10am.Very convenient for the previous late night English football followers

The Game is advertising it on its FB page. Knowing how popular this bar is with ThaiVisa punters, I'm sure it'll be rammed...

[wisemonkey]

This fights happening about 5 years too late, would have been amazing with both fighters in their prime, Floyd takes this easily in my opinion.

[sharktooth]

Can't see much work getting done in the Philippines on the day of the fight. Kinda like any other day there really...

I concur. Would have been the other way round with Manny at his peak IMHO.

Wasn't there talk a few years ago of a match up, but Pacquio wouldn't agreed to some drug testing in the run up to the fight?

[CMKiwi]

That is true and the Pacman team rightly refused the ridiculous blood tests that the Money Mayweather team wanted for it to happen It wasnt that Manny was worried about the results but his body recovering within the time frame before the fight. It was all a bit silly that whole fiasco. But this time its on....I agree its 5 years overdue

[sharktooth]

Wouldn't both of them been subjected to the same tests though? And blood tests aren't exactly draining.

Here is a good documentary to get you in the mood for it, also explains the disputes about blood testing and stuff: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hF76dlQt23c

I am firmly in camp Manny, despite his poorer record. Floyd comes off as an arrogant xxxx. I will just have a lie in on Sunday most likely, avoid Facebook and then just download a copy with English commentary an hour after it finishes.

[Chicog]

I asked my local Golf club if they would be screening it with breakfast. They decided not to when OSN said it would cost them just short of US$9000 to buy the PPV!

[baywatch82]

... or you can watch it on ilikeHD for 30 baht

It's three years too late.

Five years too late.

Pac is past his prime and has been in too many wars while Mayweather dodged him and didn't fight.

Pacman will likely chase him around the ring for 12 rounds while Mayweather counters and the fight will be boring.

HBO is promoting Pacquaio. Showtime is promoting Mayweather.

Here is part 1 of the timeline dealing with the negotiations for the fight with links where the information stated can be verified.

Pac may be past his prime but he is 2 years younger than Mayweather. I would also argue that Mayweather has fought the tougher competition. Check how many champions Pac defeated VS Mayweather.

In regards to dodging Pac, please read the timeline for the negotiations posted on this tread.

My dodgy Sky providers have already said they are going to stream the PPV.

Plus I have another box with all the Flip channels.

I watched a Pacman fight on Flipland tv before. 1/3 of the screen was taken up with advertising and then they started delaying the rounds with 10 minute commercials. Nucking Fightmare.

I watched one in Angeles once and they didn't do that.

So maybe you just got unlucky with the channel.

[CMKiwi]

I see Chiang Mai Saloon (Near UN Irish) is advertising the fight and they open at 0830 for prelim drinks! With a special on Bloody Marys. Very tempting but may end up with me missing the fight. ... maybe not such a good idea.

[khwaibah]

B&B Sugar Bar is showing it.

[scottiejohn]

So is Red Lion from 0900.

In regards to dodging Pac, please read the timeline for the negotiations posted on this tread.

Mayweather wanted to come out of retirement and dictate the terms of the fight including weight, weight of gloves, date of fight, wanted a 60-40 split of the purse in his favor, blood testing that Pac agreed to the terms of, which Mayweather's camp kept changing, etc...

Pac also fought in several wars over the past few years and is a shadow of himself. Mayweather knew that Pac would be in tough fights that would "age" him and Mayweather stalled for years.

Fight fans are the losers because this fight should have taken place years ago but Mayweather simply wouldn't sign to any terms unless they were his terms.

"These are my specifications for this fight regarding blood testing. I have offered to give a blood sample the day of the announcement of the fight at the (press conference). I have offered to give a blood sample 30 days before the fight. I am willing to give blood immediately after the fight is over inside my dressing room. I am also willing to give urine tests at anytime, anywhere, every day leading up to the fight," Pacquiao explained in a prepared statement, outlining his original offer to take 3 non-random blood tests."
