Among boxing fans - it is a fight they all wanted to see 

I'm as much a boxing fan as anyone, thanks.

Pacman/Money is still the fight everyone beyond anoraks wants to see, the Money/Alvarez fight barely registers in comparison. That line is a wonderful piece of creative licence.

I don't think that Pacquaio and Mayweather is the fight anymore given Pacquaio's recent form.  Alvarez looks good but then again his record is beefed up with a lot of fillers.

He's also fought 43 times by the age of 22 and has noticeably shifted up in class over the last few years. Factor in the size difference Mayweather will face on the night (Canelo will pack on the guts of a stone following the weigh-in) and it's the riskiest fight out there for Floyd to take at the minute. Pacquiao may still hold some interest, but it's a fight that should have happened three years ago and everyone knows it.

Aye, it could still happen but wont have the same appeal.  Canelo will be big and strong and as you mentioned it is probably the riskiest fight out there for Mayweather, but in a way he knows he probably couldn't run from Canelo after running from Pacquaio as his legacy would take a serious hit, so better to face Canelo now as opposed to in his 50th fight when Mayweather will be older and obviously not as good with Canelo having improved in the intervening period.  Who will be the other four fights for Mayweather?  Will he get the 50-0?  I imagine that is what he is aiming for, get the 50-0 and retire, putting himself ahead of Marciano.

Sorry, but you're wrong. However, that isn't to say that I think this is a bigger fight than Pacman vs Mayweather would have been pre the KO loss to Marquez, because it isn't.

[gallsman]

Who will be the other four fights for Mayweather?

Dunno about the four, but I'd like to see him, weight permitting, round it out against Broner.

At his weight now, unfortunately it isn't that interesting. If Pacquiao hangs around, he probably gets a shot, Marquez might get a rematch though personally wouldn't be too interested in seeing that. From just below, Matthysse might step up in weight or Danny Garcia, but i'd prefer Matthysse. Above him, possibly Trout at 154 if he comes back well from loss to Canelo. I'd imagine anything at middleweight is a step too far even for Floyd, but if he was to go there then Martinez or Golovkin would be interesting. Geale is a good boxer but would need to build up a bit more of a name before he would be considered i'd imagine.

I'd like to see Broner as well, though I'd like to see Broner vs Gamboa before he makes any step up in weight.

Let's see what Khan can do with Virgil Hunter. If he gets a few good wins, then would probably be entertaining - Khan is rarely in a boring fight. That said I think Mayweather would wipe the floor with him

Katie Taylor has won a fifth consecutive European title today.

[nrico2006]

Is the Haye and Fury fight on Sky Box Office - how did that happen if Fury had the deal with CH5?  What is the craic with Boxnation and their payments.  Looking to get the Mayweather fight and wondering if you can pay a one off fee.

[gallsman]

Is there any way to get BoxNation on UPC in the south? Really don't want to have to resort to a dodgy stream for the Mayweather fight.

[gallsman]

Doesn't look like there's a way to get BoxNation on UPC or online. Anyone able to recommend as reliable source for streaming?

Type in boxing guru to google and should give you a link

[blewuporstuffed]

Has anyone been watching the All access series on mayweather & canelo  as a build up to the fight?
All 4 episodes should all be on youtube.
They are all about hyping the fight, but are still very good

[whiskeysteve]

Hype for this is a joke. Mayweather will get on his bike and pick him off all night. Cant believe so many are buying into this contest, a marketing masterclass from the promoters

[Mikhail Prokhorov]

cant see anything other than a floyd victory on pts
