$50. And I've never bought a boxing match before.
 
$50 - That is the market price, but if we are talking about my limit I would proabbly go $100. Is this fight happening soon is it? oh btw I prefer to watch from comfort of my home - you'd have to pay me to go to the stadium.
 
Id stream it for free over the internet...
 
$0.00
 
rofl it looks like nobody here even know who these guys are.

there are people who would pay 5k for a good ticket.

I know who these guys are. I meant 50 for PPV. I couldn't even think of paying for a live ticket.
 
I would pay $50 to see pac-man win another 12-round snoozefest.
 
i'd put money on mayweather. he can defend too well against pac-man who's got no power.

This would be a great fight. Pacman's offensive ability v Floyd's defensive prowess. If it does happen though the event would be atleast a year off :(.

I'd go Pac-Man. I think he is fast enough to win.

They would have to pay me before I watch that. And no, I have not a single clue who "Pacquino" or "Mayweather" are :biggrin:

Fast doesn't mean anything if you can't land. Mayweather can defend well, take power punches well, and counter very effectively. So speed is not autowin...

There was some dispute about the drug test, Mayweather thought he is using "power pellets" (lol) which means he's a bit scared, but I don't see why Manny didn't just take the test if there was nothing to hide. I say both are at fault, Mayweather a bit more probably.
