    That's funny about the sparring partners.

    http://espn.go.com/chalk/story/_/id/12418896/early-action-las-vegas-manny-pacquiao

    LAS VEGAS -- Manny Pacquiao has always believed he can do what 47 other fighters before him have failed to do -- beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the ring.

    Turns out a lot of other people are believers too. And they are backing their opinions with money.

    A flurry of early action on Pacquiao has already narrowed the odds for the big fight in this city's legal sportsbooks. By the time they get into the ring May 2, it's conceivable that Mayweather might not be favored at all.

    "I've never seen Mayweather this low eight weeks out before the fight," said Jimmy Vaccaro, who has booked money on every big fight for the past four decades in Las Vegas. "This is as close as we get to a legitimate pick 'em fight since Mayweather fought [Oscar] De La Hoya."

    i'm not saying Pacquiao will beat Mayweather, just saying Manny has a chance to beat Money.

    Mayweather deserves to win.

    He is too good at boxing.

    I don't think Manny has a chance. Technically, Mayweather is just so much better of a boxer.


    Money May- UD

    I'm not sure what you mean, because it seems like any Floyd fan acts/sounds like that.

    I question the moral compass of anyone who roots for Mayweather.

    The reasoning from camp Mayweather is weak. Saying that if they fail drug test the fight is off, so they lose (out on) much more than 5 mil. If he was all about testing and being on an even playing field before, what is 5 mil? It's not the money, but the principle in this case.

    On the other hand, I agree, why is this coming up now? Shouldn't it have been during contract negotiations? Maybe it was one of the sticking points of the discussions? Or as Skip Bayless puts it, maybe it is just another way for camp Pac to try and mess with Mayweather. I don't think it's going to phase May tho. Although, Leonard Ebbebbbeebbee seemed pretty annoyed by it, haha.

    100% agreed. Only scumbags cheer for Mayweather.
