Running like Mayweather every time the fight should have taken place before this.

From reading some other forums, it looks like this is going to be the greatest sporting event in the history of Vegas. Regular rooms that normally sell for $200 a night are going for $2000+. Cosmo isn't even offering any rooms unless you have an established CL of 25k+. Some casino hosts are saying its going to take 150k CL with a 75k loss in the last year to even get looked at as far as comped tickets go. That's insane.

The $2000 example was a regular Wynn room which now shows as sold out. Im guessing your friend got rooms at Circus Circus because their normally $65 rooms are now going for $700 minimum.

Yup MGM reserving tickets for high rollers and the cheapest seats go for $1000.
If this happened 5years ago Floyd would be dead meat. Now they both have weakness revealed, more so Manny, but everytime his opponents thought they had an answer they lost. JMM was successful after 4 attempts, in which, JMM was in a whole lot of trouble before devastation. It hella funny how ppl keep saying Bradley would be the won to beat Pac, or Rios' aggression will beat Pac, or Alegieri's length and technique will beat Pac. Than after the fact, those guys are all of a sudden labeled bums. Not to mention all the PED rumors, baseless arguments... I got Pac 100% TKO before 10, Floyd will be forced to FIGHT. Floyd has never faced adversity, hence 47-0, Pac had comeback strong from 2 devastating KO's

If Mayweather wants more money, he won't mind losing on the cards, cuz then they'll be a rematch.

I'm sure legacy means more to him at this point of his career than money. 48-0 keeps him making money on cans. 47-1 means he has to take 2 more hard fights.

I haven't laid my bet yet but likely going Mayweather moneyline with a prop on Pac win via KO/TKO if I can get a good line.

What if:

Pacman is on the ultimate slow play? Let yourself step into some bad punches, take the KOs and Losses... Make yourself look weaker. It got the fight to happen right?

What if he's just sandbagging?

I think he will lose to Mayweather, as much as I don't want that, because it's just going to be the same old boring Mayweather win by points attrition. The only way this fight is not that^ is if Pacman is sandbagging to make this fight happen, make him look weaker but actually he's just as deadly.

Truth will come out saturday night.

OR it could be like some other recent fights and pretty much staged for the $.
