I'm already trying to get tickets to this fight.
Think of all the great fights and fighters (Ali, Tyson, Sugar Ray, etc.), and this fight would generate more revenue than any fight in the past. That's saying something.

first of all... mayweathers last fight brought in 80 mil. he got 30 of it guaranteed.
if mayweather and manny fight, it will probably bring in 100 million. mayweather will probably ask for 60:40, but i realistically i think manny has every right to ask for a 50/50 split.
mayweathers style is to defend and counter punch. thats why i would bet on mayweather to win. I am hoping the bookies ride the manny hype train and the odds favor manny. if so, i will be laying down big bux on mayweather.
mayweather is a boxer, not a bar room brawler. he moves around the ring well, and does not like to exchange punches like manny. he is also, longer than manny, so jabbing and counter punching is his best strat. if manny just goes into full attack mode, it will be playing directly into mayweathers strengths.
either way, i see the fight being awesome. would love to lay up a couple grand on mayweather and see the fight in vegas!!!!!

Chuck Liddell had a very similar style with his defend and counter punch then Rampage showed up and exploited his whole system for a knockout. I know im not making fair comparisons but principle is same.
Id like to see what Mayweather could do at the next level, be the aggressor and control the ring instead of being pushed around it.
Even in my experience boxing, I have came against guys like him and I have found the key to besting them is simply to take a step back instead of walking into their jabs so they can run away more and wear you down with it. There isnt a fight in this situation.
Mayweather is a phenominal boxer, no question, but I side with his father with my criticism.

Wanna say that to my face?
I'll meet you anytime, anywhere buddy. We can exchange some blows and I'll show you a thing or two.

after school
at the playground
behind the swings
under the monkey bars
One fight and they'd get tens of millions. That's crazy!
