OK, I'm not interested in getting into an online debate on this, but well, I say this is a fight that would really make Manny's career, not that it isn't great now but a win over Floyd would really take it to the top. So based on the importance of this fight, I say it's more of a motivation for Pac.

Second, we would've seen each fighter in his prime back five years ago and they would've made big dough back then, plus enough room for several rematches. So yes, this fight is late.

And a history of domestic violence IS disturbing, rather disappointed that you don't think so. Considering how the sports leagues are cracking down on players who abuse their women, and yet Floyd...

Again, both boxers were in their primes back in 2009-10 so yes, I stand by my assertion (and that of most boxing experts) that this fight is five to six years late, though better late than never. Fine if you disagree.

Now you mention Tyson? Aside from his rape conviction, he's been in trouble with the law time and time again.

Also in 1986, a sales clerk in an Albany, N.Y., shopping mall complained that Tyson had become violent when she rebuffed his sexual proposition. Later the same night, Tyson was ejected from a nearby movie theater following a similar complaint. In June 1987, Tyson allegedly tried to kiss a woman in a parking lot, and struck the lot attendant who came to the woman's defense. Tyson was charged with misdemeanor assault and battery and assault with a deadly weapon, but paid $105,000 to settle the case out of court. In February 1988, Tyson married Robin Givens. Four months later Givens and her family went public with allegations that Tyson had beaten her.

In December 1988, two women filed separate claims that Tyson had grabbed and groped them in a nightclub; Tyson was eventually fined $100. In April 1989, Tyson was accused of beating a parking lot attendant outside a Los Angeles nightclub.

And again, it's disturbing how you gloss over these things but hey, feel free to think what you will.

Take the side conversion somewhere else. the original topic of thread is not a discussion of who you think will win, or how money the fighters would have made 5 years ago. That is a thread for the Off-topic Forum.

A rich celebrity who's frankly gullible and prone to manipulation being accused of things isn't nothing new. The US is country where people automatically jump to the woman's side at any sort of dispute against a man, with or without hard evidence. I don't assume something is automatically true because a court says it.

I disagree for a reason. The only thing you keep bringing up is "most boxing experts." Repeating that phrase doesn't really constitute an argument. Why exactly is it "late" in your opinion?

You should move this to the off-topic. I don't know why this was made in this section anyway.

It's good that this is being televised by a major Korean network, though I'm thinking it'll be time delayed by 20 minutes or so as were the last two Pac-man fights aired in Korea (but they were on cable channels).

Coverage begins at 12:10 p.m. that day.

Bump, this is gonna be great AND I think the time delay will be in seconds, not minutes!

It begins at 11 am according to the website. Hope they show some of the undercards. Always fun to watch Lomachenko wreck people.

I will be surprised if this is anything but a Mayweather unanimous decision.

Most overhyped fight of the century.

[Stan Rogers]

I just made a bet on Pac Man to win.
