Mayweather/Pacquiao Title Fight Comments and Prediction

I am pretty sure I have tomorrow night’s Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao much hyped title fight in perspective, both socially and from a historical point of view.

The 100 million dollars Mayweather will earn–win, lose or (can you imagine a draw!!)–is another sign of societal decay.

Yet the market dictated it and far be it from me to tell Mayweather not to take the money. A suggested donation to earthquake victims in Nepal is as far as I will go.

This is so far from Muhammad Ali/Joe Frazier and not just for sociological reasons, but also for boxing reasons, as not to even compare it.

Certainly both are very good fighters, Mayweather perhaps a great one. “Sugar Ray” Robinson he is not, and Pacquiao is not Jake La Motta.

Having said that, the 2 to 1 favorite Mayweather does have reason to be concerned, as this could be a very competitive fight.

Styles make a fight. My opinion that Pacquiao has no “style advantage,” plus that Mayweather appears to be the better, bigger fighter, I predict Mayweather to win a unanimous, fairly hard fought decision.
