Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao official poster released ahead of $300m Las Vegas showdown

Attachment 69378
With just 40 days until Floyd Mayweather finally comes face-to-face with Manny Pacquiao inside a ring, the official poster for their mega-fight has been released.

The two boxers - Mayweather on the left and Pacquiao on the right - are both drenched in sweat as they pose in their fight trunks, staring menacingly down the camera with their hands wrapped.

Their names are displayed in striking orange font, as is the date of the fight (May 2) and the eastern and pacific start times of the Las Vegas show.
Also included are logos for the fight's venue, the MGM Grand, and Showtime and HBO - the US broadcasters which will jointly broadcast the show live on pay-per-view.

Sky Sports are expected to show Mayweather's long-awaited clash with Pacquiao in the UK, although it could cost viewers over £20 to see it.

Meanwhile one of Mayweather's former opponents, Saul Alvarez, believes the American will dictate whether the fight is an exciting one for those watching around the world.

He told Fox Deportes: 'Floyd is very smart. He can makes things frustrating or he can make a spectacular fight. He does not expose anything.

'In the past, he's thrown very few shots and makes things difficult. If he exposes himself just a little bit more, we can get an enjoyable fight.

'Pacquiao comes forward and he's always throwing a lot of punches, and he's fast. He can complicate things with his movement as he did with (Timothy) Bradley and (Juan Manuel) Marquez. Hopefully the fight is attractive.'


Fuzo taken all bets lol jk

I can't wait! It should be a good one. I'm going with Manny. If he can press Floyd and get him to fight...I think he'll win. If Floyd boxes and runs...then I think Floyd will win. Should be a good one!

Floyd just hired a chef to prepare each meal up to the contest for $100 a meal. Was this smart? or just showboating?
~Trixie~

definitely showboating! He to much of a show off maybe because am going with the underdog. specially when he fought Victor Ortiz. Lost respect but that's my thoughts. I do anything to see thus fight tho lol

Sorry about the spelling lol ni opaion to fix it.

Mistaken"
He's paying $1000 per meal.

Really? This fight has been at least a decade in the making. It's not about how good they are now. It's how good they use to be. It's about how crazy the fight WOULDVE been 10 years ago. Mayweather is a very smart businessman and is marketing what COULD'VE been. Not what is. More than likely this will be Mayweather's last fight and hes trying to set up a very nice pay day for himself on the way out.

^ HE STILL ISNT WORTH $300 MILLION

I HOPE HE GETS HIS BLOCK KNOCKED OFF!
