Heart wants Manny, head says Money. Either way, I'm glad there'll be enough pomp, circumstance and BS before the fight to give me time to hit the bar after work before it all goes down.

Mayweather banned Rachel Nichols and Michelle Beadle from ringside.

What a human STD.

What bar are you watching it at? I've heard they are charging businesses some ridiculous fees to show it. I was at P&L last week and they said a $75 cover but that includes free drinks I think. Still, I'd order it at home before paying that.

That's an overly benevolent way of looking at him. Of course, he's Las Vegas personified.

Turns out my buddy down the street is having people over so that plan went out the window.

It's incredible that Mayweather has made literally a billion dollars almost entirely off of people hate-watching him. I've heard a lot of people buying in to the conspiracy theory that it's already decided Pac will win so they can do this a couple more times. I don't think Floyd's ego would allow that. I'm fully expecting him to win by decision and would be shocked at any other outcome.

I read that there have been a ton of issues with PPV delays.

Well, that was boring. Wasn't that like watching Kurt Warner and the Greatest Show on Turf take on Ray Lewis and the Ravens. I mean now, not in their prime.

I hate to say it, but damn Mayweather is good. Not the most exciting fighting style, but damn he's good. Can't hit him.
