Remember Butterbean calling out Mike Tyson back in the day?

Who would have won that fight? A Prime Tyson vs. a Prime Butterbean.

Dana White is a fan of Manny Pacqiuo

Last 4 PPV's have averaged over 1 mil buys

BR — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:40:54 GMT

I thought Dana and Rogan said that after Floyd v DLH boxing would die? I just noticed that the last 4 boxing PPV's have done on average over 1 mil buys. Pretty good for a dying sport. Now if they could only work on the under cards.

PAC v DLH = 1.25MIL
PAC v Hatton = 850k
JJM v PBF= 1mil
Pac v Cotto= 1.25

What will the odds be: Pacman and Floyd Mayweather jr?

TimmyC — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:12:11 GMT

Best case senario I think would be even up... I still beat Floyd would be the favorite by a bit. Floyd -120 to -150 (to win 100 ) I say....and I am usually pretty good at predicting odds for boxing/mma / or nfl football.

Consider all of these facts!

Rem Floyd is undefeated...the naturally bigger man(Manny started out at 106 lbs to Floyd's lightest weight weight 131!!!!)....and Pac has 3 losses( 2 by KO)!

Floyd does NOT know how to lose.

I think Manny is a quick as Floyd and hits harder( 70% ko ratio to Floyd's 62% ko ratio).

Floyd probably has the better chin though.

Manny is hot though..Floyd maybe a bit rusty.

Also Floyds defense is great(much better than Mannys) and he could turn it into a boring fight if he wants..circling...running around the ring...shoulder defense...countering,etc.

He could run back peddle...circle....to a boring victory....never really getting it on w/ Manny. I can see Floyd running and countering and flurrying then circling all night.

With that said...I cannot stand Floyd and would love love love to see him get koyed!

Go Manny...I just don't see him pulling it off or being the favorite!

I give Manny a 30% shot at winning.
