What a performance from Moneyman! :clap:
Thought he might've been a goner in the 2nd round. Mosley had him in real trouble Never seen him rocked like that. Ever!
But his response was that of a true true gladiator. He just beat the feck out of Mosley.

So glad Mosley made it to the end though.

I was actually gonna buy this, glad I didn't cos I fell asleep. Mosley uis 38 and I really didn't think he'd be able to hang with Mayweather, sounds like I was completely wrong.

It wasn't on PPV Fab, unless you're not in England? I forgot!

I recorded it last night and watched it before work this morning.

Really enjoyed watching Mayweather. Thought he had f***ked it in the second round and his boxing was all wrong. He wasn't boxing like usual but then changed after he nearly got knocked down twice. Another professional performance from him in the end and he didn't even have a scratch on him as usual.

I read he called out Pacman again afterwards, is that true and has Pacman responded?

He didn't call Pacquiao out, Pacquiao recently said he ease up on the blood testing and would be willing to get tested 2 weeks before the fight and straight after, as long as it was just enough to test. They need to get this sorted and get this fight planned.

Yea he didn't really call Pacquiao out, he just said that all roads lead to Mayweather. Meaning if someone wants to be called the best, they have to beat him. Probably a true statement. Pacquiao has been against this 14 days before the fight drug test because he said he doesn't want to have to have blood drawn that close to the fight because of possible fatigue, but Olympic athletes get blood drawn hours before they compete. Is he a bit scared of Floyd?

Not at all.
He's simply saying that he'll abide by the rules set up by the Nevada State Boxing Commission (rules he has abided by all his career) not by the rules set up by Floyd Mayweather.
The tail must not be allowed to wag the dog..... ;)

Whats the difference in days before testing? Was it like 6? The commission said 20, but Floyd wanted 14? I understand him not wanting to go by Mayweathers rules, but if he ain't got nothing to hide then why not just let this fight happen?

I'm hoping they'll work it out. Should be a good one.

Because in a macho sport neither side want to seen to be conceding anything to the other.

Put it this way.....
Arsenal are due to play Man Utd in a cup final.
Alex Ferguson suddenly demands that all 11 Arsenal players had to be tested before game and Wenger refuses as it's not enforcable under FA rules.
Suddenly the cup final is in danger of being postponed.
Would we be saying "why don't we just do it if we've got nothing to hide?" or would we be saying "Good for Wenger telling Ferguson to f**k off, who does he think he is wanting to set his own rules?"

I think it'll happen mate. Too big a fight not to.

Yea I get what your saying. Its hard to say what I would do unless I was in their position. I'm just a selfish fan that wants to see the fight happen. Just hope it lives up to the hype.
