Mayweather-Pacquaio

DonDiego would've preferred the fight to have taken place 4 years ago when both fighters were nearer their prime. He might've even paid to see, . . . NAH !, . . . who is DonDiego trying to kid? He would've waited to see a taped replay sometime after the fight.

Based upon the likelihood that Pacquaio will land more punches, DonDiego would take Pacquaio +170 on Saturday night.

I am rooting for Pacquaio for two other reasons:

1) Mayweather has a history of beating up women - History
2) Mayweather plans to post $10m bail for Suge Knight if he wins

Don Diego is such a fuddy duudy, but then again, that's common knowledge I believe.

From the Urban Dictionary: Fuddy Duddy

If poor old DonDiego were one to take offense easily, he would take offense, . . . but he's not.

From wikipedia: "The terms fusspot, fusser, stick-in-the-mud, spoilsport, wet blanket, old fogy/fogey, stuffed shirt and fuddy-dud are synonyms of the term."

Those are much more acceptable.

No offense was meant DD, just some harmless poking. I will keep fusspot and fusser in mind, I kinda like those.

Manny Pacquiao, millionaires scramble for tickets as market reaches absurd heights

"LAS VEGAS – For the low, low price of $797 you can purchase via StubHub.com a pretty good seat – Section 13, Row W in the MGM Grand Garden Arena – to see Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.

Not to see them fight, mind you, since they won't even be in the ring or wearing gloves. About $800 will merely get you a chance to watch each man climb up on a scale at Friday afternoon's weigh-in before engaging in a brief stare down as cameras flash. If it's really exciting, someone will need to take their shirt off to make weight..."

"...Oh, you want to see the actual fight on May 2? Well, on Thursday afternoon you could buy what is essentially a front-row seat on StubHub for $351,005.25. If that's too much, four front-row seats were available on RazorGator.com for $294,552 per ticket.

"I've never seen nothing like it," said Floyd Mayweather Sr., the 62-year-old former fighter and trainer.

No one has seen anything like this. More than $350,000 for one ticket? You could also just buy a four-bedroom, three-bath, 2,700 square-foot house in Vegas.

Right now the $351,005.25 is merely an offer and is unlikely to sell at that amount. Then again, there's no harm in trying..."

"Stubhub did sell tickets for $40,955, the most expensive single seat in the history of the company. With a dozen even higher-priced options on the site Thursday, it's a record that may soon fall. RazorGator expects the same.

"If that ticket sold for $294,552, it would be the highest-priced ticket ever sold on our site," RazorGator's Christi Goza said. The website merely serves as a middleman for sellers and purchases and takes a cut of the action.

Even taking out the extreme, the prices are absurd. Stubhub reported its average price for tickets sold is $6,268, which is higher than February's Super Bowl, the company's highest-grossing event ever.

The average listing on RazorGator was $14,802, more than double the $6,271 average asking price for tickets to the Super Bowl. To just get in the door for this fight – basically the last row – was a little more than $3,000 as of Thursday afternoon...."

My opinion, this fight is pumped up way more than it actually is.
It's a lot of hype to make it more interesting and more $$$.
Pac will win.
