The big day is here.

Having a Filipina partner, and having lived there the past 4 years, I know what this fight means to the Philippines.

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, across the country, packs into bars/pubs/cafes, to watch Manny fight. Its an awesome experience to be there during one of his bouts. He is almost his own religion there.

Of course, I'm hoping for a Pacqiuao win, but this could go either way.

Who's camp are you in, and who do you think will win?

Go Manny!!

I'm team Manny. Just researching if I'll be able to watch the game at the G with my Country Membership gen admin ticket. I see the MCC are putting it on, hopefully one of the other bars that I can access will too.

In a perfect world it'll start at half time, Manny will K.O. the loudmouth in the first 3 and we won't miss any of the Dees win!

I missed the dees better half only to watch that load mouth win on points.

And now we have McGregor vs Mayweather. 

Vegas are saying that 93% of the money coming in has gone on McGregor.  I suppose the odds on offer for Conor are hard to resist. 

The fight is scheduled to start at 1pm on Sunday (AEST) but may start and hour or so later.  I'll be tuning in if only because it's a fascinating match-up.

The best defensive boxer in the business vs a puncher's chance?  I may be selling McGregor a bit short though ... who knows?

 

 

 

I'd say somewhere between Mayweather in 8 rounds to distance
