    I'm as interested in it as any other event without a British participant in it.

    I've no interest at all. Robbing fans by picking a small venue instead of a massive stadium so more real fans can see it live. Most of the tickets gone to the press, sponsors, associates of the fighters etc. Twenty quid on Box Office? No ta. Watch live at 4 am a fight between two guys who aren't ours? No thanks. Should have happened five years ago when both guys were nearer their prime.

    Boxing has to be the ultimate sport for fleecing fans. All these made up feuds that are over the second the fight finishes to get people interested.

    Have to admit I will be watching this one, but I'm not paying SkySports a penny!

    I am interested but this isnt a fight for boxing fans 200k+ for a ringside seat ridiculous. Sky charging 25quid on day to watch it. As for ufc I dont like the grappling and the rounds seem to go on too long but eaxh to there own.i dont think it will live up to the hupe Floyd to win on points

    The proceeds of the weigh in are going to charity lets be honest if you plan on going £4.30 isnt going to break the bank .

    Il be watching it at the Grosvenor Casino with beer in hand rather spend £20 on ale than pay for fight

    I'm not interested in knitting.

    I might start a thread on a football forum, just so I can find out who else isn't interested.

    I'll watch it & enjoy it but unfortunately it doesn't prove who the better man is it just proves who's got the most left as both have declined over the past few years.

    I think a lot of casual fans who won't have seen much of Floyd or Manny since they both fought Hatton are going to feel a bit hard done by after spending £20 on it as Hatton made both of them fights exciting with his come forward style.

    Floyd's not normally exciting to watch & Manny isn't as exciting as he once was when he fought the Marquez trilogy, Diaz, Cotto & Hatton.

    Will take 3-4 rounds for one of them to land a punch

    I don't think it'll be that cagey as Pacquaio always comes to fight but Floyd always eases into the fight to work out his opponent

    Look at results of both fighters last 5 bouts, hardly inspiring to say the least. To be honest it's all hype and won't be tuning in as I'll be fast on getting some beauty sleep

    I for one am definitely looking forward to it, and think its about time this fight happened, think both fighters need the fight as it would have always been a what if question if it never happened.
