24/7 on HBO is pretty damn good. I don't know, I hope that Oscar pulls an upset, but it looks like Mayweather got him outmatched.
I am cheering for Oscar though, one last great fight!

Whatever happens, it's bound to be a BIG fight - I'm guessing it's gonna go the distance. Apparently 50 Cent is gonna walk Mayweather out to the ring!
Looking foward to it - it's on at 3 in the morning here, so gonna (TIVO) it!

just like i had expected. mayweather won by split decision...his percentage of punches landed was over 50%, which is pretty damn accurate. still, one of the best fights ive seen in a while.

It really wasn't that good to watch, but vintage Mayweather nonetheless. He just let De la Hoya be the aggressor. De la Hoya made a good point at the end when he said you usually have to beat the champ to win the belt. Floyd did not "beat" the champ. Really boring fight.

Well Mayweather won by defense. It's too bad, I was hoping Oscar would be able to take it.
At least he went all 12 Rounds though.

Mayweather might have won the battle, but not the war

i thought it was great because of the skill levels and resumes of both fighters. its not everyday that you get to see such a matchup

oh it was definitely a great "match-up" but floyd honestly just outpointed him. I thought the fight where he dismantled Gatti was more of what would happen to De la Hoya, who was much slower than Floyd. It just seemed that Floyd fought way too conservatively. If i paid 55 bucks to watch that, i'd be a little annoyed that after all Floyd's talk he wasn't the aggressor at all. He was good for promotion though and that 24/7 HBO show was awesome.
