Pacquiao vs. Mayweather 5/2: Better late than never!

[DJnVa]

WTF Jim Gray, asking about losing to the Giants.

 

[Dollar]

I was wondering earlier why Brady decided on the Derby over the boxing match.  I guess he decided to do both instead.
 
I hope Gronk came along too, if only to tackle Jim Gray.

 

[cshea]

Fuck off Jim

 

[PseuFighter]

I hope gronk parachutes in.

Gronk, Edelman, and Amendola are all supposed to be going as well according to their social media posts earlier in the day.

Stalling HARD

They're going to stall the main event for a while because so many people are ordering the PPV right now that the systems can't keep up

 

[OCST]

there's a good 300 people packed into this bar (that i hadn't heard of until like a week ago). total pac crowd.

No one likes Floyd.

He is respected but not liked.

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

We are at least 45 minutes from the start.  

 

[PseuFighter]

we are officially in a rain delay.

Update: HBO's Mark Taffet told @ChrisMannixSI that #MayPac could be delayed about 45 min due to pay-per-view issues http://on.si.com/1DLDdYY 

 

[rembrat]

We are at least 45 minutes from the start.  

 
Seriously? I was already on the fence about staying up for a 11:30pm start...

 

[leetinsley38]

"It feels like the Nottingham Arena".  The British feed I'm listening to....

 

[CTSOX]

any chance on a PM?

 

[Revkeith]

Barkley and Reggie Miller were absolutely shitfaced.

 

[DJnVa]

Everyone trying to turn this into a "boxing is back" thing. It's not. It's just this fight.
 
It's like the Tiger Woods effect.

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Bar owners are loving the delay.

So issues? Or lots and lots of orders?

 

[kelpapa]

Lots of orders. They can't keep up with all hte orders, was what Gray said.

 

[PseuFighter]

literally trapped at this bar. bar business is way up with this delay

 

[DJnVa]

"It feels like the Nottingham Arena".  The British feed I'm listening to....

 
But can they do it on a rainy night in Stoke?

 

[PseuFighter]

curious how cable systems can't keep up with all the orders. just wondering is all (the tech side of me is wondering).

 

[MakMan44]

I thought they cut off orders in advance. 

 

[Senator Donut]

Time Warner Cable is screwing me and I'm not even a customer.

 

[Turrable]

Does this mean it's starting?

 

[SuperManny]

Does this mean it's starting?

 
They said 5 mins on the feed I have.

 

[DJnVa]

curious how cable systems can't keep up with all the orders. just wondering is all (the tech side of me is wondering).

 
I wonder if they're hunting down streams.
 
I see Buffer in the ring.

 

[MentalDisabldLst]

why on earth wouldnt they just let people buy the PPV after the fight had started? as long as people will keep paying, no downside for them.

 

[PseuFighter]

they showed the fight start or whatever graphic a few mins ago.

 

[DJnVa]

If fight is delayed, it's a good thing they have all these video packages available. How fortuitous.

 

[Ale Xander]

Is the fight going to make it before the 2AM Mass. closure if it goes full?

 

[PseuFighter]

why on earth wouldnt they just let people buy the PPV after the fight had started? as long as people will keep paying, no downside for them.

they will. that's not the issue. orders aren't processing right now.

 

[Turrable]

I love the arrows letting me know that Floyd is good because he punches towards the face

 

[DJnVa]

Something to watch for--this ref has a penchant for breaking up clinches rather quickly. This helps Mayweather. 
 
Pac would rather the ref tells them to fight out of it.

 

[DJnVa]

Clearly not a 45 minute delay. Here we go.

 

[Bigpupp]

So I know nothing about boxing. This is the biggest boxing event since....?

 

[jsinger121]

it's starting

 

[Kliq]

WTF do we have to hear the national anthem of Mexico when we are already hearing two other national anthems? I mean, I get that Mexicans are a huge market for boxing, but jeeze.

 

[Revkeith]

Pitbull is singing the shit out of this Mexican national anthem.

 

[DJnVa]

So I know nothing about boxing. This is the biggest boxing event since....?

 
 
Yes.

 

[mikeford]

michael buffer sounds like shit.

 

[DJnVa]

Imagine if every sporting event had the anthem of every country represented in the game?
 
NHL pregame would take 35 minutes.

 

[PseuFighter]

 
 
Yes.

Tyson/mcneely

 

[Bigpupp]

 
 
Yes.

So all the "biggest event ever" that I'm hearing on the stream isn't hype?

 

[DJnVa]

Jamie Foxx?

 

[canderson]

My trashy neighbors are broadcasting this on the side of their house.

 

[mikeford]

THIS IS NOT HOW THE ANTHEM GOES, JAMIE

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Fighters are still in the dressing room.  We are 20 minutes from a punch being thrown.

 

[DJnVa]

So all the "biggest event ever" that I'm hearing on the stream isn't hype?

 
Nothing says biggest event ever like Jamie Foxx singing the national anthem.

 

[Madmartigan]

He really went for it there

 

[jsinger121]

Pro Manny crowd
