Everyone's got an opinion on Floyd Mayweather v Manny Pacquiao! Check out the predictions from these well-known personalities...
I’m going to go with Mayweather. I think it’s going to go 12 rounds but I think Pacquiao might get knocked down.
I’m going to go with Mayweather. I think it’s going to go 12 rounds but I think Pacquiao might get knocked down.
If Mayweather didn’t take this fight, in years to come he would walk down the street and people would say ‘you didn’t fight Pacquiao’. His ego couldn’t live with that. He needed to take the fight for that reason, to cement his legacy.
There are a lot of boxing trainers who are telling me to put my money on Pacquiao. He’s in the best shape, I was watching him training on television, he’s more dedicated now. I wouldn’t put it past Pacquiao to win.
My heart wants Manny Pacquiao to win, but my head is saying that it’s going to be a tough one. There are a lot of boxing trainers who are telling me to put my money on Pacquiao. He’s in the best shape, I was watching him training on television, he’s more dedicated now. I wouldn’t put it past Pacquiao to win.
Mayweather will win because he's too fast and elusive. I think Pacquiao has deteriorated more as a fighter. I see Mayweather by stoppage around the 10th round.
I want Pacquiao to win. I admire and respect Mayweather for what he’s achieved from his background, and how he’s overcome adversity in life, so he’s got every right to be boastful. But Pacquiao is more humble and I prefer his story.
There’s plenty of debate in the squad about who is going to win and personally, I think it will be a good fight. I’m hoping for a surprise Pacquiao win but a lot of the guys are tipping Mayweather and I reckon he might knock Pacquiao out in round four.
A fight like this - as big as it’s going to be - it’s down to who is going to be able to keep their nerve and game plan the best. With the experience he’s got and the level he’s been at throughout his career, I can’t look past Mayweather. I think he is going to have too much.
They are both fantastic boxers, they have both given a lot to the sport. If I’m made to give a decision, I would like to see Mayweather go all the way and stay unbeaten. This is a fight that we never thought would happen so, if my life was on the line, I would go with Mayweather.
I see Mayweather winning. For Pacquiao to win he is going to have to knock Mayweather out, his defence is too good. He is just going to stay there until the 12th round and will know he can win it on points.
Mayweather is going to be too quick. He’s so fast. Pacquiao is such a good guy, but I’ve got to go with Mayweather, he's going to win. I just hope they produce a great fight.
It’s tough to bet against Floyd, he’s so quick so it’s difficult to gain an advantage over him. I interfered in the WrestleMania main-event but they don’t have to worry about me coming to the ring during this match!
I’m a fan of big in-ring fights of any kind. It’s tough to bet against Floyd, he’s so quick so it’s difficult to gain an advantage over him. I would pick him for that reason. I interfered in the WrestleMania main-event but they don’t have to worry about me coming to the ring during this match!
I feel like it’s going to go all the way. I reckon Mayweather will win on points, but I’m praying for some dream, out-of-the blue knockout from Pacquiao.
I just think that Mayweather is going to win because of his unbeaten record and what I have seen of his performances.
Mayweather. He’s been on top of his game throughout his career, he’s a multi-time world champion, he’s never lost. Some of his fights haven’t been the easiest but he still comes out on top. His defence is his best attribute, he’s untouchable.
I would have liked to have seen this fight when Pacquiao was at the top, because I think Mayweather is just going to take it.
I think Manny’s defeat to Juan Manuel Marquez, once a fighter gets knocked out like that you are just never the same.
Floyd’s going to touch down in this fight and Pacquiao will win on points.
Pacquiao is the whole deal, he combines his hobbies around the sport. But when it comes to fighting, he’s one of the elite, he’s going to be ready for this event. There’s a sense of destiny about this.
My heart says Pacquiao but my head says Mayweather.
He’s saying that he believes he’s the greatest, better than Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson. You’ve got to be careful what you say. Stick in your own era, he’s obviously an unbelievable fighter and has never been on the floor, so stick with that.
