I think that Mayweather is aware that the style of Pacquiao will cause him problems, and when combined with a few other issues (Bob Arum, Showtime/HBO network problems, Al Haymon etc.), you can see why the fight hasn't been made yet.
Pacquiao has declined moreso than Mayweather in recent years, which is why Mayweather is more inclined to fight him now.
In terms of mental strength, I think both fighters are solid coming into the bout, though if it came down to a war of attrition, Pacquiao has more experience and fortitude.
Anyone seen the weigh in, i gotta hand it to Manny, despite the scope of the fight ge seems really relaxed (gitty, even). If style makes fight, then this should be one of the illest fight ever.
Tracey Morgan was yellin' at Manny at the back during that staredown with Floyd, shoutin' "You gon' knocked the **** out!".
Then Manny just smiles it off and raises his hands as the crowd cheered.

Sounded real though, didn't it? I was half expecting Mayweather to pull something like that, but I guess he's finally not obsessed with his 0 losses anymore.
No way the boxing mafia gonna agree about that, though.
He just needs 2 more fights to surpass Rocky Marciano's winning streak.
IF he ever loses, I expect a rematch.
Though I'm not quite sure, given the rocky relationship between HBO and Showtime as well as Top Rank and Golden Boy.
Win or lose, I expect Pacquiao is definitely gonna retire after this fight.
He now has everything he wanted: fame, power, money, friends, businesses, a loving family.
He came from nothing, and became something.
Certified boxing HoF'er in my book.

^^not to mention its Vegas - Mayweather's backyard lol. Adrien Broner actually alluded to referee Kenny Bayless favoring Floyd lol. Of course u can't take Broner's word too serious as he's an idiot. But Bayless does have a history of prematurely breaking up fight/clinch, which gets annoying. I hope he just let these two go at it.

Shut up man.
Give them some respect.
Lomachenko is one of the greatest amateur boxers of all time, with a record of 396-1.
And becoming world champion after just 4 fights as pro is proof.
And now, he just won the fight by KO at Round 9.
He keeps the WBO Featherweight belt
Rodriguez is one of the dirtiest fighters I've ever seen. He hit Vasyl with like a dozen of lowblows.
He never deserved this match. It was good to see him get that beat down for that shit.
