Floyd needs to make this box office....should be a good fight although last one was not...unsure why a rematch but Floyd obviously sees an easy win

I think its a risky fight for Mayweather. Although the £44 million he earned first time around may have something to do with taking this fight!
Maidana was by far the more aggressive fighter in that last fight, the problem is he didn't get near Mayweather enough and couldn't penetrate that defence to cause serious concern.
Mayweather won the fight clearly, but was criticised for being negative. Maidana accused him of 'not fighting like a man'. Mayweather hit back by saying Maidana fought a 'dirty fight'.
So it will be interesting to see Maidana's approach. He has the power and aggression, but I wonder whether he will hold back a little and wait for opportunities to open up rather than try and steam in for 12 rounds.
If he tries the same approach as last time (an approach many of Mayweather's opponents try to do) the result will be the same.

eh ?
Maidana gave Mayweather massive problems for the 1st 6 rounds because his rough house tactics allowed him to get inside and cause Floyd so many problems. He only lost the fight because he tired down the stretch
Wont happen tonight, the ring will be huge and the ref will not be as tolerant towards Maidana as the 1st one was. Mayweather shut out win over 12 rounds

He beat him once why fight him again?! Khan is better fighter than Maidana that would've been a match up.

I think the Maidana that fought Mayweather is now a better fighter than the one that fought Amir Khan.

Mayweather is slowing down (understandably) and few journos have observed he hasn't looked very up for this fight, but i still expect him to win by UD.

Yeah, 3 or 4am
I always try and stay awake rather than try and wake up for it just before it starts.
I remember the night of the Danny Williams vs Tyson fight. I was desperate to watch it. Decided to have a nap 2 hours before it started. I woke up to the words "Danny Williams has shocked the world".
Missed the whole damn fight.
