Mike and Tony will actually be on hand for the event, but before they left for Vegas we caught up with them to get their predictions, as well as other members of the show.
Take a look at their predictions and then vote in the poll below:
Name: Mike Felger, Afternoon Drive Host
Who Will Win: Floyd Mayweather
How Many Rounds: Distance
Why: "I'm rooting for Manny Pacquiao to knock [Mayweather's] block off because I think that would be the more entertaining fight, and I want to reward fighters who actually want to fight, who actually want to punch and take punches and all that. I think Mayweather just wants to stay on the outside and get a decision, which is boring and not what the sport needs. So I'm rooting for Pacquiao to knock him out, but I fear Mayweather is going to win a boring decision."
Name: Tony Massarotti, Afternoon Drive Host
Who Will Win: Floyd Mayweather
How Many Rounds: Distance
Why: "My heart in this fight is with Pacquiao. I admit I'm a provincial New Englander and provincial Bostonian, so part of me feels like I don't ever want to see Rocky Marciano's 49-0 record go down. Mayweather is 47-0 at the moment, so I don't want to see him be the guy that gets to 50-0, which nobody has ever done. I'm totally rooting for Pacquiao, but I also think there's a reason why Mayweather is 47-0. I just think Mayweather is so skilled and is such a tactician that he's extremely difficult, obviously, to beat. Ultimately I think Mayweather is going to win the fight in a decision. It would not surprise me if this thing were a split decision, and it was really close in favor of Mayweather so there's impetus to have a rematch."
Name: Billy Lanni, Director Of Communications
Who Will Win: Manny Pacquiao
How Many Rounds: 8
Why: "I think Pacquiao will get a knockout in the eighth round because he's going to find an opening and take advantage of it."
Name: Big Jim Murray, Headlines
Who Will Win: Draw
How Many Rounds: Distance
Why: "I think it's going to be a draw and not worth the $100. But I'll buy it anyway because I'm a sucker and I'll feel like I'm missing out, and you can't have [fear of missing out]."
