We spoke to reps for Marvel who tell us despite the fact that "Avengers: Age Of Ultron" is slated to open on May 1st -- the same weekend as Mayweather vs. Pacquiao -- there are ZERO plans to push the release.
It's an interesting dilemma for Marvel ... do you really want your big blockbuster going up against a global event that's expected to rake in more than $300 million?? Especially on its 1st Saturday?

I will watch that also..

George Oscar Bluth II · Feb 21, 2015

I'm watching Avengers AoU April 23rd. Maybe even earlier if I'm lucky.

guek · Feb 21, 2015

NipplesAndToes23 · Feb 21, 2015

The fight. Avengers will still be in theaters months after that day.

Not · Feb 21, 2015

Avengers. I couldn't care less about UFC

Jhriad · Feb 21, 2015

Practically no one watches boxing matches anymore regardless of the names attached.

Dishwalla · Feb 21, 2015

That's my bday!

I'll be driving across country though, so likely neither.

John Kowalski · Feb 21, 2015

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao is that like a ufc fight or something?

Nor Boxing apparently

StoopKid · Feb 21, 2015

I'll probably see avengers on that Friday hopefully.

Delta Assault · Feb 21, 2015

Seems like it's easy to schedule. Watch AoU on the 1st, then watch the fight on the 2nd.

Guzim · Feb 21, 2015

I didn't realize this was an issue. Age of Ultron's opening weekend will not be impacted by the fight at all.

questionmark · Feb 21, 2015

Boxing is boring.

rexor0717 · Feb 21, 2015

Watching that fight never even crossed my mind. Avengers...twice.

Rogue_Ledr · Feb 21, 2015

Avengers!

If this was like 5-6 years ago, I would side with the fight.

Entropia · Feb 21, 2015

People can do multiple things on a weekend!

I don't care about the fight. And I'm not sure I'll even go see the Avengers it's first week.

Mass_Pincup · Feb 21, 2015

Avengers of course, couldn't care less about a boxing fight.

SJRB · Feb 21, 2015

a global event that's expected to rake in more than $300 million

...what? I have no idea what that's even about.

EchoChamber · Feb 21, 2015

the fight because i will watch avengers before may 2nd.

Anth0ny · Feb 21, 2015

I will not watch Avengers that Saturday night.

I'll be watching it the at the Thursday 8PM screening.

Doesn't really have to be an either/or.

RBH · Feb 21, 2015

Um, why exactly is this positioned as an either/or situation?

Future PhaZe · Feb 21, 2015

Uh...avengers in the afternoon and the fight at night?

Brian Fellows · Feb 21, 2015

I might see the Avengers that weekend but not on the 2nd and I definitely won't be wasting my money on a boring boxing PPV.

Mr.Swag · Feb 21, 2015

Have to watch the fight live.
Movie can be watched any day.

RELIGHT · Feb 21, 2015

There is only one answer to this

TheAbsolution · Feb 21, 2015

Why is this an either/or question?

Byakuya769 · Feb 21, 2015

Wait, how many rounds are they going to fight!?! Is this a new format where they have to fight until a knockout?

Az · Feb 21, 2015

Hero Prinny · Feb 21, 2015

neither, I'll go watch the avengers a week or so later when the theaters won't be so packed + I don't care for boxing.

TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared · Feb 21, 2015

Avengers duh.

DrForester · Feb 21, 2015

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao

This kills the Boxer.

lmfao

Surface of Me · Feb 21, 2015

Lol at people thinking Marvel would push The Mofuckin Avengers cause some dudes are gonna punch each other.

RangerX · Feb 21, 2015

I'll be watching Avengers at the end of April. Ireland gets it before the US? Thats odd.

This gif got an upgrade!

Divvy · Feb 21, 2015

As if I would skip the Avengers to watch two guys punch each other

impact · Feb 21, 2015

Neither

Avengers will "win" though. Boxing is so dead.

Bobby Roberts · Feb 21, 2015

There is almost zero possibility of that fight being anywhere near as satisfying on an entertainment or an aesthetic level as the Avengers movie.

It's not even fucking close.

illmatic22 · Feb 21, 2015

Both. I'll watch Avengers thursday night.

GK86 · Feb 21, 2015

Neither.

J10 · Feb 21, 2015

I think The Avengers is somehow less likely to be fixed.

Rhomega Beta · Feb 21, 2015

I don't care about UFC, so Avengers, and probably not even that day.

Baron von Loathsome · Feb 21, 2015

DrForester said:

Pretty much. I'm a little hesitant about Age of Ultron, but at least I know what it is.

hamchan · Feb 21, 2015

Why would Marvel be afraid of some fight that I haven't even heard of before this thread?

Choomp · Feb 21, 2015

Neither but if I had to choose Avengers cause I don't care about UFC

GCQuinton · Feb 21, 2015

Avengers on the first, the fight on the 2nd. Won't be a problem at all.
