What's with all the boo-ing? I know Mayweather is a cocky spoiled brat but the win was justified.

He's a heel and his fighting style isn't very flashy.

I know nothing about boxing..... but I liked how Pacquiao fought better. Shame he lost.

Pacquiao could barely lay a finger on Mayweather, and Floyd kept tagging him cleanly with jabs and a hook here or there. It was just methodical. Another day at the office for Mayweather. Pacquiao was clearly frustrated. Mayweather controlled the ring and he controlled the distance.

 

[UnObtainium17]

man, way to go shit on your public image pac. Floyd dgave you credit and you just out there spitting bs and being a sore loser.

Mayweather = Guile throwing Sonic Booms 'till the time runs out

haha.

 

[HabeeNo]

Mayweather = Guile throwing Sonic Booms 'till the time runs out

LOL

 

[Mr.Sumal]

Its been dead for 40 years then. Because this was a lot better than ALI laying on the ropes all night against Foreman.

ill pay 100$ to watch that

 

[Stormhammer]

i don't think it's crazy for manny to feel he won when being in the ring doing that is going to be a whole different perspective than us watching from the outside. i can't see the interview though, who's interviewing him?

 

[G-Unit]

im done with boxing. Ill start checking UFC

 

[EmptySpace]

That was a shitty fight. Every time Pac started to get Mayweather on the defensive, he just hugged his way out of it. Bullshit.

manny wanted to fight, floyd wanted to just run around the ring all night and punch once in a while.

 

[Kill3r7]

Its been dead for 40 years then. Because this was a lot better than ALI laying on the ropes all night against Foreman.

I take it you are not a boxing fan because there were plenty of great fights in the 80s and 90s.

 

[Ventara]

Maybe this is the reason he was smiling the whole fight? He thought he was winning?

 

[rrc1594]

Pac should have worn a dress and put on some lipstick. Then Floyd would have stood toe to toe and threw down.

Damn!

 

[juicyfruitas]

damn that mayweather after party gonna be off the hooooooooooook

 

[theignoramus]

I don't ask for permission to give my opinion.

Mayweather is a disgrace of a " boxer " and has been for the last 5+ years. He fights people when they are washed up or out of their prime. He runs the whole fight and nearly ducks till his head is on the floor.

He is an Ali wannabe without the heart or power or flare. He is fast and that is it. Which is why he hasn't been able to even knock anyone out for what 6 years? Unless that person has their hands at their sides lol. Hell when is the last time he even knocked someone down?

Boxing is dead and For good reason. Hoisting up people like Mayweather

Floyd should do less of what he's amazing at and stand at and get hit? Its up to the other fighter to actually hit him. Pacman got some good shots in, but Floyd outboxed him.

 

[Lazyslob]

that interviewer stinks no one asked for your opinion you dipshit.

boxing stinks. im glad this miserable sport is dying

 

[dem]

Tune in to Aldo vs McGregor in July... Will be much more exciting than this was.

Everyone knew what tonight was going to look like. Shame it wasn't more.

 

[Obliterator]

Everything after Round 5 was a snoozefest.

 

[Kusagari]

Manny's sour grapes is hilarious.

The dude was far more docile than anyone expected, especially in the beginning rounds. Maybe the dude should take his own advice and actually attack more.

 

[UrokeJoe]

Excuse out the ass. Pac was the faster guy. He couldn't cut off the ring and lost.

He was bringing it, but couldn't close. Just like you say..

 

[trixx]

Sooo

Game 7 > Derby > Fight?

100%. Great game between Spurs and Clippers. That was the true match of the day

 

[Takamura-San]

So this was a timer scam?...

 

[Hunter S.]

This convinced me again that I am not a boxing fan.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Spurs lost

Floyd won

First Take is going to be live as fuck on Monday. You already know Skip's feeling some type of way

 

[Darknight34]

That was a shitty fight. Every time Pac started to get Mayweather on the defensive, he just hugged his way out of it. Bullshit.

Ya it's legit, but just not fun to watch.

 

[NinjaBoyLao]

Did people expected a DBZ fight tonight?

Honestly I didn't. But casual boxing fans and I'm guessing the majority of people who paid good money for this are not entertained especially considering the amount of hype build up.

It's hard to be excited or even spend money on a fight as "technical" as this.

 

[akileese]

Excuse out the ass. Pac was the faster guy. He couldn't cut off the ring and lost.

Pac is in no way, shape, or form faster than Floyd. He might have been 5 or 6 years ago but not now. In fact, Floyd kept cutting himself off intentionally just to easily get away from him.

 

[smurfx]

This is why boxing is dying. That was most boring 3 hours I have ever witnessed and people got fooled into paying 100 dollars for it.

lol i love casual boxing fans complaining about mayweather after every fight. i look forward to seeing the same reactions for mayweathers next match.

 

[Frog-fu]

The amount of crow to be servered can feed a whole country.

It's gonna be so much fun going through Youtube videos now.

I don't like Mayweather as a person, but his skill as a boxer cannot be underestimated.

 

[Tripon]

He didn't fight better, he LOOKED like a boxer when people think of a boxer. None of his punches were connecting. It's like saying a basketball team that throws airballs deserves to win because they took more shots.

More like a basketball team should win because they are getting way more rebounds.

 

[Ether_Snake]

I'm guessing the next fight is against Khan. Who else could Floyd fight in his last fight?

 

[TimeEffect]

...So who's the next big thing in boxing?

Im going back to playing Rocket League

 

[TraBuch]

I miss 80s middleweight boxing.

BRING BACK HEARNS, HAGLER, DURAN AND LEONARD!

 

[Mr. Pointy]

It was inevitable that Money would win on points. Manny needed to get the KO and it didn't happen.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Didn't you also drop $2000 on Manny?

At this point I'd rather have the time I wasted watching this back. At least UFC is exciting and interesting. This was about slightly more exciting than watching people play an intense match of checkers.

 

[d34thfrom4bov3]

So was the interview Pac trying to set up the rematch for Summerslam? Book it Vince.

 

[paolo11]

Floyd gave credit to Pacman in the interview. Pacman did not. Not cool for Pacman.

Floyd is the best ever. Get that 49-0.

 

[Chamber]

So what did Manny say?

I would've won if he stood still.

.

 

[NYR]

Whatever, League of Legends will become bigger than this soon anyways.

I imagined your keyboard and fingers covered in cheetos dust as you typed this.

 

[santi_yo]

Dat points difference. Judges getting extra paid :3

 

[SlickVic]

I don't follow boxing, but just want to say I love that Ippo was an option in the poll.

[neto]

I wonder how boring would the fight be if mayweather fighted himself or someone with the exact same fighting style

 

[DJwest]

Mayweather won like 1 round. 3 at best. Wtf are they smoking? Fucking bought judges. He has done practically NOTHING most of the time.

Go to sleep.

 

[TheLaughingStock]

Now he can cover the camera lens. $ Mayweather indeed

 

[RELIGHT]

I do love Manny saying it wasn't a fight. It's gotta feel so lame to fight Mayweather. He totally lost, don't get me wrong, but it would feel like you never got a legit shot after that kind of fight.

It's called technique. "Waaah! All he did was try to avoid my punches!"

Always hated that argument

 

[v1lla21]

Well I won $240 so that's cool. My heart was with Pac but my mind knew it was Money from the beginning.

 

[Iadien]

Shit and this is the biggest boxing fight of the last decade? Lmao boxing is dead

I know. I must be missing something, because that was boring as hell.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

More like a basketball team should win because they are getting way more rebounds.

Well if they are scoring when they rebound, yes they will win.. Like?

 

[The_Joker]

 

[Epsilon-delta]

Kellerman trying to get a rise out of Manny.

Kellerman has always been a dick and his bias shows through at all times.

 

[King326]

Let me guess, it's $80 down for the PPV to watch Pac get outboxed. I'm good.

Quote from page 1, back in February. So true.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I've seen better fights on worldstar

 

[Ambient80]

I guess this is what was expected by core boxing fans, but man it feels like this just killed boxing even more for casual fans. Imagine being a casual fan (like me) and paying $100 for that. I know I would have felt incredibly ripped off, even if it went as most experts/core fans expected.

If for some reason there is a rematch, which I imagine Floyd has zero reason to do, I can't imagine anyone would care to buy it.
