Look how uninterested the crowd was for the majority of that fight. I can't remember the last time I saw something like that. The most anyone cheered or get out of their seats was during the walk outs.

how about like, every other mayweather fight ever

 

[theignoramus]

I guess people were expecting Pac to come in and level Mayweather but instead they got the average Mayweather fight for way more than the usual price.

LOL so true. This fight was vintage Mayweather. Pacman landing a couple or three big shots had them hopeful but Floyd carried on, business as usual. Do we have a gif yet of that Pacman flurry followed by Floyd shaking his head at him and saying "nope"?

 

[Subpar Spatula]

Actually, no, I learn it in every Floyd fight, which are the only ones "the general public" watch anyway. Then they complain boxing is boring.

So their loss, not ours.

To be fair, I haven't heard of any Floyd fight other than this one. Never even heard anyone speak about them. I don't think they're as popular as you think (I'm in Canada).

 

[RellyRell28]

This ESPN segment is better than the fight

Flores salty as fuck lol

 

[Obliterator]

Wrong sport bro.

I watch all combat sports. Boxing, Glory Kickboxing, MMA, competition BJJ, Wresting Division 1 finals, Sambo, Judo, you name it.

I like fighters that bring shit and are offensive. I enjoy people that look at it as a FIGHT not a MATCH.

Just my opinion. I'm not trying to take anything away from Floyd. He fought that fight exactly how he should have. I just give more respect to someone who puts themselves at risk to bring an entertaining fight and bust up there opponents.

 

[illmatic22]

Destroyed? No, he out-pointed Pac though.

A boxer destroying another boxer is what BHops did to Trinidad: Beat him for 12 rounds and proceeded to knock him out in the 12th.

Sup hucast, man was Floyd shook loooool

Domination.

 

[Nibel]

Great analysis here


Much salt

Great post here


Much expert

I didn't mean the fight was shit because of who was winning, but because it was boring in every way

 

[Ether_Snake]

That was my first boxing PPV in 4-5 years. That wasn't worth 100. Not enough excitement. I'm not denying Floyd won but there's no danger or excitement. You're never on the edge of your seat because sometimes is hurt and trying to fight back. That's not Floyd's style and not worth 100 again.

Blame Pac for playing to Floyd's strength. What is Floyd supposed to do, take unnecessary risks? This is a fight, there's no giveaways.

 

[Alienous]

There was more forehead touching and hugging in this than a Naruto anime.

 

[Dynomutt]

no one is making "boxing money" except for like 3 guys in boxing.

Exactly that's why there are no knockouts they need longevity! Mayweather, Pacquiao, and Klitschko. If they don;t box the sport is dead. Imagine if teh top three scorers in any sports over the last few years was gone.

 

[soundahfekz]

are you guys real boxing fans

There's a major influx of mortons employees right now, real boxing fans or not

 

[ponpo]

Bieber and Triple H pulling the strings.

 

[blackaroni]

Flores salty as fuck lol

He really is and it's hilarious.

 

[Radec]

lol @ the "casuals" talk.

the guy who brought that up in the boxing thread is still banned.

 

[GamerSoul]

Flores salty as fuck lol

Seriously, lmao. I thought S.A. Smith was about to tell him calm down.

 

[Josh5890]

This ESPN segment is better than the fight

They are getting into it.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

you guys should have just gave me $100 and read about the fight on neogaf

 

[Tripon]

Who the fuck loves clenching?

 

[Draconian]

Flores salty as fuck lol

Pretty much. I can't stand him normally, but he was especially annoying just now.

 

[Vidpixel]

So, according to everyone who watched this, boxing still is, in fact, just boxing, not some epic Rocky-esque constant face punching extravaganza? Who knew.

 

[Pop]

usual casual.

Maybe he needed to hug some more.

 

[Zoolader]

I am the realest boxing fan!!!!!!!!!

 

[Xplatformer]

People mad.


You guys want to be pissed, be pissed at Roy Jones Jr. for having a glass chin. He was a defensive fighter with POWER which Mayweather doesn't possess. For a time, Roy was a good pound for pound.

Oh well... time for me to forget about both these fighters.

 

[theignoramus]

are you guys real boxing fans

To be fair, De La Hoya tweeted out an apology for this match. I guess he thinks it wasnt very entertaining.

 

[gcubed]

Who the fuck loves clenching?

Real fans

 

[Sifl]

Maybe he needed to hug some more.

Which is why he out punched him, cause all he did was hug.

 

[woolley]

That's how Mayweather fights and everyone knew that going in, I don't understand why people are upset that he fought how he always fights. He hits and doesn't get hit. If people want to get mad they should get mad at Manny for not being aggressive enough.

I have followed UFC for at least 6 years.

Stealth edit, aww.

 

[illmatic22]

Welp, im out. See ya boxing casuals, im saddened to see you swear off boxing forever.


See you when Floyd fights in September

 

[Omega Kirby]

Golf has more action, true or false?

Anyways I'm out. This was boxing's last chance to grip me and it failed spectacularly.

Back to entertaining sports untill the next overhyped "fight of the century"

During the 80s boxing had wars all the fucking time

 

[Syphon Filter]

kleenex or puffs?

 

[Zoolader]

THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!

 

[Jest Chillin]

I get the salt in here, but people calling people "casuals" is groan-worthy.

Agreed. Reminiscent of video game enthusiasts throwing that same term around in a derogatory way.

It's especially foul from people who talk about how much money was earned in the fight with one hand and then shitting on the people who spent that money with the other.

 

[Ke0]

When he gave his post win interview, I just knew he was going to thank god first and foremost, I had the biggest grin on my face.

 

[Fox318]

Gamalier Rodriguez did nothing but take punches in his face tonight.

 

[Maxim726X]

That was a good boxing match.

Guess people wanted to see a street fight.

Wrong sport. Back to MMA you go.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

Sup hucast, man was Floyd shook loooool

Yo, I thought you weren't a fan of Floyd? Yes, he looked shook but he won anyways.

Were you pretending to be neutral but a Floyd stan all along?

Just come out and say it young buck.

 

[webkatt]

Welp, I must be a casual.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Cringed hard at Mannys post interview. I like you fine, dude but come on. You weren't robbed, you lost.

Bieber and Triple H pulling the strings.

Huglluminati

 

[Kiyo]

That's great. This isn't the 80s. We're 3 decades past that and styles have changed.

 

[Frog-fu]

The haters are brilliant. It's just so funny to see them lose their shit because Mayweather soundly outboxed and outclassed Pacquiao.

 

[harSon]

Mayweather used to have power though. He's just 38 years old, going on 39 - and he's got brittle hands.

 

[paolo11]

Guys, Money May showed amazing fundamentals with sheer accuracy. He is the best fighter in this generation.

 

[number11]

Floyd is obviously the best around.. But people aren't allowed to call him boring (which he obviously is)?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Everybody knows real fans of baseball appreciate the majesty of bunting and who could avoid getting aroused at the amazing tactics of walking a hitter. Only the puritans can appreciate it, not filthy casuals looking for home runs.

That's what you guys sound like right now.

 

[Godslay]

Nah slay. yoire a casual I'm not.

I'm setting the bar at $.

Meaning everyone in here is a amateur boxing fan aka casual.

Same thing as a hobbyists versus a professional.

Anyways this casual is going to bed.
