Shit 200 mil for that god damn

 

[GrizzleBoy]

For those of you who paid for it, worth it so far?

Fuck no.

Mayweathers entire style of boxing is based on ruining every actual fighting opportunity possible and just point scoring.

 

[malfcn]

How is boxing scored?
How is everyone saying May is hugging and running away...but winning?

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Gonna be a comeback like the Chung li and Ryu Fight.

 

[riskVSreward]

This is the last boxing match that will ever pull this much mainstream attention.

 

[Deosier]

I got my hug quota for the month from this...

 

[Rktk]

Knock his block off Manny.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Pac's been shown to be ineffective when he does hit Mayweather. A solid showing by Mayweather, a limp one from Pacquiao. That's just how it is. He can't get it done.

 

[akileese]

The problem with this is if we just let the fight go until someone dropped it would almost certainly be Mayweather.

No it wouldn't. His cardio is ridiculous. How do you think he's able to defend so well and look fresh in rounds 10 through 12? Manny would run out of gas and tagged if you wanted it to go that route.

 

[Kill3r7]

Manny has no chance unless he knocks him out.

MP needs to win the last 3 rounds but KO is the best way to a win.

 

[Alucard]

Pac needs a KO at this point.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

Floyd shouldn't let Manny steal rounds.

 

[Javier]

I say Round 10 is Manny's.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

ITT people who've never seen Mayweather fight until tonight

 

[King Cobra]

its safe to say that my boy money has this in the bag. Congrats!

 

[Freewheelin']

7-3 Floyd. Maybe 8-2.

 

[Speevy]

So this is pretty much the fight everyone predicted.

 

[Bloodrage]

Manny lost this. Tomorrow's gonna be fun, unlike this fight. Boring as expected.

 

[hitsugi]

Fuck no.

Well this is true.. but we knew that going in.

 

[The Elite]

That one was Manny's still not good enough.

 

[KingKong]

Are these the best announcers they could get? they are terrrrrrible holy crap

 

[jchap]

5-5 great fight

 

[Tubie]

Lennox said it best; You can't win if you can't hit.

 

[K.Sabot]

Both fighters looking surprisingly good right now.

 

[Kitschkraft]

Because he's still landing more, and more effective, punches.

I don't follow boxing, just hype.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

Was Floyd's SO with the kids?

 

[Syphon Filter]

manny better step it up, floyd expanding the gap

 

[Hieberrr]

Pac seems like he's having a good time. Not sure what to make of it.

 

[WAR recon zero]

7-3 May

People that say Manny is winning are weird

 

[Redd]

Mayweather is neutralizing Pacquiao and his technique.

 

[Portugeezer]

5 - 5 to me, maybe 6 - 4 to Floyd.

 

[King Tubby]

I give that round to Pacquiao but Mayweather is still ahead.

 

[Drifters]

Round 10 to Pac

 

[Ultimadrago]

While nice it doesn't make a winner in a fight, just a winner on points. People will be angry if Pacquio loses to points due to this because lack of fighting = winning in a fighting.

On a personal level and as a spectator, I agree, but that's simply how it is. This is Mayweather and his prime display of technical paradigm in boxing alone gives him the last dance almost every time through points.

 

[Relix]

This is a typical May fight.

 

[Porcile]

Floyd not even being troubled

Clean hits get you points. If the hit is blocked it counts for much less. I don't think there are any other factors factored in.

 

[Firelord Chargrilled]

5-5 great fight

LOLOLOLOLO

this fucking guy

 

[Violence Jack]

I think it's over. Unless Manny lands some serious shots, Floyd's got this.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

6-4

 

[belvedere]

Running = winning. Guess I still don't get boxing scoring.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Mayweather on top but

money > love = hugs

 

[helloresolven]

Through 9 rounds, Manny Pacquiao has thrown 178 punches from 65 total combos. Floyd Mayweather, on the other hand, has thrown 33 punches from 14 combos.

Money going in.

He's connecting with punches on Manny, he's avoiding manny's punches. Doesnt matter how many punches manny throws if they are being blocked or arent connecting effectively.

 

[Ronabo]

This fight sucks.

 

[Vestal]

it isn't boring as it is more about running. who wants to watch someone running and backing away 30 out of the 36 minutes of fight?

All of his fights are like this. He has hardly ever let his hands go in a fight, he is too careful which is why he is undefeated.

 

[krae_man]

So, if Manny is Pac-Man... which ghost is May weather?

He's the coin box overflowing with quarters.
