We pacfans dont get nervous. Pac has been beaten and kod before. We wanted this fight years ago.
Pac is no walk in the park for floyd.

Show me one legitimate, serious thread merged since the announcement.

One.

I know everybody is excited but there didn't need to be twenty new threads made in the span of an hour on the subject. That's excessive, and is exactly what this merge thread was made to curtail - talk of this fight drowning out all other boxing talk by spamming up the board.

None of the merged twenty or so threads have been any great loss, if you take a look. None were serious threads of any quality. They were stream of consciousness knee-jerk reactions that didn't really need to be unique threads. Look at some of the damn titles. Is the forum worse off for having all that silliness all swept together in one dustpan?

Moved: Can't believe there's no threads, but, May v Pac is now signed!
Moved: Will Oscar move or will he have the gut to head2head with Floyd
Moved: How can we contact the owners of this website?
Moved: The Official Mayweather - Pacquaio Prediction thread. (cuchulain's 1st attempt - no end date was set on poll)
Moved: Mayweather vs. Pacquiao is official.
Moved: Those say it's 5 years late..will still watch!!!
Moved: 60-40 split for Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao
Moved: Manny Pacquiao fans Unite
Moved: Dan Rafeal- weight limit 147, NO rematch clause, any gloves premitted!!
Moved: Years too late.
Moved: seriously...why the hype now ?
Moved: If Floyd dont KO pac, he might get robbed!!
Moved: Fight Announced: The GHOST of Margarito is Laughin!!!
Moved: Dear Mayweather fans.
Moved: Mayweather vs pac is on for may 2
Moved: Mayweather/Pacquiao amnesty thread
Moved: Manny pacquaio's destiny is beckoning
Moved: So the rumors were true?????????? Holy ****!!!!!!!!
Moved: Go download shots now!!

Seriously, I'd love to hear anyone defend any of those as the jumping-off point to a meaningful, productive dialogue.

Any thread with profanity or childish name-calling as part of its title, or ban-bet threads, or gloating "I told you so" threads, or ad hominem threads about fan groups - those are garbage. Threads like those get deleted (not even merged, but deleted) as matter of course no matter the subject. It has nothing to do with Pacquiao & Mayweather. Those all happen to just be trolling & garbage threads made impulsively but that don't really need to exist, much less clog up the entire 1st page of the forum. Not every thread idea is a good idea. This isn't a chatroom. This isn't Twitter. Not the place to just make a thread with the first thought popping into your mind, as though it were your personal diary. Overt redundancy, on any type of forum, on any subject, is considered spam and dealt with accordingly. People complaining about the spam in the aftermath of the announcement being merged, STFU. It's just spam.

You'll notice this one hasn't been merged, for good reason:

http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=529475

...because it has a purpose. An official prediction & poll thread makes sense. One. Not an endless deluge of them, but one. cuchulain was the first to make one, so his is official.

Real threads like that (except not that exact one, no more prediction/poll threads, because there needn't be more than one) - for instance, technical analysis threads like Bogotazo used to make, or any other legitimate thread with a constructive purpose that isn't trolling garbage (hint: anything with multiple exclamation points or cursing as part of its title is probably going to be considered garbage) - will be left alone, with the fight now official.

Worthless trolling/spamming nonsense flooding up the board will still be 86ed as it would be anyway regardless of topic. I never promised they wouldn't.

Thats fair enough but the problem with the merging is it stops any kind of flow of discussion in this thread. Often i've posted comments in this thread just to have them drowned in a sea of endless ****.

Make a dump thread and leave this one for discussion only atleast.

Again, which of those listed above was really worth saving?

I left cuchulain's alone. I'll leave any legit serious thread alone, just like I promised I would now that an official announcement has been made.

All of those up there? ^ Pure junk, and everybody knows it.

TheDarkLord · Feb 20, 2015

TheDarkLord · Feb 20, 2015

Floyd fans are worried right now. If not, they should be.

Enigmadanks · Feb 20, 2015

dam the darklord is making a thread about what the grim reaper of predictions is predicting for this fight. You can't make this stuff up!

The Masked Man · Feb 20, 2015

I can't wait to see what they say on Friday night fights. Especially if they ask Teddy Atlas who does he think will win, lol

Lady Girl · Feb 20, 2015

Not one was worth saving. I agree. But now that the fights been announced dump the **** elsewhere and keep this pinned.

What i meant is i often have posted in this thread only for a merge to happen and knock my post back 10 pages instantly. It prevents flow and discussion imo.

Your doing a good job though IB.:|
