    Lmfao this idiot. Usada even said they didn't contact Nevada lol. Pac team fail to give Nevada the papers to say pac got a tear shoulder. The real truth is pac was fine before the fight which roach even said the camp went great after the so called shoulder. And funny pac had a tear in his shoulder but yet he was throwing right hooks doing the fight and pac corner especially roach didn't ask pac if his shoulder is bothering him.

    CompuBox isn't anywhere near accurate. So why even include it in arguments? It is two mother ****ers sitting at ringside with the same ****ty view of the action as the judges. They are pushing buttons. They miss punches, they make mistakes, they credit punches that don't land. Numerous video ****ysis show CompuBox to be totally fraudulent. Hopefully they discontinue it's use. It provides absolutely no benefit to the viewer as an example when it says things like fighter A landed 232 punches, when in reality fight A landed 48 or 50, or like when it claims fighter A landed 40 power shots through four rounds, when the reality was, fighter A didn't land 15 punches period through four rounds. It is really a joke.

    Might I remind you all that this was a good fight over 5 years ago. Both men were still near their primes. The WWF-esque abomination that we were shown meant nothing in boxing terms.

    Imagine two old people in a nursing home. One (Floyd) steals the other's (Pac) evening chocolate and the other chases him around with a walking stick trying to beat the living daylights out of him. That's what we got.

    Speed up the chase and add Benny Hill music and you're on a winner.

    Get over it people.

    The fight is going to generate over $600M and both guys were ranked in the top 3 P4P. The fight was late, but not too late.

    ranking aside it was too late in terms if it providing entertainment value. The fact that one of the two fighters was injured by definition means that it wasn't a peak vs peak performance, and the injury, or Floyd's speed or whatever, caused the performance by Pac to be a shadow of what we're use to.

    As for the $$ my guess if you asked how many of those who paid to watch this, including me, to raise their hand if they wanted their money back, my hand would be one of the first up.

    Too late for the (hardcore) fans, perfect timing for Mayweather (and Pacquiao) and the organizations involved.

    Arum says Pacquiao's injury dates back to 2008. So even if they would have fought in 2010, Pacquiao could have always said he was injured. As far as the action in the fight, or lack thereof, who says it would have been much different no matter when they fought? Floyd always was the smarter fighter, always had the same size advantage, and always had the superior footwork. Manny just isn't on Floyd's level. I know people invested a lot of energy into believing Pacquiao was the guy to beat Mayweather, but that just isn't the case. We still got two of the best fighters in the ring and the fight still made a ton of money. It doesnt make sense to me to say that the fight was too late.

    And your to in love with Floyd to see past this just being about Floyd and Pac. It's quite apparent that SAC don't check up on fighters in camp. A fighter can literally do anything they want during camp, and the AC only wants to know they say before a fight if a fighter had occurred an injury and what medications they may have been using or need. Again, how is 24 hours enough time to determine the severity of the injury and whether a fight should go on. Wouldn't it be better if it were mandatory for them to be noticed whenever a fighter is going to a doctor instead of the day before the fight? Let's also not mention that a fighter can be putting whatever they would like in their bodies if only the SAC is involved before a fight. But again, your love for Floyd will turn this into a Pac**** rant somehow withou you being able to admit their policies are questionable at best. For a fighter who won last weekend, his message board fans sure are butthurt.

    It does to me.

    Look it they fought 5 years ago it may very well have had a similar outcome, and I'm not really a huge fan of either fighter, but at least back then Pac might have at least gone down on his shield in an attempt to KO Floyd. He did have him along the ropes twice was peppering shots at him a few which had gotten through, and just stopped. The Pac of 5 years ago wouldn't have stopped.

    It just was a **** fight all around. Floyd did pretty much as expected but I thought Pac would have at least put more pressure on him than he did, and I don't buy the argument that those counters were thrown hard enough that Pac was scared to throw punches, it wasn't really like that. It was more Floyd establishing distance using his jab and his right to control the distance, and really that was about all that happened in that fight.
