Didn“t really care about who won but the lack of effort from pacquiao and the safety first approach from Floyd made this one of the most anticlimatic fights in history. And yes it hurt boxing. Boxing needs a makeover.
What hurt the sport was people making casual fans believe that a smaller fighter with a reach, and height disadvantage could be a fighter with one of the best defensive styles ever. Casual fans took that to heart, and they were misled
definitely hurt boxing. Not enough hardcore boxing fans to keep the sport alive. Boxing need casual fans.
