Glad Mayweather Pac is all over. The "express" grinds to a feeble halt

I've seen thousands of threads and tens of thousands of posts on the topic. This is my first and last one and I make no apology for it. The sheer amount of 'he said/she said' tedium that this one fight has produced means it stands alone in the annals of boxing boredom.

But the good news is ...Now it is over.

Mayweather won and won comfortably. It was a dull affair in the end and did not become the battle most had hoped for. Anyone giving Pacquiao more than 3 rounds should be barred from any serious conversation about the fight. Even the rounds he won were of the 'close and non-eventful' sort.

There is no rationale for a rematch. Wasn't close, wasn't fun. If it makes Pacqiaou fans feel better then let's all agree that 'not close and not fun' pretty much sums up Mayweather fights.

However let's also agree that anyone who has spent year yammering on about Mayweather being terrified, ducking, being a coward, Manny being the super-best-ever and Mayweather being a big old fraud... anyone who has contributed to the hundreds of thousands of posts of that sort.... well, they were clearly wrong. Really clearly. This was an easy night for Mayweather and a 38 year old version of him.

Manny, who I like and in many ways hoped would win, looked a bit of a putz claiming post fight that 'i thought I won'. I suppose he is trying in a post-fight sort of haze to potentially secure a rematch by launching a pretence it was in some way close.... however I urge Pac fans not to assist in that delusion.

The topic is dead and over. The Mayweather Pac express is defunct. PPV with Mayweather will roll on one more time, this time hopefully with Khan, but I think the 'super fight' of the 2000's has done more harm than good and it'll be a while before casuals pay up for another letdown.

 

It did have a spar session vibe to it.
