    The fight was completely horrible. We understand that boxing is a very dangerous sport, but ffs Floyd didn't take one chance in 12 rounds for 100$ ppv. Sure fans that bought the fight are going to be ****ed off and feel that had been duped.

    It was mostly running, with sporadic pitty pat point scoring punches. I think Floyd maybe threw 2 or 3 punches at the start of one of the later rounds that actually had bad intentions and that's it for the entire fight.
    Floyd was so negative as a fighter, it almost didn't even resemble a fight. Neither man had a scratch on them.

    Here is some comments from the news article I am looking at.

    "They should build statue of Mayweather standing over the grave of boxing. This was boxings last huge fight, an opportunity to get people interested again and all he did was make a boatload of money running like a #$%$ the whole fight.

    "At least he's retiring soon and I'll never have to watch that nutless #$%$ run for 12 rounds again. If you think Mayweather is a good fighter look him and all his challengers after every fight. Neither one has a mark on their face."

    "This is the "fight of the century?" Hard to believe that millions paid $100 to watch this. Thankfully it's over. Maybe now we can get back to more important things like watching paint dry."

    "Did they even hit each other? Was it a slap fight? Knew it would be a decision."

    "Mayweather was a coward. He stayed away from Pacman and held him every chance he had. He won by points. This was one of the most boring fights I have seen in my 64 years I have been alive. What a waste of time and money. Mayweather you are boring."

    "What a boring garbage performance. They took hundreds of millions of dollars to dance around like two ballerinas. I want my money back. If anyone ever pays another dollar to see a Maywaether fight (after he duped us all) they have to be #$%$."

    "Someone please tell Mayweather he has it all wrong. He's supposed to fight in the ring and hug at home, not the opposite."

    "So this is what boxing is now? I haven't watched a fight in years and it appears I am not missing much."

    "It was Olympic boxing, not professional boxing. Floyd won because he touched Manny more. None of those were real hard punches or visibly noticeable."

    "Historic bout?? This fight was the same garbage we've seen in jsut about every pro boxing match in the last 15-20 years. Mayweather dancing around .. Very little fighting going on... Boxing is the biggest fraud in America."

    "Is this boxing at its finest? ... or shall we say hugging, clinching, running ..and protecting self at all times..hahahaha what a joke? it does not live up to fans expectations of an epic fight... boooooooriiiiiiiiiiing.."

    "The Fight of the Century!?!? Ha, it was, “The running Marathon of the Century” as well as, “The least amount of Punches thrown in the Century”

    "Someone told the judges that they were working a track meet, for sure Mayweather won by a mile."


    Etc,etc, etc, most people was ripped off, disgusted and was bored to hell.

    God damn it even cage fight fans are laughing at us and they are guys who put their b@lls in each others faces. 100 % of the comments are negative.

    http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/St...er-Dominates-Manny-Pacquaio-to-Decision-85605

    "Snore fest. This is why boxing is dead."

    "I've seen better fights at a daycare"

    "hahaHAHAAHHAHAH people actually paid $100 ppv for this fight and thousands of dollars per seat.. baahHAHAHAHHH"

    "This "fight" (I use that term loosely) was terrible for boxing. Millions of non-boxing fans were watching, ready to be converted into boxing fans, but were instead bored to tears by Mayweather's refusal to engage and constant running and holding. A great opportunity missed."

    "It was not a fight, not a mark on either boxer, boxing is not dead, but this is a nail in the coffin for sure. it's just fraudulent to call them fights and to charge so much money. it was not entertaining no Mayweather boxing match is entertaining."

    "If escape and run makes a champion, put me in the cage with Cain Velasquez. I'll get his belt, cause i'll run all the time!!"

    "To call this a fight was insulting to fights, Myweather out-boxed Pacquaio I'm told so if that's boxing and the best boxer in the world i think I'll stick to MMA where a fight for the most part is a fight."

    "Boxing is dead because it's not what it use to be. I myself dozed off about 7 times but I still watched the fight... because it was the "biggest fight of boxing history" lol."



    I wanted for the MMA to be impressed and then this happens! son of a ***** ! :pc

    Pacquaio was a disgrace, we all knew what Floyd was going to do. Pacquaio showed no fire, and no fortitude, he got tired of eating right hands. Only guy who has a chance against Floyd is Thurman.

    :deal my thoughts exactly. I like both fighters for different reasons.

    Mayweather impressed the hell out of me though. Owned it..period. It was Manny's job to bring it and he failed.

    Forgettable fight.

    Both fighters respected each other far too much as well.

    Him saying he's "bored" with the sport and doesn't have the "passion" anymore. He was practically telling everyone what was going to happen. People thought he was making excuses in case he lost..no. He does enough to win and that's it. His doing just enough schooled Pac though.

    Yeah, we all lost a chance to watch a great fight, but Manny just did not bring it.

    The Pair of them should be ashamed of themselves for serving up nothing more than a glorified sparring session, and mugging people off for the money they paid to watch it. If they had any dignity they should give a percentage of their purse/millions to charity/boxing academies or old fighters fund, lost respect for these two and hope they both retire before they do anymore damage to the sport.
