    Was it the whole 'hurt shoulder' thing?

    I actually enjoyed their fight, but as I recall most 'experts' and 'pundits' claimed it to be a huge disappointment.

    So why so much demand for a rematch?

    On the grounds that Floyd needs another solid gold Lamborghini.

    Deserve doesn't have anything to do with it. Floyd is not looking to take on the best to improve his legacy, he's looking to make money.

    This will not happen as Floppy Floyd is still DUCKING.
    Floppy Floyd is Irrelevant in Boxing than he is in Circus dancing and Shamming Exhibitions.
    End of Thread.

    Floyd want the fight in a 10 rounds to 2 rounds type of way. Manny ain't winning a rematch with 3 shoulders and 6 arms.

    None the fight wasn't close. PBF never even got out of 1st gear. Easy fight for PBF. Pac needs to rematch Horn in Australia if he wants a payday.

    I had it 9-3 Mayweather
    But I'll watch a rematch.

    If the fight happens I'll be tuning in (millions of ppl will tune in)

    If Mayweather is unretired, it's a great money. If not whatever.

    It'd be cool in Sept. If we got Canelo-GGG III , May-Pac II & Wilder-aj Lol it's too good to be true tho

    First fight was 10-2.

    Pacquiao ripped everyone off coming into that fight injured.

    As soon as i saw him at his highest weight ever (152lbs) on the unofficial scale and then could see him being doughier than ever in the ring.... knew immediately that something was very wrong. Should have known something was up when reports of Roach calling off lots of sparring in camp and NOT allowing Pac on the heavy bag....

    Anyways they went ahead anyways and the fight was one of the worst i've ever seen.

    Watching 36yr old Pac fight 38yr old Floyd was already dumber than hell. 40's makes even less sense.

    I don't care about Pac and Floyd for a long time now, and I wish they would just leave the sport.
    But that said, Pac would certainly deserve a rematch because his opponent was either doped up and was caught masking, or had dehydrated himself close to death to make the weight and then used an illegal IV to rehydrate himself.
    In either way he also broke contract because it was in there that they had to disclose any irregularity to the other camp directly and before the fight.

    No matter how the fight went, you can't say Pac didn't deserve a rematch on those grounds alone.
    I wouldn't want to see it though.
    Actually, I haven't even seen the entire fight yet, and not planning to do so either.

    Floyd was caught doping whilst spouting all that usada bs who was in his pocket all along.

    Floyd was allowed to inject zylocaine all he wanted to his hands but Pac couldn’t inject pain killer on his shoulders.

    Floyd grabbed and ran and given that he grabbed more than khan did against Peterson, he shouldn’t have gotten away with that.

    I want a ref that will penalise for clinching since its illegal.

    Floyd ran for 12 rounds and landed 2 punches per round.

    Its not a fight I want to see again.

    Floyd was 150 thirty days out and exhibited zero signs of being dehydrated and drained at the weigh in. Dude was roided to the gills.

    :deal:
