    I get your point but my question is, why aren't people blaming pacquiao? He is the one who couldn't figure out what to do. He is the one who was looking like a deer in headlights. He is the known worker who got outworked. It takes two people to fight.a runner doesn't out punch his opponent. If pacquiao was doing what is perceived as running mayweather would still know how to get to him, why couldn't Pacman figure it out. It wasn't Mayweather's fault that it was easier than expected. But with that he is still smart enough to know that pac had the ability to change the fight w one punch

    You mean movement? Getting Pac out of position or getting himself into proper position is running?

    I guess guys are supposed to have cement feet lol

    yup. they just thought of the big money and probably gambled with it for fear floyd might opt out when re-scheduled. money controls boxing and boxing at this time is being controlled by floyd's camp. there are a lot of issues on drug testing, gloves, money shares, fighters dictating rules, etc and boxing just allows it without saying anything like they have no power and authority.

    We are over it. He's not my idol. I don't give a sheet. Still doesn't change the fact that I'd rather watch free boxing that is actually entertaining rather than pay money to not be entertained. Floyd fights stink. Regardless of who is to blame, him or the opponent. I can watch Rigo outclass a boxer for free and have a greater chance of actually enjoying it.

    This is the same old Mayweather, it's nothing new. The man does what he has to do to win, if that means ducking, moving backwards or moving out of the way and countering then that's what he will do. He goes on the front foot as and when needed. Think of it like this, if you could win, make a massive amount of money and not get hurt, wouldn't you do the same? I certainly would! He even threw more and landed more throughout the fight, but people are saying he was boring or inactive.

    Stop complaining and enjoy the man while he's here. He's not "The Best Ever" but he's certainly up there with the best of our generation and what he does takes real skill and he makes it look easy.

    For the record, I wanted Pacquiao to win, but he caused this so called "Snooze Fest" and I'm genuinely disappointed in him and his Team's attitude after the fight too.

    Yea maybe they also thought they would lose out on the payday

    I think this doesn't really come down to pac or may but the fans they should of at least allowed him to get that shot for boxing

    First 2 rounds maybe. If you actually watched the fight, the 2nd half Floyd was very comfortable standing right in front of Pac's forward straight line gun shy plodding.

    Pac's PPV will tank after this too. He rode the I'm better than Mayweather train for FIVE YEARS and was outclassed. Nobody is going to pay PPV for a distant #2 in the sport. I don't even know if Pac is #2 P4P anymore, may be low top 10.

    I actually did too, but then I started rooting for Mayweather, because I became sick of that massive Pacquiao hysteria. I respect those who take it serious, I respect the smart. After the post-fight interview I totally lost all the respect to Pacquiao.

    They wanted "pain killers" DURING the fight, nothing more. They were trying to get around testing. Pac would have been literally drugged up over Floyd. Pathetic.

    They will have shoulder surgery to save face. After all, they probably had surgery on the mystery cut that wouldn't heal for months. It will likely be the same doctor.
