    A very vague reference from page 6 of the Post.

    Make up your mind, abuffy. Was it 'easy work' for Floyd or was it 7-5? 7-5 is a nail biter, not easy work.

    The reason Maidana was easy to hype for a rematch was because he put up a spirited performance and troubled Mayweather at times, even made him look very uncomfortable. Troubled him enough that some casuals thought he deserved to win (he did not). Pac obviously doesn't need to be hyped even after being thoroughly outclassed on May 2nd and casuals will tune in and boxing fans will cry and this forum will descend into the pits of hell once more.

    Is it really a masterful performance for Floyd for you.? I have him won that fight but not so dominating as many of you envisions it.

    Why? The first fight wasn't super exciting and it wasn't close

    Saying "easy work" was for the perspective of Floyd. He thought the fight was easy for him.

    For me, 116-112 or 115-113 at a push.

    But Mayweather will win again. Maybe tougher due to Pacquiao selling out and truly having "both arms", maybe easier since he's coming back from surgery. A win regardless and I don't really care. I just want to be there, at one of their fights before they retire. Considering this rematch will most likely be their last fight (unless Pacquiao wins), it's my last opportunity to see them both fight for the first time in person.


    Lol, this is so true it hurts

    I'll bite and say yes, it was masterful, in the sense that Floyd totally neutralized Pac's volume and offense through footwork, smarts, and timing. Wasn't especially fun to watch, but nobody had ever neutralized Pac like that before that I've seen.

    They don't care if they bored you out of your minds- or at least Mayweather. Like he said, "You guys keep saying it's boring, say it's too expensive, yet I raise it to 80$, and you are still buying it."

    The sport to him isn't about pleasing you or us. It's a business and it's about making money.

    How do you explain Floyd bailing on the Oscar rematch?

    In any case, hopefully any potential rematch gets derailed by one thing or another, be it career-ending injury, ego, retirement, or whatever. Boxing would be better off not seeing another greedy cash grab from a bunch of degenerates like May, Pac, and the low lives they each have surrounding them.

    I agree, though I do give Pacquiao a slight benefit of the doubt and will say part of his offense was affected from the injury.

    If we end up seeing in the rematch that he was blowing smoke then I'll gladly admit I was wrong.

    Will you? Because no matter what, Pac's well past his best, has slow feet, will never be 100% again, and even if his shoulder heals, who's to say his ankle won't give out? Or his bicep? Or...

    He's an aging past prime fighter. Injuries happen.

    What will it take for you to REALLY admit you were wrong?

    He's different now. You all should know that. Back then, he was driven by passion and ego. Now, he is solely driven by money. He himself admits that.

    Wrong about what? My prediction was right. What was wrong was my expectation. Every bet a made, every family, friend who asked, I picked Mayweather. Come on. I was back and forth on my prediction, but in the finals weeks, I chose Mayweather because at the end of the day, he always finds a way to win and Roach's game-plan sounded stupid to me. I'm fine to admit I was wrong with what I expected. Pacquiao put on a horrible performance. I thought he'd do better, be better.

    Mayweather made him look bad, but there was something more. An injury fits that narrative, but I still want to see a rematch to be certain. I don't entertain fighter's blowing smoke.
