    I thoroughly enjoyed this as both a Pac fan, and a Mayweather hater. No robbery. Result was close and I have no complaints. Rematch in fall.

    #Swansong fight fight for both guys. #boxing

    I didn't find it particular entertaining but there was no doubt who the better boxer is. I think Floyd beats him 10/10 to be honest.

    Because Floyd won. If Pac won, I guarantee a lot of casual would have been more than satisfied.

    It was a snooze fest like most every Mayweather fight.

    neither man looks that marked up was more a 20 mile run than a fight

    Yeah but we all thought the clash of styles would gel but sadly that wasn't the case.

    This is how you do a graceful thread, even though your guy didn't win.

    Props, Unleash. :good

    I enjoyed it.

    The only people saying it sucked are the ones who thought/wanted Mayweather to become a totally different fighter and trade with Pac in the middle of the ring.

    Mayweather fights like this. Manny had no answers.

    Where were the angles we were continually promised?

    I got exactly what I paid for from Mayweather, if there's anything to be disappointed about it's how poor Pacquaio actually is in relation to Mayweather.

    Those claiming Manny would win for the last 5 years are the reason this fight ended up happening. They promoted it. There's a beautiful irony in it.

    Manny fans created the conditions for a fight that was always a mismatch and then complain that they paid for a fight that was bad - blaming Mayweather for fighting like Mayweather and not blaming Manny for not being good enough.

    Way too much running, holding, & posing while doing nothing and very few punches landed. It looked almost more like ballroom dancing than a fight. Total ****ing ****, that made the sport look bad.

    It was a big letdown unfortunately and not very exciting at all. But I´m glad that´s out of the way. Now they can retire and hopefully boxing can be rebuilt.
