The real winner of this fight? Dana White.
Boxing no longer has the super fight pull, and the "fight of the century" was made to be a laughing stock thanks to Floyd reducing it to a hug n run bout.
Boxing lost a lot of casual fans.

glad I didn't watch it and glad it's over. Couldn't watch one Bundesliga match without the commentators talking about it every 10 minutes.
Mayweather is such a boring boxer. Watching at 6 in the morning, damn, also had a hard time finding a good stream.

Maybe the most expensive exhibition match ever??? I have seem training sessions more aggresive than this... and this pic is wrong... Mayweather were usually clunching with pacquiao besides his armpit, and giving cheap shots.

The gameplan was to claim you won and hope for a rematch to get another payday after getting countered with straight rights and left hooks all night long. |
I hope there won't be any rematch. That would just permanently kill Boxing altogether.

This is the first match of boxe I have watched since Acelino Popó Freitas reigned in the late 90's early 00's... and before that I stopped watching after Tyson vs Hollifield rematch... maybe I'll watch more if the Esquiva brothers go pro and rise the ranks... I'll stick to UFC matches even though I don't like the ground part much, but here we don't get the K1 or Prix style on TV.

You mean the guy who threw more punches and landed a higher percentage? I know, right, it was mean of him not to let the other guy hit him.
Seriously, though--and please pardon my french--but fuck the casual fan. I'm sick of the "moar offense" whining we get in every single fucking sport just because they can't understand defensive skill.
Many of them seem to be idiots, if you think about it. I mean, people bought this fight thinking that Mayweather, someone who has fought defensively his entire career, was suddenly going to turn into a brawler at age 40? Lolwtflol? That's hilarous, seriously.

If there is a rematch Manny will surely suffer a worst loss seeing as Floyd already has his number.

The overall point is that this fight brought in the neutral, casual fans because of the hype behind it and what they got was one man running away, hugging and headlocking throughout the entire fight whenever the other guy got near him. Obviously Floyd hit Manny with some good shots, but there is a reason why so many people are pissed off with the fight outside of the actual result.
There is a reason why so many people are pissed off with how the fight went down.
Edit - Compare this fight to Floyds fight with JMM. In that fight he took it to the other guy, in this fight he was on the back foot for literally the entire fight.

That's like getting hyped for a Chelsea Barcelona game and get pissed off because Chelsea defended the whole time and beat Barca on counter-attack.
