As a longlife boxing fan... Worst fight I've seen.... Horrible.
This was supposed to save boxing? All it did was make a spectacle of it with the insane prices and celebrities and ended up turning away prospective new boxing fans. Boxing is FIGHTING.

Not outpointing and running. That's what Olympics and being an Amateur are all about. Both men left without a mark on their faces. All paq did was smile like a politician and May ran away.

Both should retire, that "fight" was a disgrace.

I tell ya!! I've never been this disappointed about a fight before. I knew heavyweight boxing was dull and boring but I though the lower weight classes still had a bit of excitement.

I'm really pissed off with this fight, it was too much of a hype. No wonder boxing is on the decline, real fans know the the sport is dead.

With the level anticipation and money attached to this fight, both fighters were supposed to put up a show no one would forget in a hurry. All the hallmarks if a great fight were missing; no knockdown, no moments which got people on the edge of their seats, no blood, no cuts, no swelling.. Nothing!! The cuts man on both side was on vacation, even that metal stuff used to massage swellings was never used. Both fighters came out looking pretty faced and they're going to have the guts to accept 9 figure cheques, especially floyd who takes home close to $200 mil for 36 mins of running around (more than most people will ever make in their lifetime)

This is the biggest fraud in boxing history.

Ali's self proclaimed himself the greatest, and he very well lived up to it. He was a champion during something that was arguably the toughest era in boxing history, having to fight his way past some of toughest motherfuc*kers in the business. He defied so many odds to become champion three times. What has mayweather done?

Unbeaten record doesn't make a fighter great, Joe Calzaghe retired with an unbeaten record (with a higher number of KOs than Floyd) does that make him the greatest?

I disagree on Wladimir Klitschko, as boring as I find him, I've got to admit he's a professor of jabs. I don't know how you'd say he's a bum when he hasn't lost a fight (nor came close to losing a fight since 2005). Every opponent he's faced has been forced to eat those robotic jabs of his for 12 rounds (including Nigeria's Samuel peters). The guy is even more efficient that floyd.

Vitali on the other hand, is a tougher fighter with a granite chin, he's never been down in his career. How could you say Lewis destroyed him when he was leading on all scorecards? He was a ministering punishment to lewis, barring a cut to the eye, he could have defeated Lewis. Lewis knew what could have happened that's why instead of granting him a rematch, he quickly retired and relinquished the belt.

Well, like Ali, Mayweather defeated everyone put in front of him, including future hall of famers - and made them look average. Despite not recording any loss.

Joe Calzaghe fought bums and washed up Roy Jones and Benard Hopkins. I'd even wager that Hopkins beat him, but he got the decision. He's no different from Rocky Marciano who fought bums and pensioners. Heck, he fought some of the bums an incredible six times. Can't compare him to Mayweather at all.

The Klitschko brothers are bums.

all4naija:
He(Mayweather) recorded a lost fight to a Bulgarian boxer in the past.

micktoxin:

Another lady in the house . So you also like boxing?

omonnakoda:
Records in boxing are standardized.

Professional records are very separate or distinct from amateur records. Every one who has any idea about boxing know this. What next are we to start saying so and so recordes a lost fight to his big sister? Let us keep things real and honest

all4naija:
What are you trying to talk about? Is the past amateur fight not in the record? Stop beating about the bush.

Guys! Guys!! I know boxing is about intelligence but lets not forget it's also a brute sport. If you want to see just intelligence at work, then go watch the chess masters. I wanna see blood, sweat, and cut.

Have you ever wondered why boxing isn't really popular again?

Watch this fight below and tell me, you wouldn't pass pick this over se*x

Please compare this to last night'a fight, and tell me which would you have loved to pay to see. If you answer is yesterday's fight then I guess we have different ideas of what boxing is.

This is computer/internet era bro. Nowadays, we calculate, computerize, and strategize before taking actions. In those days they fight for peanuts cos they got no other source of income likewise soccer, then they hardly buy a car talkless of getting a good home of their own so winning is paramount and the leeway to be successful. Ask yourself this simple truth, will you be quarter wealthy like Pacman not even Floyd and put your face to be condemned? Answer is NO, or Messi and C.Ronaldo and put your leg in tackle to condemn your future cos you wanna be a Hero. These fighters and players ain't fools, WIN, DRAW or LOSE they still make a whooping amount of $$$$$Millon$$$$$? Lets be realistic, gone are the days you use because of roasted snake fish to burn your hands.... There's an adage in Urhobo that says, 'A giant has to be brilliant so he can live long'. They're both successful and brilliant.

[size=15pt]9 Reasons Why Floyd Mayweather easily defeated Manny Pacquiao[/size]

what's the meaning of TMT.

50calibre:


Boxing involves trading punches, fighter are paid shi*t load of money to beat each other up not run scared and win on points.

Strategy is key in boxing but the ultimate aim of every strategy should be to inflict punishment on the other fighter & then knock him out.

Gone are the days when fighters entered into the ring with intentions to knock the other fighter out and prove he's the better man. Now fighters step into the ring with intentions of pillow fighting for 12 rounds and then get paid more than an average person earns in a lifetime.

Fighter are paid that much because of the risk they take, you can't have it both ways. So if all you wanna do is strategise all day without actually fighting, then boxing is not the sport for you.

Then stop watching. these guys got 20+ KO before emerging champion. They ain't fighting to make you smile but fighting to entertain you and make their dough.

omonnakoda:


Not all fighters are paid that much.Indeed the vast majority are not and many end up as bodyguards or bouncers. They do not take more risks than soldiers or policemen.Those that are are paid highly arebecause they have managed to con the mugs that pay by delaying obvious fights and making the public gag and beg for it. Just like the so called high class hooker who convinces her tricks that a night with her is worth $20000 or more. Yes that is how many of those pornstars actually make their money!

With Mayweather we cannot say the public do not know what they are paying for if after 47 fights if they don't then they must be really dumb. He gets paid more and more each time so the public must be on some masochistic trip because they keep coming back for more and paying more each time. People paid a lot of money to see goals in World Cup finals 1994, 2006,2010,2014 all went to extra time.
The fight may not have lived up to the expectations of some but those were mostly those who did not know what they were paying for those who knew got exactly what he always does as far as Mayweather is concerned,the "disappointment" if we can call it that was Manny failing to knock him out. Was Mayweather supposed to let that happen just to please everyone?

Any boxer in the top flight earns more than an average person earns in a year.

This fight generated so much money as a result of how long it took to make it happen. This is not like any other mayweather fight, this was his career defining fight against his arch nemesis who'd haunted him for years.

One wouldn't be blamed for expecting an exciting fight given the Mayweather doubters, the animosity & bad blood between the two fighters (which should be enough to make a good fight). Mayweather had the chance to cement his authority as the pound for pound king by winning emphatically but all he did was run around the ring all night and then walked home with a 9 figure check. That's a typical example of an undeserved pay.

I[b] don't think you know what it means to not get your money's worth,[/b] I can bet my last penny that you didn't watch the fight & neither did you care about the fight to begin with.

Unfortunately for boxing fans like myself, who've waited 5 solid years for this fight, this was an abysmal showing. I'm not an old man but I'm old enough to have seen some super-fights in my time and I can say for sure that this fight was undeserving of the hype and money involved.

This is not about support for any fighter, I don't care who won or lost, it just wasn't an exciting fight.. period!!

What we saw Sunday morning wasn't a Pacquiao loss but a boxing loss.

Oh! Oh! And by the way, that your football analogy? It's lame. I can't even begin to tell you how lame it is.

omonnakoda:
Any professional sportsperson in the top flight earns more than average persons . This is equally true of actors, musicians, doctors and even prostitutes.
Getting money's worth is a subjective thing people are dissatisfied with air flights,tuition,restaurant meals, and all kinds of goods and services many others are also satisfied. No fight is deserving of hype and money execpt the market chooses to make it so. If you are so aggrieved why don't you write them a polite letter to ask for a refund. I don't know who you are and it is not my practice to exchange words like "lame" or gratuitous aggression with strangers. That is my default position generally. I thought it was a masterclass in the fine arts of boxing and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!


There can be no doubt that your father did not get his money's worth if he spent money schooling you. Clearly you have no manners and no self respect and that is why you think it is perfectly okay to open your dirty mouth and address me anyhow. I do not think your father's head is in the right place because if it was you would check very well before you start howling. Guy next time look very well if that is how you address others on NL in your life do not ever try that with me. Bastardd

Shut up retar*d!! You didn't watch the fight, yet a boxing novice like you, thinks it's ok defend a mediocre performance just because you hear Mayweather fans doing the same? Do not be fooled, they know that performance was poor.

I'm not aggrieved, I'm disappointed because I believe to whom much is given, much is expected but of course I don't expect you to understand any of that, it's apparent you've never excelled at anything in life.

Your dad obviously had very low expectations of you, you're also a boy of low expectations but trying to knock someone else for having higher expectations is very lame and moronic of you.

You're simpleton, and I'm going to talk to you how I please so do yourself a favour and shut the fuc*k up!#

And how was Saturday's fight entertaining? Did you actually watch the fight? Are you even a boxing fan, and what do you know about boxing?

I don't know anything about boxing oo, I didn't even watch cos I got black and white TV with no HDMI cable and more or so fuel scarcity but was able to read scorecards . I've already seen you like vulgar languages and love insulting peoples parents, thats really bad, I'm not in for that oo cos you are already peddling me. All I can tell you is Floyd won simple. You don't expect everything in life to go your way bro, ko possible. If you lose you lose admit it and forge ahead. Remember June 97' when Tyson bit Holyfield's ear, do you know how many people got feud cos of Tyson's act? Boxing is just a game in the next few years this will be forgotten. I really enjoyed the match tho and I bet Floyd wins 1st, 2nd and 3rd round and it worked out for me do you know how many odds is that uh? I later checked compubox and saw Floyd dominated in all categories.

Well, agreed the fight is boring to Pacmans fans but do you think if he won will it look boring? Funny world.
