Spend over 100,000 dollars to watch a sparring session brehs.
Spend 100 dollars on ppv just to complain about spending 100 dollars on ppv brehs.
I could've watched a kickboxing or MMA undercard and gotten way more action
It ain't even about the action breh... from a purely technical stand point the fight wasn't really that entertaining to watch... pac pretty much lived in fear of the right hand and mayweather didn't even really punish the inactivity like he would have in the past

I swear Floyd takes more punishment out on his sparring partners than his actual opponents. 
those are the real nikkas that deserve the milli paydays Floyd be looking like a scene from a horror movie after every sparring match.

Floyd on his

at this post cuz it's true.Floyd be whupping those nikkas like they done spilled gatoraide on the floor or didn't take out the garbage.
fight was great, don't know how anybody can see it wasn't entertaining, crowd was on the edge of it's seat the entire time, no booing
and they paid insane prices
boxing is about the confrontation, the event, fight wasn't boring, santa cruz fight was boring because it seemed like it would never end, these rounds went by so quick I wish they were 15
Manny impressed with his boxing skill, I thought he would get knocked out, but he can box when he wants too, made floyd miss often with shots that would have hurt him bad if landed clean
Floyd looks old as fukk, its time for him to retire, but he still dominated, pac only won 2 rounds
The key to this fight was Floyd's ability to keep his lead foot on the inside of pacquiao's, which would also keep a manny on an angle where he would be out of position and not able to aim at floyd's center line
the fact manny never tried to his lead feet inside of floyd's is a mystery to me
They both hurt each other a few times, both fought smart, people are complaining because manny couldn't do any of the things they imagined, but that's with any opponent who fights mayweather, he controls distance and range, manny wasn't scared to throw, he couldn't, floyd control the angle with his lead foot, pacquiao couldn't get pass that first line of defense the whole night, and floyd controlled distance wit his jab
it was often manny was in position to throw, had he do one so he would be caught out of position and hurt really bad, so he did the only thing he could do, and waited for spots where he could throw
Floyd even explained how he would do this on his special where he's hitting the heavy bag
good fight, great showcase of boxing IQ and skills
This why Paulie should've been on the broadcast team instead of Lampley who doesn't know anything about boxing and can never explain what is happening in the ring
The commentary made it seem like the fight was boring because people couldn't understand what was happening because the two moved so fast, trying to figure each other out
if an expert was commentating he could highlight all the things I mentioned and people can start to understand the sport
When you have people who have no clue about what it takes to win a boxing match commentating on it like espn do, it's a bad for the sport, because the general public can't learn about the tactics of the sport
people saying he fight is a disappointment, I just don't understand, why watch boxing at all, at any given time manny couldn't hurt floyd or vice versa, and finished the fight, that type of tension is enough to get your eyes clued on the screen, just because it didn't happen doesn't mean the threat wasn't there
If this fight happened 5 years early, pacquiao would've got blown out the water, Floyd's reflexes are nowhere near when he fought marquez, yet the same strategy could still be implied
also the straight right to the body, to substitute for the jab to the body, was masterful on floyd's point on how he delivered those shots

Roy did a good job analyzing the fight that night but Lampley would cut him off a lot of the times.
You know i respect your opinion and you're probably a more knowledgable boxing fan than i am, but i still disagree with you.
If Pac responded to May the way you say he should've, wouldn't that have been May controlling him even more? Because we're talking about the boxer who has one of the best defense and tactical game for years and maybe even ever, so if Pac slugged against that there's a even lesser chance that he'd win IMO. That was also what Floyd and fans expected Pac to do, and once act out what people expect - esp against one of the best out now - slim chance you'll do any better.

floyd made easy work of manny.
The fight was over hyped...PAC isn't that great...it was a easy fight for money may
Neither are that great from a historical point of view.

That lil nano sec where he saw it and moved his head back saved his azz.
That coulda been the shot heard round tge world if his head stayed in place.

Just keep my rep red
lol, people mad as hell, yall seen this?
That's what I'm saying, he'd lost the fight before it begun. Instead of just standing there, he could make it interesting and pray for a knockout cause that would be the only way for him to win. The closest fights I've seen Floyd in is when people get under his skin by being dirty and aggressive like Cotto and De la Hoya.
The way I see it, there's no reason for the man who is dominating to turn up, that's on the losing party. Specially not against someone who can deliver devastating blows from nowhere.
I agree. I want 15 rounds back as well
We tried to tell you Manny wasnt all hype breh
He has great talent, it's just not on Floyd's level. Pacquiao is farrrrrr from a bum though
True
His trainer should've picked up on that too.
All true
Yes. I dont even know how people can slight after this performance
Agree
Agreed again.
Floyd really can exit stage left now...there is 0 left for him to prove in the sport. It's a victory lap for him
