Mayweather v. Pacquiao

[stevestevens]

My neighbor paid for the fight and invited me over. Glad he wasted his money while i just wasted my time

[Glen]

Least exciting champion ever. 12 rounds and Pacquiao was barely scratched.

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Most people I talked to wanted Pacman to win but expected Mayweather to win via decision, myself included. I guess I can't be disappointed since it's what I expected but for me that was the last hurrah for boxing.

Pac got his punches in.  Questionable scoring, including the punch count.  Because there is no way Mayweather landed twice as many punches as Pac.  

 

In the end.  Pac had his chances, and just didn't finish Mayweather off.  Didn't think it should have been as lopsided as it was.  But Mayweather got the home field advantage.

Called it. What a boring ass fight.

May weather dances around the ring and Paquio didn't throw enough punches.

Glad I didn't pay for this.

How wrong can you be? Pac throw roo many punches that missed...mayweather is too fast too quick and too good to be beat..not a boring fight at all. Mayweather just pound for pound a great fighter ...u must be a ufc honk...

[Brandon]

No dumbshit. I don't know if you were just drunk or why many here said the fight was boring but you singled me out.....not to mention calling the one guy wrong that called the Mayweather decision.

 

Here were the punch totals: Mayweather threw 435 punches, Pacquiao threw 429

 

Everyone said Pac would have to flurry him to beat him and he couldn't even surpass a defensive fighters punch total.

 

I don't know what the hell a honk is or why you decided to get judgmental with the UFC comment. These must be UFC fans as well: http://www.si.com/boxing/2015/05/03/mayweather-pacquiao-fight-boring-twitter

Again, Pac didn't show up and started using some bullshit shoulder injury that started in the 3rd, even though his best round and what he needed to do all fight was in the 4th. 6 punches per round is not going to get it done.

It's gotta be a real hoot rooting for Mayweather. "Look, he got in a jab that did no damage and then danced away! Oh shit, he just got into trouble and hugged his way out of it! What a fighter!"

Yeah, it was a boring fight because Mayweather took no chances. Spent most of the fight backing up. How exciting is that?

WTF was up with the burger king dude in the entourage?

Bigger WTF, why sing the Mexican national anthem before the fight?

Bigger WTF, why sing the Mexican national anthem before the fight?

 

Was wondering that too.  Only thing I can think of is because of the undercard.  Then again, then why wasn't the Russian national anthem played.  

 

Oh, and if you watched the first undercard.  LOL moment on the dumbshit that didn't stand by the ten count, and just continued to kneel and have that look of what just happened after he was counted out.  

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

They said it was sung because of something to do with Cinco De Mayo but really Tecate was a major sponsor who paid for it. Once again proving money trumps everything.

Because the border is gradually creeping north, and before long we will be on the other side of it.

 

This fight definitely brought the big money to town. An aerial photo of the private aviation center at McCarran Airport the day of the fight:

May weather typically has boring "fights". Dude runs and holds the majority of the time. I'm not paying money to watch that. You want to give me some Leonard-Hearns level boxing, I'm in. But out jabbing another boxer and giving Hussein Bolt pause as an elite runner? No thanks. Although...now that I think about it I might pay to see Mayweather take on Pernell Whitaker. First one to throw and land a jab wins.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Mexico tourism was a sponsor. Hence the anthem and all the signage on the ring ropes.

[nate]

Fight was also free to watch in Mexico.

I read Burger King paid Floyd a mil for that.

[Crampknees]

I never got one of these fights before and had some people over and made a prime rib.  I will have prime rib again in the future.

[Angel Oracle]

I fortunately got to see the fight at a friend's house, and not have to pay anything.

Mayweather's 4 inch reach advantage pays dividends.

[Tank]

apparently pac man had an injured shoulder.

It seems that Dana White's prediction that this would be the most litigated fight/ppv event ever is going to come true.

[gotbeer]

Pacquiao sued in U.S. for allegedly concealing injury

 

Gets out the popcorn.
