    Yeah, at the end of the day they're both 100+ million dollars richer and we'd still here at Clutchfans going at each other and not even getting a cent. :grin:

    The women in the background pretty much summed it up.

    I didn't really get the hype. Mayweather ducked Pacquiao when he could have hurt him many years ago. Mayweather always uses his reach and quickness to avoid getting hit and having a real fight. Anyone that has ever seen Mayweather fight knows his matches are always boring as hell. It's always someone chasing Mayweather around the ring and Mayweather just running the clock out.

    Great fight by Mayweather. It's sad that people can't see his greatness. He makes great fighters ordinary.

    Glad I didn't pay for it. Seems like it went exactly how most expected. Long and boring.

    You know the more I think about it, the more I am starting to believe that Pacquiao took a dive in that fight.

    It was clear that Pacquiao was just after a payday.

    Give the credit where it's due. The way Floyd fought today against the greatest offensive boxer was a great show of his boxing def skills. he was also more aggressive than his previous fights. The best boxer and businessman.

    Mayweather put on a clinic. Say what you want but he completely controlled the fight bar the 3rd and 4th.

    Getting paid $150 million, the bread is already in the pudding. Pac only engages when the other opponents go along with him. Pac fights close, while Floyd uses the distance which works in his advantage because Floyd has the longer reach. Floyd is the best at having his back turned to the ropes and using his defense to his advantage, which is ironic since most boxers going to the ropes means trouble. Other than that, Floyd really doesn't have that many great attributes to his game other than his defense and Jab?? Floyd does not have an offensive game whatsoever.

    amazing how are they able to charge so much money for something so boring

    alot of casual fans who never watch boxing just got that decision not to reinforced

    the nail in the coffin for the sport

    Predictable that Mayweather was winning by decision, but what a boring fight. Spent more time looking at my twitter feed than the fight.

    $100 PPV...overpaid by about $99.

    I'm not saying go and throw haymakers the entire time, but at least act like you care about getting the finish.

    Boxing just doesn't have the same heart as in the past.

    Pac wasn't going to do anything wreckless since:

    1. He's already getting paid like a mofo
    2. Marquez KO


    The fight should have happened 5 years ago, echo/echo/echo/echo.........

    He would have faced Pac then, but didn't because Pac had that power then.

    Floyd is the Shane battier of boxing and I mean that as a compliment.

    basically

    he had 5 years to come up with a gameplan and manny still looked lost. power doesn't matter when you can't hit anything, not to mention floyd was MUCH faster back then.

    floyd just beating manny period.

    manny just can't handle floyd stylistically. pacqiuao is used to fighting punching bags that are just going to stand there and trade. he's not used to someone who actually plays this thing called.... *gasp*.... DEFENSE! JMM gave him that work and floyd is a bigger, faster, stronger JMM.

    but whatever helps pacqiuao fans sleep at night. to think they waited for this. all that trash talk for nothing. all that talk about how floyd hasn't seen an offensive fighter like pacqiuao and blah blah blah only for pacqiuao to look absolutely flabbergasted trying to figure out floyd's defense.

    smh.

    He should go fight GGG. I am sure GGG can drop some weight for the $$$.

    I would literally cream myself if he agrees to fight Golovkin, thats a fight I'd rather over Floyd and Pac even before the lopsided fight
