Mayweather Promises excitement, not moving, bringing pressure

He does always say this, though at this point I wonder if his legs are gone enough that Mayweather doesn't want to move unless he has to.

And also its him in the ring not us. He's the one boxing, he's gonna get the win regardless if its exciting or not, and like dude said you know his style and his fights if you don't like, don't tune in. Against Ortiz you can't let him control the pace And pressure, you gotta get him moving back, ie Maidana and Peterson

If you can't force him to fight at your level[Take him out of his comfort zone], then he'll just outbox you comfortably. It's not that hard to comprehend really. Think about it, he doesn't have to work as hard as any other Boxers to lands his punches, it's up to his opponents to try to work harder than him to lands their punches first.

There's only a few fights where Mayweather's had to utilize all square footage of the ring;
Corrales, Castillo I & II, Baldomir, DLH, and some of the Hatton fight. All of his other fights, he's walked down his opponents and has been willing to engage, but his style impends on his opponents ability to think. The guy has gumption in the ring... no he won't stand and bang, but he'll slip, roll, and pivot while staying close enough to counter.
But somehow, that constitutes as running.

Not to mention that your post doesnt apply to the thread.
