Running man fights one armed man. Not even really a legit fight in that it never resulted in an outcome that was certain. Sure, the results were tainted but the money sure is real.
Congrats Floyd and Manny!
p.s. I will only watch a rematch if:
1) Pacquiao subjects himself to a full physical before the fight. The purpose of this is to make sure that he really is healthy.
2) Cut the size of the ring by 25%. The purpose of this is to make sure Mayweather stops dulling the fight by running to much.
By implementing the above two conditions, the rematch will become a legitimate fight with an equally legitimate outcome - one in which there is a real winner.
Otherwise, boycott the rematch!!! Better yet, not have the rematch at all!!!
PPV number - check, medical questionaire - check, NSAC score sheet - ? ? ?, has USADA result of the random drug test released yet?
suspicious, very very suspicious indeed.
What for?? Pac looked like chit.

Lmao...mfer's will probably be on vacation together, later this summer
Casual fans been buying PPVS for years now. You been under a rock?
I know that. I just think beyond right now. Floyd and Manny are on their way out. This past PPV would've been a great way to showcase up and coming stars and showcase the SPORT, not just 2 past prime money grubbers.
Yeah, definitely a huge missed opportunity. But casual fan disappointment usually follows a huge fight featuring Floyd. Should've stacked the undercard with A-quality fights, really show the possible new fans what the sport is about. Lomachenko put on a great show though, easily the most impressive performance of the night.
Missed opportunity.

Thats bad news that means that is a lot more people that just got turned off from boxing than we ever thought.

Crazy number. When was the last time boxing got 5M viewers on regular TV? :lol1:
Pretty insane. Thought the max would be like 3.5 mil, especially with the higher price. Guess Tecate made a killing off those rebate purchases :lol1:
Pacquiao won't get any backend cheddar if there is a rematch so he better enjoy this.
What? If the numbers are true then fighting Pacquiao brought in double Floyd's previous record. Actually more than both the Canelo Oscar fights put together. In terms of economics, this was the definition of a 50/50 fight.
The most either guy can get on their own now in maybe 1.5 million buys, but even that's out of reach. We still don't know the #s for the Maidana fights.
Shut your dumba$$ up you clown, gtfo take the rest of the larrys with you too
larry xxx p0rn addict is a black kkk leader here, he will call his minions to red k you for this!
Remember that Floyd and his fans were saying that a $40 mill with NO PPV money for Manny was a fair deal.
I think that the Floyd fans can join the rest of us now and agree how silly that was.
Yay....most sells in history for a sham. Pac stands there for 30% of the time as if he doesn't know that he is actually in a boxing match, claims some crazy injury after the fight and possibly staged a fake surgery to cover his tracks, no one knows if Floyd even took any drug tests at all (Lampley even claimed that Floyd got to decide exactly how many and when he took the tests on the show the other night, WTF?), Floyd plants spies in Pac's camp, both camps talked about KOing the opponent and each had the least offensive performance of their respective careers.
Geez, complete mix of conspiracy and propaganda to the top. Floyd knows about this apparent injury, says he will give a rematch, then the next day he says excuses are for losers, take a hike. I mean come on, what the hell are these dudes doing. They both made a complete mockery of this fight. Sure Floyd won, congrats to him, but this fight did little to settle it once and for all......smells like a giant mind phuck to sucker the fans into a rematch next year.
