I was at the Castillo rematch. The fight was dull and Floyd did fight cautiously, but to be fair Castillo lacked the intensity he brought to the first fight.
I went and watched Mayweather-Marquez fight. It was my first ever prize fight and the Vegas experience was awesome but a lot of regulars to big fights that were there said it was pretty low key. I was a little disappointed in the card though, I got there early, excited as hell and nobody showed up until the main event. We sat up high and it was a pro Mexican crowd but the fight wasn't that great. A lot of Mexican fans were throwing beer at Mayweather as he walked out of the arena.
I have since been to many fight cards and I sit close and that makes all the difference in the world. I will never sit up high again.
Mayweather-N'Dou, in GR. Van Andel arena holds 10,000, there were maybe 7,000 there. At the same time Troy Rowland was building into a MW contender and selling out the DeltaPlex arena at 5,000. Overheard multiple people while walking out complain it lacked the same excitement as Rowland's fights at the Delta Plex. In Mayweather's defense, Derek Gainer/Juan Marquez were the co-main. F*ck Derek Gainer.
The only standout memory I have of that event was that everyone in the arena would boo a particular ring card girl for wearing a denim skirt when the rest had bikini bottoms on. Eventually she broke down crying and they stopped making her go up.
Did you enjoy the fight...... his style
or was it boring as fu*k......
I went to the Guerrero fight... I fell asleep after the 8th round... a lot of ppl will call me a casual for saying it was boring as f.uck... but after the 4th that s.hit was boring as f.uck...but the event was the s.hit... that no worries intro still has me pumped...
Carlos Hernandez. Was a great fight.
Watching Floyd live is liking watching other trancendent athletes. He moved so smoothly and quickly he makes the other guy look like he's stuck in the mud.
Why anybody would pay hundreds of dollars for a ticket to watch a mayweather bout is mind boggling. Paying for mayweather ppv fight is already bad enough.
The only thing electric about a mayweather event is when the event is finally over. People are mad excited to find the nearest exit

I was at the Castillo I fight (MGM), his fight with Emmanuel Augustus (COBO) and the Gatti fight
(BoardWalk).
The environments were all electric and the fights were great ACTION fights. Most of Mayweather's fights are action packed. People just love hating on him because he's successful, undefeated and philthy rich.
The beating he gave Gatti was legendary.
At the Augustus fight, I was sitting right next to Ricardo Williams (at the time he was a hot Jr. Welter prospect) and Lalia Ali. Angel Manfredy was there rooting for Floyd as well.
Floyd and Oscar DLH evolved boxing.
Cotto and Guerrero. Mayweather fights are social events. You go on a Thursday, club a little, go to a pool party or two, go to the weigh in, eat brunch Saturday morning where you can talk to the training staff of the fighters who are performing later that night then just go to the fight, drink beers and socialize.

Cinco de Mayo and Mexican Independence Day weekends are awesome
The event itself is electric....
It don't matter if yall like floyd or not ..
This is a must for sports fans ....
Not 1 time have I been disappointed.....
Which 5 fights?
I was able to go to Mayweather-Judah. Wasn't a sellout but it was a good atmosphere, saw a lot of celebs just milling around the Thomas & Mack.
Good fight - and I never thought I would attend one of those boxing fiascos (ie. riots, Fanman, etc.)
Crowd was with Zab until the incident and I think the they appreciated how Floyd just stood by professionally and waited for everything to calm down - the crowd turned in his favor and that's basically when I became a fan as well (even though I rarely root for him). Only spent about $30 (plus the binocular rental to zoom in on Beyonce lol)
