The place I was at had both the ufc and the mayweather fight on screens, and the mayweather had everyones attention until about the 5th round when people saw the graphic and how every round was going to get scored for mayweather no matter how little he did. people were arguing about who won the first round,and everybody reacted to the 2nd round knockdown, but from there it was a really bad night to be a boxing fan. the announcers seemed more interested in putting over mayweather then calling the fight. and then mayweather had the nerve to rip the microphone out of Max kellermans hands before he could ask him any questions about pacquaio. i was embarressed by the end of the night to tell anyone that I went there soley to see the boxing.
    i stopped reading after that. your post is garbage and i'm almost convinced you made those thoughts up.

    also, seriously? weak performance by mayweather, seriously? lol. the whole media and boxing world disagrees with you or the pretend invisible friends you were watching the fight with. horrible post, honestly. and this comes from someone who really dislikes mayweather and wasn't supporting him at all saturday night.

        I agree with the thread starter. When the Mayweather DLH fight went down, that was one of the most boring matches I've ever seen in my life. I personally didn't get this fight and the main reason is that there wasn't a single area that Marquez had an advantage to make the fight competitive. Plus no matter how skilled Mayweather is, I will not pay money out of my pocket to help support that prick.

          Wow, the HBO team seemed to think this fight was incredibly entertaining by the way they were commentating. I didn't think it was half bad but was dissappointed that Floyd refused to "close the show" with a KO....

            Seems like it was only a bad night for boxing if you hate Mayweather's guts.

            I thoroughly enjoyed it

              It is indeed a bad night for boxing. I simultaneously watched UFC and boxing that day and what I noticed was that there are a lot of empty seats in the gayweather-JMM fight while the UFC is full house.

              On a perspective it is indeed a loss once again to UFC as the main event was a farce. A 130 guy fighting a WW who cant even make weight.

              Plus that same bloke for a WW can't even finish the bloated opponent.

              Casual fans tend to throw this kind of fights.

              And w good reason.

                    You come in overweight then balloon to 160 on fight night.

                    You force a featherweight to fight at WW and in the process he bloats himself up.

                    And you still cant put him away.

                    That's boring ass dude.

                    Then again people like you have no common sense so carry on.
