Mayweather win against Pacquiao is bad for boxing.

[S.G.]

Everyone knows what you get with Floyd by now. And I think the only way this fight could be "bad for boxing" is if some injustice takes place such as a robbery or something.

I wish people would understand that boxing has more than one style. its a sport. if they want to run to UFC or MMA, then thats fine, the parameters of that sport might be more suited to what they enjoy, but i enjoy boxing, that isnt going to change even if im the only fan in my entire city.

[El Jesus]

This is a way over stated point. Floyd may not produce barn burners but there have been some decent action fight and people tune in. People keep talking about how the casual fan will turn away from him but they keep coming back. The casual fans hate for Floyd is more of a manufactured internet forum creation than a reality. Someone on NSB even said Floyd was booed in the JMM fight even though HBO panned the arena several times to show people standing and cheering the boxing clinic that was going on. People underestimate the "casual" fan.

most people know floyds name and know very little about his braggadocios behavoir. most of the time its "hes pretty good" or "hes fast" and not much more. people in real life dont overanalyze, some people dont like his style, some people dont care either way.

in urban communities like here in oakland, mayweather is very well known and very much liked. it just depends where you are in some cases.

If you don't like that style, don't watch, simple.

I like boxing to go mainstream like it was before. I'm sure slick boxing style will not help this cause.

I mean, explain to me how the so called, "Most Boring Boxer", is also the biggest draw? That's very unexplainable. I think everyone needs to accept the fact that people appreciate Mayweather's style.

Boxing needs variety of styles, accept that.

You're not a true fan of the sport so don't pretend to be. Your ignorance clearly shows that. Historically there have been various styles in boxing from Jack Johnson to Jack Dempsey. From Joe Louis to Rocky Marciano.Willie Pep to Roberto Duran. Duran to Whitaker. Ali to Tyson. The sport is still here and breaking PPV records. Mayweather is not "bad" for boxing and anybody who thinks that is uniformed, misinformed, and ignorant. This thread shows a lack of intellect and appreciation for the sport. Anybody who rides with this clown TS better think about that first.

END OF DISCUSSION.

Hi im jantzen212003, glad to see we have true blues still on the boards.

You are deviating from the topic. Do you agree that a Mayweather win will not attract casual fans (boxing fan will always be a fan) so that the sport will sustain the momentum it is having now?

SMH....

mayweather has been fighting in a low-risk manner since he's had problems with his hands....this same fighting style, has gotten him to the point where he is the top draw in boxing....he wins this fight, i don't expect that to change.

[NYU Alum.]

you are not a boxing fan.

No, you're not a boxing fan.

What Mo**ey Mayweather does inside that ring is ripoff fans. I guess it's great football to if the score 12-0(all via field goals).

[Doctor_Tenma]

What Mayweather does inside the ring is masterful, rare in Boxing

Fixed it
