after yesterdays controversy...THINGS WENT UP IMO
even with the Negative Coverage, the fact is that THEY WAS COVERING BOXING! all on Sports Talk Radio people was talking about the Controversy, Twitter was going crazy talking about Boxing
Mayweather was already the "BAD GUY" so this only means MORE PEOPLE will want to see him LOSEComment

What did this fight do for Floyd? Once again, money but no respect.
Pacquiao is still there. Haunting lil'Floyd- who is increasingly out of control. Let's watch him unravel like Tyson.
Floyd booed at another fight. Big surprise.Comment

Pacquiao vs Mosley was a stinker, but PAC will still get over 1 million buys versus Marquez. Fans are settling for nonsense, so the promoters are gonna keep feeding that.Originally posted by SoggyLungsyeah, but it's not the kind of talk that would give boxing a positive image. also, some of the people who bought this fight are probably pissed off that they did considering how it ended and, as a result, they will feel less inclinded to want to dish out $65 for another PPV boxing match in the future.Comment

True indeed............Originally posted by SoggyLungswell at least with pac vs mosley some people knew beforehand that there is a good chance the fight will be a stinker/flop. with mayweather vs ortiz there was potential of seeing a good match, but it was ruined because of the way it ended and it just put a bad taste in everyone's mouth and left people feeling robbed. another example was mares vs agbeko..you expected that to be a good fight but it was completely ruined by mares low blows and the incompetence of the ref.Comment

I'm sorry my friend, but it wasn't. Go read Twitter/Blogs/Facebook, and the reaction from so many has been overwhelmingly negative. I've had many friends of mine tell me that that was the kind of **** that stops them from becoming a boxing fan. Farce, fix, fraud....you name it.
Last night was a black day for the sport. The perception of our sport is that it deserves to be where it is when stuff like that goes on.
It wasn't the result that bothered me, I knew Floyd was gonna win before and during the fight. It was the repercussions that it would have on our sport that have depressed me.
Yeah, we fight fans know the "protect yourself at all times" mantra and know that technically, is was a legal punch (but morally shameful, IMHO). But these casual fans - they're seeing a fight ending in 4 rounds where one man is punched with his hands down and not even looking at the other guy, who knocks him out in such a sly way. And they're paying $60 for that privilege.
That fight set boxing back even more.Comment

This PPV I bought because of Floyd that Pac vs Mosley fight I bought it becasue of Manny. Pac came to fight and Mosley was acting all scare ****less. In this fight Floyd found a way to get out that fight very poorly. So yeah I have to ***** about me spending money on him. so STFU yourself buddy.Were you satisfied with Pac VS. Mosley fight? Haven't seen a thread from you complaining about that fight. You going to buy the Pac Vs. Marquez?
Stop b!tching already. I have been telling idiots on here to stop buying these fights. Its dumbA$$e$ like you who are giving fighters option to fight anyone whose not legit cause idiot fans like you have given them the impression that you would pay for anything. The sport is what it is because of fans like you. Congratulations for making what boxing is today so STFU....Comment
