Things I learned watching May-Canelo with casual/non knowing fans. (Participate)

Good post. Most of my friends are casual fans and half of them fell asleep. The fight ****** and it's the truth. No way in defending spending $80 for a PPV that was horrible. Mayweather owes the fans a free fight on Showtime for dishing $75 million in 2013 for 2 dull fights.

He doesn't owe the fans anything. Most of the people tuning into the sideshow want to see the unhittable man be hit. They don't watch to see Mayweather win, they spend their money and/or precious time to watch him in hopes that he'd lose.

You don't like his performance, go watch the Notre Dame game. Nobody is holding a gun to your head forcing you to buy and watch his ppv events.

1) "Floyd's not scared of Sergio Martinez! Who's Sergio Martinez?"
2) "This Sergio Martinez can't be that good because I've never heard of him"
3) "Do you think Mayweather could've beat Ali" WTF!!!!!
4) "Mayweather is tireless"

Here are some notes from casual fans while watching the fight:

1. No Mayweather fight means anything to non-boxing fans unless he fights Pacman.

2. Mayweather-Pacquiao fight not happening was 150% Mayweather's fault because he was scared.

3. Who's Bob Arum?

4. Canelo is just some handpicked scrub

5. Canelo is fat and out of shape (because he doesn't have a Mosley-esque body type). They'd probably say the same about Barerra and Morales in their prime because they didn't look like body builders.

6. Rehydrate after a weigh in? What's that? So they eat a bunch of donuts and pizza?

7. Pacquaio only fought guys he felt he might not win against and really challenged himself vs the best P4P fighters. It doesn't matter that I can't name them.

8. This fight is fixed and Mayweather uses steroids (because he looks in shape). Any fighter who is in shape is on the juice. Cano and Molina are real natural because they don't look ripped.

9. Canelo needs to lose weight and move down a couple of weight classes (this being said in the first round before he tired from missing later in the fight).

10. Mayweather should have told Pacman to go ahead and be on steroids and beat him.

11. Fighters suck for complaining about low blows and headbutts. In soccer and football, when you get hit, you pick yourself back up and retaliate. To which I replied that he's talking about a team sport vs a one on one combat sport. And they say that doesn't matter.

12. Where are the Ali's? These guys suck.

13. I could probably "win a draw" with Canelo like that judge scored it..(win a draw?)

Who did you watch the fight with Ryan Maqinana? LOL Sounds like you were surrounded by Pac Boy, Hectari, Soggy**** and Pacdbest

1. Also if you dont have a 98% and higher KO rate, then "this guy doesn't knock anybody out"...guys like Ali were great because they knocked these boys out

2. During fight "you gotta hurt him (Floyd), hit him hard. If he would hit him, he'd knock Floyd cold.

When you've had someone tell you Anthony Mundine is the best pound for pound fighter in the world and only behind Tyson and Ali all time come and talk to me.

General consensus of people at the bar I watched at is that Floyd should fight Pacquiao.. Floyd is scared of Manny and will never fight him.. I went to a bar in Orange County mostly white people and Mexicans.

Watching Pac fights in my auntie's house is hilariously awesome.

Ayan!
Ayan!
Ayan!

Every punch thrown... not landed... thrown.

Mayweather and Pac fights, the few days a year everybody is a freaking boxing expert.
I love seeing them make ******ed comments on facebook
