HBOs Mayweather/Pacquiao: The Legends Speak thoughts

[Dr Rumack]

Yeah I was out with a friend last weekend who's a Floyd fan. He doesn't watch fights unless it's a Floyd fight and admitted as much. He hates Pacquiao of course because I guess you're automatically supposed to if you're a Mayweather fan, and when I asked him about his thoughts on the fight -- he said Floyd by KO in the 1st or 2nd round. He told me it's because Manny is trash now and has been put to sleep "a few times" recently. I replied that it was once, and asked him if he had seen any of the Pacquiao fights since the Marquez fight. And he didn't even know that Pacquiao had fought once since Marquez, let alone 3 times. Anyways I laughed at him for making these bold proclamations about the fight considering how little he knows about the sport aside from Mayweather fights.

I mean f**k, I don't mind the ridiculous predictions so much so long as the person actually tries somewhat to follow the sport, but when a mother**ker clearly does not...and yet makes these bold ass ******ed predictions, I'm sorry. Just STFU and GTFO.

By the way I also reminded him that Floyd hadn't scored a KO since 07' (in response to his KO1 or KO2 "prediction"), and then he backtracked enough to say "okay maybe it'll be a decision, but Floyd will win every round".

The biggest names/teams in any sport will have the most ******ed fans. That's how bandwagons work.

To me, Floyd has by far the most ******ed fans in boxing. But Manny has the second worst. That's just how it goes.

Is he a regular sports fan? Probably too much pride in himself to act like there's a sport as brutal/tough as boxing that he doesn't know jack **** about. Especially when the "Super Bowl" of its era is coming up.

Yeah he's a NFL/NBA guy. But boxing, no. Which is fine, but at least admit it and not act like you're an expert when you don't even follow the sport outside of 1 guy. Once we got on this boxing convo it got me onto to other fighters, like Matthysse/Provo/Crawford (since those guys were fighting that night) and he didn't even know who the f**k they were.
