Does anyone else feel like neither Floyd or Manny looked that good last night?

neither done anything. floyd hardly landed any lead right hands or check hooks like he usually does and manny hardly threw. both collected their paychecks and got off. this is why i said before the fight even happened that i was looking forward more to cotto/canelo, at least that would have been a fightComment

Mayweather looked like Mayweather. He's clearly ageing but for those who paid for a Mayweather fight, you got Mayweather. Pacquiao was just made to look bad, had his punch output cut in half. If that was any other fighter in there with Pacquiao, his punch output would be double.
So it's not that either looked bad. Floyd just looked like himself and that's good enough to make Manny look bad. I don't see why anybody is surprised.Comment

Mayweather did what Mayweather does, aka the bare minimum. I think the sad fact is, that Pacquiao didn't push him to fight any harder. Pacquiao was tentative to the point of just handing the fight to Floyd. The reason for Manny's inactivity is likely from two sources. Floyd's hard counter shots, and lingering memories of the Marquez KO. Pre KTFO6 Pacquiao would have almost certainly pushed the fight more. He might have been knocked out in the process, but it surely would have been a much better fight.Comment

Yes, thought the fight was very anticlimactic. Pretty sure the consensus amongst the casuals is that the fight was bad. Given the pricing for the PPV, the hype around it, the expectations, it was a very bad showing for boxing, as a whole.
Personally, I was very disappointed with the fight. Really bought into the hype myself, Mayweather saying he was gonna give the fans their money's worth, his fans saying he was gonna get the stoppage, experts saying he was gonna get the stoppage, saying it was gonna be a beatdown.
I really thought both would step up for the fight and understand that they were carrying the sport's future, with this fight. Instead, it was very anticlimactic. Like Mike said, "We waited 6 years for this?!"
Gonna re-watch the fight and see if I can enjoy it for what it was, and not knock it for what it was supposed to be.Comment

what a joke fight. i was fooled into thinking this would be great but it was a complete dud and almost everyone everywhere are talking about how much of a joke boxing is now (which it is at this point). fight of the century?? more like joke of the century! i was seriously not going to watch it because of the frickin blood draining job against manny (over 13 times are you serious!?!?!?!!?!).
floyd ran like a fraud as usual even though i kept hearing about how he would walk down pac and get a KO and him being stronger??? hahahahaha what a joke. manny still looked fresh after the fight because floyd's 1-2 pitty pat pot shotting couldn't do anything to him.
and sad to say manny looks way past it or all that blood draining really got to him. he was so inactive and almost lethargic at times. it was bad. a prime pacquiao would never have been that inactive. but at least he made some effort here and there while floyd frickin ran around throwing and landing measly pot shots for 12 rounds.
in the end floyd didn't beat a PRIME pacquiao. that drama diva has yet to beat a certified future hof'er in their prime. on top of that he gets little love from his hometown and majority of people. floyd is a champ, but manny is the PEOPLE'S CHAMP! the boo's for floyd says it all.Comment

Both looked like they would, past their best days...both looked terrible offensively. The right guy won but clearly this fight happened too late. At least we got to see it, just not the super fight we all expected just super hype.Comment
