That is such an astronomical number that I can't even fathom it.
"Fight Of The Century" some numbers are in, estimated 6 MILLION BUYS!

yeah i blame pac man for not doing what he promised in throwing 100 punches a roundBecause it was a wasted opportunity to bring back the sport to the mainstream. think about how big a boost it would have gotten boxing if it was a remotely exciting fight.
Everybody was talking about it. I was amazed how everybody who probably haven't seen boxing before was talking about it.Comment

The entire Build Up was for Pacquiao, Casuals was told for YEAR that Pacquiao is the guy to beat Mayweather so that is what they go by because again they don't watch Boxing as much so they have to go by what "THE EXPERTS" are saying. The entire selling point was that Pacquiao was going to throw 100 Punches around and "Outwork Mayweather"
Even Casuals know Mayweather style they knew of his style since the Zab Judah fight and Oscar De La Hoya Fight.
Casuals was misled but Prideful Pacquiao fans and Idiots on HBO like Lampley that Pacquiao is the guy to beat Mayweather. When it did not happen and he got Out-Boxed like the Rest, the Casuals are Crying about how Boring it was. I would be Bored to if the guy I picked to win spent majority of the fight swinging at Air and Mayweather Shadow.Comment

he didnt hug much in the 2nd half of the fight, he did it when needed to frustrate his opponents attack! he clinched 15 times and pac man did nothing when floyd was on the ropes or in front of him which was more than half the fight, be fair man if u want to see a clinch fest watch ali frazier 2... the clinching was not excessive in this fight, pac even clinched at moments (see round 6). outside of this the issue was pac and roaches lack of a game plan or any adjustments by them. the so called greatest offensive fighter of our time was held to looking the worse he has ever looked. it all boiled down to footplacement. which pac was horrible at in this fight.... the whole world tuned in to see if this hype u all built up was true and it wasntLast edited by 12TRIBEsRiSe; 05-08-2015, 12:39 PM.Comment

and the majority of fans(mostly casuals because they ARE the big buyers) were left disappointed. Should have been named "Sparring Session of the Century"Comment

Then there's no argument, they're both at fault.why did you watch the fight?
You hate Floyd and think he is boring so we know it wasn't to see him box defensively. You watched to see Manny perform with the hopes he would win.
Floyd did exactly what you have been critical of him for years. Manny was the one who fought out of character and robbed you of the style matchup you wanted.
Yet you want to blame them equally. GTFOH!!
You are playing yourself dude.
He contributed to making the fight boring.
Did he or did he not contributed to making the fight boring?
If that's the way Mayweather fights, boring, then he gets the blame as well
Don't get why you guys are trying your best to twist this, its simple.
Blame goes both ways.Last edited by ElMeroChingon; 05-08-2015, 12:42 PM.Comment
