    Everybody was talking about it. I was amazed how everybody who probably haven't seen boxing before was talking about it.
    Man, and I wasn't even thinking about that when I was angry. It makes me even angrier. How many millions watched boxing for the first time and think it's a big joke?

      These two conned the boxing world for 5 years, then conned them even harder last weekend. This is just going to make every promoter and manager do the exact same **** because they know the fans won't care.

      This is absurd. These guys didn't deserve paydays like this after everything they've done.
      You both knew that Floyd was going to fight this style. The hope was Manny's all out combination punches would force Floyd to be "exciting" or maybe defeat him. He never did that.

        Whoever bought this fight thinking it was going to be anything other than how it turned out doesn't know **** about boxing. Suckers.

          I been saying for awhile that the fight was financially bigger now than in 2010.

            It doesn't matter, FLoyd could've let Manny hit him with overhand rights, like he let Maidana for the fans entertainment.

            Both are at fault.

              Yes. Floyd fought like he always does. The one that didn't live up to casuals/Pac stans expectations is Pacquiao.

                Don't take the 5 million as fact, it's not confirmed but it being at 2.5 million with only satellite and phone providers is insane.

                    Floyd fought the way he normally fights. He isn't the one that lied about what he was going to do in the fight. Your frustration needs to be aimed directly at #48 and everyone he's associated with.

                      Don't be stupid. Maidana fought, Manny didn't. Maidana forced Floyd into looking bad, fighting ugly, and made him step it up.

                      Manny refused to engage and settled for taking all this Money. he betrayed the sport. Thankfully, those in the sport are holding him accountable.
