Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: Mayweather's Only Concern is Money, Not The Fans!

[Spoon23]

Oh stfu Pacquiao.

We can all blame Mayweather for ducking and diving Pacquiao for 5 plus years, we can all blame him for diffusing what it means to be a fighter and we can all blame him for being a ***** but let's get real here:

Mayweather, last May, did what he has always done. Run, jab, poke his right hand and clinch but Pacquiao, post round 4, refused to push the action. He threw less punches than almost every other fight in his career. Injuries aside, he didn't push because he saw his 150 mill paycheck and was satisfied. He lost the lion in him for the dollar. He should be ashamed.

Well if you ask most of us who has a rational mind, this hugging contest that Floyd showcased the whole night killed the super fight. I can even call this day light robbery for playing it too safe and turning the match into a zumo match. To some nutt huggers this hugging by Floyd is an atg skill lol It is a High level stuff, that they fool themselves into thinking it's part of the ring IQ to hold your opponent over and over and turn it into a hugging contest lol

Hugging has no business in a super fight. It's about proving your the best and putting a show, sadly FLoyd like a businessman that he is and didn't care about the fans hard earned money and played it too safe. That it left us all with a bad taste in our mouth.

NOPE IN THIS FIGHT FROID ROID WAS DIFFERENT

People are so blinded by Floyd and has his **** in their mouth to see what actually happened.. Floyd fought scared period!! Watch him fight Canelo .. Watch him fight cotto. Watch him fight Marquez .. Watch him fight victor Ortiz.. Watch him fight Ricky hatton.. For crying out loud does this look the same fight?? Hell no!! He was running and clinching thru out the fight cuz he was scared!!! And you *****s called this boxing?? Nacho beriastein said it the best.. His biggest fight of his career and he folded

# to Pac, Floyd rather run. Amen! Shows who really got game.

# and the truth keeps on chugging!

Floyd exposed


Too much holding over an injured asian midget. it only shows lack of confidence. And skill to oneself.

It only show a serious lack of skill. I respect a guy with a great defense and excellent footwork, but all too often, fans try to say a guy who runs and holds is great at both, when he just isn't. He's holding because he can't fight on the inside. He'd running and leaping away from shots because he has no fundamentals as far as footwork and feinting to put the opponent where he wants them. A lack of knowledge and skill overall, which is annoying to say the least. Derrick Gainer is a prime example of this. Just watch his fight with Marquez. Gainer showed speed but not really any skills or heart for that matter.

A boxer is holding coz his skill is limited. Holding is a desperate act of survival. It's the easiest way to get away from a tight fix. Refs that allow this are either paid off or just plain ****** not to notice this isn't allowed in boxing.

A boxer should try to get away from a pickle by boxing, bobbing, weaving, slip, sliding, rolling with the punches, feinting, countering, while holding is a form of desperation and is very amateur given they are suppose to be Pros. Boxers are expected to fight/punch and block punches with their ability to evade punches through defense and not by lame holding.

I'm not knocking him. It's his career and prerogative to do what is in his best interest to do for himself and his family. I'm just saying that when there were times Mayweather could have opened up just a bit more offensively for stoppages he simply chose not to for whatever reason.

For instance, I thought in both the Carlos Baldomir and Shane Mosley bouts, he could have settled down on his punches just a little more and got them both out of there but he refused; He was too defensive. Perhaps it was due in part of the fear of being countered by a punch he didn't see or he simply had hand problems.

In any case, they both looked like they were ready to surrender and throw in the white towel but Money May simply chose to carry them. Once history records his career, it could very well come back to haunt his legacy.

I think that is fighting ******. I don't think its the guy with the huge lead is responsible to give his opponent a chance to win by going for a KO. I think the guy who is losing needs to go balls out to win. A stoppage isn't worth more than a KO win.

Baldomir outweighed him by a lot. Shane, he did just that and got tagged, almost KTFO. I understand your point but it just seems like you are suggesting Floyd fight in a way that gives his opponent a better chance to be successful. I just have never seen this asked of any other boxer in history.

Respectfully, it is crazy IMO to see posters suggest winning by wide UD instead of KO's somehow lessens a great boxer's legacy. KO wins have never been valued more than UD wins throughout history. Fighting and defeating top tier opponents was always good enough.

I can't think of a great fighter whose legacy was reduced because they didn't "go for KO's" late in their career. It never has historically, why would it with Floyd?

Last time I checked, both Floyd and PAC were under 60 percent KO ratio.

Floyd never had huge pop and has brittle hands. Fighting to get a KO as he went up in weight could have cost him wins.

Floyd exposed Manny

Finally you've seen the light...

[Spoon23]

I want to see a rematch, but it's up to Floyd.

Yes it's up to Floyd to save face for a rematch. Since he fought like a vagina for 12 rounds of the worst super fight in recorded history for all that pussification that he did.

If there is a rematch it's for him to redeem himself for all that bore fest and lame boxing that he did. If he doesn't. Then history won't be good to him.

He fuvked up in the biggest night in boxing.


Floyd hung on to Manny like a drowning man holding on to a floating log. This guy is the most overrated boxer in history. No power..no offense..no guts...runs like a purse snatcher being pursued by police.... holds on for dear life every time he is about to b attacked..constant dirty tactics such as forearms to opponents face and neck...this guy is the biggest scam ever...his backers say he is a boxer not a fighter, I say he is neither...the state of boxing today is at its worse point for allowing this disgraceful decision, a decision that was rendered well before fight night!!!!


# Froid Roid needs this rematch to remove the vagina stench will forever be left in him for years to come. It won't go away.

# Pac don't need a rematch. He fought with one healthy arm and still pressed the action from pillar to post for 12 rounds. Now that's a mark of a true gladiator. I can't say the same for Froid though. The vagina stench will only get worse as the years go flying by.. And that's what I'm enjoying to this day.

[TripleGFightFan]

Manny should do like his bible says...and mind his own business...

[Spoon23]

Finally you've seen the light...

If your going to believe in Freddy. Don't forget this part as well.

You can't just believe in one thing without the other buddy.

Enjoy!

A piece of the article:

By: JERRY IZENBERG

Roach: "Look, if he means it about retiring, then more power to him, He's earned it. But if he changes his mind after what I saw tonight, yes, I would encourage him and I would not hesitate to train him again.

"When I see Manny Pacquiao like that, this is the best Manny Pacquiao. He hasn't missed a beat. I would like to see him fight again."

And there are big fights out there for him. Canelo Alvarez and Amir Kahn would draw big numbers. And then, of course, anybody who understands boxing knows that when Pacquiao tore his shoulder before and during the Mayweather fight, nothing — absolutely nothing — was truly settled on that night.

lol Then he isn't really TBE or a true "defensive genius" after all, is he?
