Comments Thread For: Abel Sanchez: Mayweather-Pacquiao Hurt The Ward-Kovalev PPV

Revisionist! Floyd literally spent sections of the fight running away.

And peop,e expected Floyd to fight because in the build up that's exactly what Floyd said he was going to do. He kept saying it, then decided to spend the first few rounds doing it and got hit. After that it was back foot all night with lame jabs.

Maybe that's good form, but fans ****ing hate it.

Don't usually agree with your posts but you're on the money right here. Good post.

Sanchez talks a lot of smack and is annoying at times but have to agree with him here. May-Pac hurt the boxing landscape and ppv in general but it'll bounce back like it always does. 2017 is looking hot already with Thurman-Garcia starting it off.

By a few thousand, and it was two p4p boxers where the winner was supposed to come out p4p best.

That's on the fans because neither fighter has had a knockout in years

What slug-fest was May apart of at WW? Floyd BOXES to WIN, BOXING Matches. Why would Floyd go against what got him over 40 wins, Pac's reckless style was put to rest by JMM. You guys that dont box and claim floyd is a light puncher, dont know boxing. Why didnt Maidana just walk through his punches...cause its not so light and easy as you guys would like to believe. Pac gave up when he knew in the first 3 rounds that Floyd was quicker and more accurate. And if you think you beat floyd WHY was he blaming his shoulder????? Why did he say immediately after that the reason he couldnt do nothing to floyd was that floyd was moving too much. If you're up on the cards, why would you risk losing when your objective is to WIN??? Your objective is to WIN if its entertaining thats just a +, if floyd didnt show his boxing skill and lost IN AN EXCITING SLUG FEST you wouldve said Pac was the better BOXER. But Floyd proved forever that he was the better BOXER. FLOYD NOR PAC MADE ANYBODY BUY THEIR FIGHT people did that on their own. But of course NO ONE takes the blame for THEIR OWN MISTAKES.

Plus both fighters hasn't had a knockout in years

Manny pursued the entire fight. So floyd killed the ppv draw. Facts. Gotta come to fight, not survive. That is what floyd did for the majority of the bout. Facts

You Pacquiao fans idea of a good fight is Mayweather's feet glued in one place to give Pacquiao free shots. Different styles, while I respect Pacquiao's style and have loved watching him fight because he's exciting ..there is also poetry in motion, there is flair and just as impressive watching someone toy with beasts and sap their soul. If you can't see that then go watch UFC or Gladiators.

Fixed that for you. And yes, I know casuals like their MMA. But this is boxing, son. Hit and don't get hit. I'm sorry you don't like that, but it is.

As far as "sections of the fight running away", let me help you on that.



I see a guy in TBE right in front of Manny. I see a guy in Manny who can't cut off the ring.

Sorry to educate you, but that's not "running", that's called ring generalship.

Abel Sanchez, best known at the moment as being the head trainer of middleweight king Gennady Golovkin, believes the disappointing pay-per-view figures for Andre Ward vs. Sergey Kovalev was a direct result of the backlash from the 2015 mega-bout between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.
