Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao Money Trail Leaves Mixed Bag Of Emotions 5 Years Later

pac landed the better punches. was that always going to happen? you would think floyd would do better in 2009. but not pac of course...

Did he really?

Doesn’t matter. Pacquiao landing punches was expected. Hence the words “edging” and “competitive”. Mayweather was never going to go 12 rounds vs Pacquiao without several good punches landing on him.

It’s a boxing match. Punches will land, especially between two elites. Top 3 P4P. Punches will land. The question is were enough punches landed to give Pacquiao 7 rounds to 5?

[-Kev-]

how can someone watch a fight between 2 faded guys where one guy lands the much better punches and loses and say "well knew that would always happen" floyd would always win 8 rounds? 7 at worst? ok you think floyd won thats nice but how do you know that will always happen when both guys are so past it? i think pac won becasue as stated he was landing clean shots and flyod wasnt but i dont know that would always happen. maybe a better version of floyd actually lands clean shots and isnt so hesitant. maybe pac knocks him out. maybe floyd knocks pac out. neither guy established dominance over the other and neither guy was close to prime "that was always going to happen" lol

The best part is how Pacquiao was going to be so great in 2009-2010. But not Mayweather though. The Mayweather we saw in 2015 was the Mayweather we would’ve seen in 2010. But this doesn’t apply to Pacquiao. Pac would’ve been different.

They fought in 2015, both top 3 P4P but past their prime, Mayweather older. Won 8-4. But back in 2009 when Pac was younger, and Mayweather was still the same age as 2015, it would’ve been a slaughter for Pacquiao. He would’ve won like he won against Hatton. Actually Mayweather wouldn’t have made it to round 2.

Only Pacquiao benefits from the fight taking place in 2009-2010. Age doesn’t apply to Mayweather.

what if this scenario happened between 2 guys...

Guy A: you are a b-itch, i'm on 5th street. lets fight

Guy b: you want me to go to your turf no thanks.

Guy A: come here you scared! you scared!

Guy B: no, just dont trust that area

Guy A: pansy i knew you were a pansy im right here!

Guy B: ok thats enough, im coming to 5th street what time!

Guy A: .....uh you have to wear a blindfold when you come to fight(something Guy B would never agree to just like pac would never agree to 40 mlillion flat offer)

Guy B: wat....



according to people like shoulderroll Guy A was ready to fight. i mean just look at the first couple lines! proof!

What still blows my mind til this day is that there's actually fanboy idiots who think Pacquiao won that fight hahahahaha they get wet watching "why Pacquiao beat mayweather" videos rofl fight wasnt even close, mayweather dominated

[HewJohnson]

Should've been 3 fights.

Hundreds of millions dollars lost.

Yeah bro. I hear ya.
No way you have two phenomal boxers like that, the best of their era, go at it ONLY ONCE.
On top of that, not even in their prime. What a dud.

No GOAT has only gone once with their rival.

Fuggin Mayweather man.
As great as he is, he fugged it all up with his antics. Such a diva like quality. Diva fighting style but still respected because he’s a master at his craft but damn bro. Should’ve fought in 2009-2010, 2012, and 2015.
Fugged all that **** up.

“Dominated” lol. It was a game of tag ffs. I had mayweather winning, but it was no dominant performance for the ages, that’s for damn sure.

Pacquiao won the fight, so it doesn't matter. I mean Wilder lost 10 rounds to Wilder and goofballs said Wilder won, so people will just see what they want. Objectively, Pacquiao beat Floyd - he was the aggressor and landed the cleaner punches.

[Roadblock]

The article states that Pacquiao killed the fight in 2009 because he wouldn't do drug testing.

But then states that Mayweather was good at waiting for the right time to make fights.

You can't blame Floyd for waiting for the right time. He was ready in 2009 but it was Pacquiao who fucked it up.

This is what they dont get, Floyd was ready and willing in 2009, he reached out to Manny back then and when it finally was made it again was Floyd that reached out directly to Manny. Floyd made this fight happen, if it were left to Arum and Manny it would never have been made,

Look at todays environment, can you imagine the highest paying event in history and one refuses blood PED testing, how the fck did that happen and these people defend it, beats the hell out of me, if Floyd refused PED testing I would dis own him lol..

Stopping that fight in 2009 over drug testing, to this day I dont know how Manny got away with that and all these conditions he wanted for testing, fkn unreal.

Thats not how the vast majority of the world seen it, your little cry of desperation is like a grain of sand on the beach.

Honestly I think the delusional ones that like to write a lie so that they go along and live the lie, something is missing in them because deep down they know Floyd is the better fighter its not even close but they just cannot face it, they buffed their hero for so long and put him on such a pedestal when he failed its instant denial.

Cotto and dlh said in prime Pac would have destroyed floyd
