Thread: Was it worth it.

Well the biggest money grossing fight in boxing history has been and gone,! was it a let
down or what you expected ,! myself it was a fight for the purist it did lack excitement
but it was a Floyd fight, Floyd don't do excitement does he.

I am so glad I did not pay. Suckers for those that did.

Thank you Mr careful you have made my day.

I paid for it but I also won £20 on it so really it didn't cost me anything

Fight wasn't great at all, but wasn't horrible. I'm glad I paid, but wish I could've seen a little more drama. Floyd definitely seemed off last night, can't remember him ever being so down/dejected between rounds like he was mid fight.

Manny also seemed to have an off night, although I think Floyd's defense and movement had a lot to do with that. For what was on the line I expected both to go for broke and try to close the show, but Manny couldn't and Floyd wouldn't. Neither really suffered much punishment in this fight, but I didn't think either looked nearly as good as they did in their primes.

Floyd has already said he will have another fight and I'm sure Manny has at least one more in him. Neither will make big money unless they fight a big name, so it will be interesting to see who each chooses. Floyd's best options (in order) would be: Cotto, Thurman, Danny Garcia and then Khan. Manny should fight Danny Garcia and then retire.

It was as I expected but we will not see a fight of this magnitude anytime soon. Probably the last ppv I will order especially at that cost.

Until the next one.

I thought Pacquiao would have fought a more ballsy fight and forced Mayweather into some dynamic exchanges. What happened last night... that's what Mayweather does, it should be no surprise to anyone. People bought into the fight on the notion that Pac would be different from all of the other opponents and really put leather on Mayweather and force him into an exciting fight.

It Was Never Worth It,

Only for Floyd, Manny, the Promoters, Hotel Casino and Lawyers.

What has changed............

You can't be serious and say Danny Garcia Vs Mayweather.

Danny Garcia is so slow, that he'll come 3rd in a two man 100m race and your gonna have to measure his race time with a calendar.

Danny Garcia's luck is running out. I thought he was lucky to beat Peterson and Herrara.

Cotto ? Why fight someone he has beaten before fair and sq ?

Khan ? That would be interesting. Thurman ? I just don't think he has the style to beat Floyd.

Cotto gets Floyd the lineal middleweight title and will sell to Hispanics and casual fans. Agree that Garcia is overrated n that is why I say he would be the right guy for Floyd to take on (undefeated, limited and flawed fighter). Thurman is big and hyped, Floyd schools him like he did Canelo. Khan is chinny but has a HUGE Brit following and is viewed as a legitimate threat. Of that group I feel like Khan is the biggest threat at this point, but is still the underdog.

I thought it was a cracking fight, went exactly how I expected (apart from the scorecards being a little closer).

Floyd's defense was superior to Manny's offense. Great showing for two old boys.

Anyone that ever thought they were gonna get Hagler-Hearns, Benn-G Man or Gatti-Ward - "don't know shit about boxing"

((I didn't buy it, I'm turning into Master))

I stayed up for it and radio 5 live was 20 seconds behind the fight I was watching. Still worth staying up for. Not paying.
