    Default Did "The Ghost" throw the fight???

    I dunno. something smells rotten!! all the talk,"I'm gonna pound and put a major beating on Mayweather!!" It had me sold for a entertaining fight, so I bought it.

    Ripped off again. Guerrero didn't do shit. He hardly tried, and seemed content to try to box with floyd ( which is retarded!!). The Ghost could have cut off Mayweather numerous times, but let him off every time it seemed. Where was this much talked about PRESSURE there wasn't none. it was 40% of the pressure I thought I would see from The Ghost. IF THAT!!! Fans were booing!!!

    He totally slipped into Floyds game plan. all too willingly. how could he not give 100% trying

    Guerrero Sr woulda scrapped better!!!

    VERY DISAPPOINTED in The Ghost, and I'm thinking this whole fight was planned & set up for lil' Floyd. The Ghost gets a fat payday and walks away.

    Vegas is just too damn corrupt for me to buy this horseshit result....

    Haha, people like you are absolutely priceless. You hate Floyd so much that paid 60 dollars because you thought he might lose to a guy who was clearly never in his class and had never given any indication that he could even be competitive in the fight. Yet once it's done and you should have realized this, some sort of cognitive dissonance overcomes you to the point where you are actually suggesting Guerrero laid down. Hilarious man, really.

    Hey don't be such a dick.

    I've yet to see the fight, and I doubt Guerrero threw it, but he may have/did con his way into getting the fight.

    Don't think I really am being one, its just the reality of this. If Guerrero wasn't worthy of the fight beforehand that's even less reason to buy it, surely? Meanwhile this is a post from a guy who claims to HATE Mayweather on a personal level, while he is exactly the guy making him so much money regardless of the opponents he picks. The irony is funny to me, that's all.

    First of all, yes you were being a dick.
    Secondly, look up the definition of irony, it's a tricky word and commonly misused.

    The guy probably didn't mean that Guerrero threw it for Floyd to win, he likely meant that maybe Guerrero just accept losing for the decent payday without getting hurt or knocked out.

    Didn't seem the usual from him, and Floyd wasn't doing anything special.

    Yes he was. I don't even like him, but I appreciate his skills . He had an amazing performance.

    It was an utterly predictable result, Guerrero isn't really capable of anything that would've made it a close fight. If somebody hates Mayweather for his "money" persona and the perceived cherry picking of opponents, yet is swayed by pre fight hype to the point where they will actually buy his a PPV in hopes of seeing him lose to an inferior fighter, that is ironic. Look it up yourself Einstein.

    Buyers remorse I suppose. Hey, I payed the same...the first ppv I've purchased in at least 2 years. But it wasn't so much to see Mayweather get his chin checked as it was on paper a quality and deep card. As it turns out the best fight ironically was the 1st between Love v Rosado?! I did give Guerrero the slightest chance, and I think he did all he could and never pussed out..but a plan imagined is far different from a plan ventured. He didn't throw it, Mayweather just threw more.

    You shouldn't underestimate what Floyd does, even if it looks mundane.

    Everything he does is special.

    What I will say though, is that Floyd kinda did a great job of hyping up and promoting what turned out to be a glorified tune-up.

    By winning titles in 2 different divisions and than beating 2 top 10 welterweights. A lot more fighters should con there way into fights like that. Guerrero might not of belonged in the ring with Mayweather but he earned the right

    I've only just watched the fight and I dont get where this is coming rom at all? Im not quite sure where the 'he didnt belong in the same ring' talk is coming from either?

    Early on in the fight I liked what Guerrero was doing. He was attacking Mayweather intelligently. OK he might not have had massive success but he was fighting Floyd Mayweather for Gods sake.

    I kinda zoned out a bit during some middle rounds, I just cant listen to that pathetic Whooooooooo every time Mayweather landed a right hand, actually he didnt even need to land it for the pantomime fans amongst the crowd to wet their pants.

    I thought Guerrero did a good job and aquited himself well. Lets not forget he was fighting one of the finest fighters ever!

    By our absurd logic no one deserves to get a fight with Floyd, ever.
    When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough

    What a bunch of nonsense. He didn't earn the fight? He's a multiple weight class champ who came up to WW and took the belt.

    He threw the fight because he didn't deliver his promise? There have been 44 guys who fought Mayweather who didn't deliver their promise.

    I love how it's more plausible to believe he threw the fight than to believe, hey, maybe Floyd Mayweather is actually really good at not getting hit.

    Vegas is not corrupt, they are right up front about it, they want every fucking dollar you have.
    Everything about Vegas is focused on parting you from your money. Do not go to Vegas expecting a handout or a fair deal.
    The food is great, drinks are reasonable or free, the shows are terrific, the women are fantastic, the gambling can be fun, the glitter and lights are exciting, but it's all focused on your wallet.
    Vegas doesn't have to be corrupt, everyone comes with their wallets open and ready to spend.
    Your mistake was underestimating Floyd. If Floyd keeps fighting long enough he will lose, but don't bet against him.
    Don't be pissed at Guerrero, Floyd beat all his other opponents too. A lot of people wanted another result, but none of them are suggesting Guerrero gave anything but his best effort.
    Don't blame it on Vegas or Guerrero, Floyd did it.
