MAYWEATHER / PACQUIAO - Saturday Night - FIGHT THREAD- TR/HBO/SKY

[Lefty08]

I had already stated here that I want Pac to win. It's not one of those things where I'll be destroyed if Mayweather wins..... I'd just rather the nicer guy win.

HOWEVER............. regardless of who wins, there is one thing I DO want from this fight:

GREATNESS


I want it to live up to the hype.
I want it to have ebb and flow.
I want both fighters to be in trouble at some point in the fight.
I don't want a one-sided beatdown.
I don't want a controversial decision.
I don't want the fight stopped on cuts.
I don't want a fouling contest.
I don't want incompetent reffing to ruin the fight.
I'd prefer a knockdown or two.

In short........

I want the casual fan off the street to say:

"DAMN! So THAT'S what boxing's all about. I had no idea. I am a boxing fan now!"


If that happens, our sport wins and we all win.

Amen!

Call me a bitter old man, but I'm a bit disappointed that we aren't getting more of the undercard bouts in the UK? Five hours is a flippin long time, and although they are full length bouts, their maximum length is 36 minutes each, meaning that before the ring walks, there will be a minimum of 3 hours 48 minutes of talk, videos, analysis etc as a part of the PPV. That's likely to bore me silly, I need some actual entertainment to watch if I'm paying for a PPV.
