It was just the tremendous excitement that was promised the casual fans that really wasn't good for boxing in general. I feel for them. They paid top dollar for a fireworks display. They feel duped and I don't blame them. I really think I got my money's worth watching PPV and I am now excited for Floyd's future specially with him being near that mythical 50 - 0 record. And I guess it's for promotion purposes to cash in on the billed fight of the century for both fighters and their camps/promoters etc to hype it up as much as they did. I was also expecting something more exciting but I don't blame it on any one fighter since we all know Manny struggles against good counter punchers and defensive boxers and we know Floyd is one of the best if not the best defensive fighters out there. We all know this was going to happen but gotta feel sorry for the casual fans who bought into it expecting it to be something else. Honestly I felt this was a blow to boxing just because of the disappointment that casual fans felt. And let's face it there were a lot more of them than boxing fans who watched the fight.
