Did it save boxing? Laughable cover.

Those pink gloves sure didn't save boxing.

Had to poke fun, I like Mayweather though!

Yeah... especially when he was wearing them for breast cancer asshole.. j/k, but it was for Breast cancer Barret wore pink ones as well against Valuev the week prior I believe.

I think the fight really made people remember boxing, it certainly has seemed like there have been way more BIG fights in boxing since that one. I think that fight got a lot of other guys off their asses to face eachother.

I am surprised to hear many boxing fans (not just casual ones) diss this fight. Let's remember, we have 2 of boxing's greatest boxers ever and you expected them to go in the middle of the ring and just punch away Rock 'em Sock 'em style? Both fought cautiously and smart, tactic fight.



Danny,
Gotta agree with you. They both made a lot of money. Not only that but they both walked just fine out of the ring unlike others who make money and almost have to be carried on a stretcher after the fight. You know who I am talking about .

NO.

But I'm guessing the one on Dec. 6 will... because of the guy replacing PBF's place...

This bout hurt boxing, if it did anything. It didn't attract people who hadn't watched boxing before....because it was as shitty as John Ruiz fights. I mean based on that fight, if I had never watched boxing before......and thought that fight was as good as it gets......my ass would be on a tennis forum with legion right now.

And die hard fans knew it would be shitty before it started. The actual event just confirmed our suspicions. It was like a presidential race.....just two people fighting and you are cheering for the one you dislike less.


This was a fight to attract popped collar frat boys, Taeth, and other people to have a small homoerotic snack parties. I think it is cute.

Anyone that thinks they are bigger than a sport and are saving it......that is egotistical beyond reason. Mark my words: History will not shine favorably on PBF or ODLH.

I honestly didn't find this fight boring at all i enjoyed it, it was actually a bit of a better fighter than i expected. Plenty of skill and some good exchanges, and it was a good competitive fight for atleast 9 rounds until Floyd Mayweather went into a 2nd gear.

I think this fight could have overall hurt it from a casual fan standpoint... They hear about it... Buy it and then see it's garbage...
