The only good things about the Pac-Clottey fight was...

[Majesty]

Well another good thing about the fight was that it exceeded the 45,000 seat limit and maxed out at close to 51,000 in attendance. Let's see an MMA event rival that. Fat chance. Hell I'm certain that a Floyd-Pac fight would sell out at any outdoor stadium, Lesnar and Fedor fighting probably couldn't do that.

Yeah, but wouldn't you agree that for the attendance that was a pretty piss poor night of boxing? Kinda bad when if the world is watching and you put on a crap performance if anything it will make people slide MORE to MMA

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of those 50,000 punters were thrilled with the fight - Pac was the seller. And certain they'd weigh-in again.

Plus the world wasn't watching from the TV side. That fight would not have gone close to breaking any PPV records.

I thought Pacquaio really got hit more than he could have or should have. The main thing he was getting hit with was that left uppercut, at least late, and it only happened when he just sat on the inside, with his foot speed and movement there was no reason to just be a sitting duck in there at times. But they didn't seem to bother him and maybe that had something to do with it, starting to think one of the more underrated things about him is his chin. The body shot KO was like a decade ago and other than that he just doesn't get hurt much. Strangely enough it was guys like Nedal Hussein, Oscar Larios that have seemingly bothered him as much as anybody.

I'm probably in the wrong thread, not like anybody's discussing any of this stuff.

There's some wonderful quotes from Arum in this article about last night's fight & a possible fight with Mayweather. Seriously I don't know how he gets so little blame for it all going south on that negotiation.

No sense in ducking Pacquiao-Mayweather - Boxing - Yahoo! Sports

Here's the highlights from Arum's burst of verbal shitspewing

“There was no way Clottey was going to beat this guy, even if he took off his gloves and fought him bare-fisted,” Bob Arum, the fight’s promoter.

“You don’t negotiate,” Arum said, bringing up World War II history. “Neville Chamberlain negotiated with Hitler in Munich and look what happened.”

I can't believe he actually compared Mayweather to Hitler

Not to mention that he basically told us he sold everyone a sparring session. After him telling the fans they could 'go fuck themselves' regarding a Lopez/Gamboa fight, he really is on a roll. I hate this bastard so much.

Oh yeah & I agree with everything OumaFan said. Not that anyone is discussing it.
