Question/Poll re: Pac v Mayweather Ratings???

BTW, maybe a Mod could add a poll if there should be a poll.

I'll say C.

The on and off nature of the negotiations has pissed me off, as I'm sure is has many hardcore fans, but I don't think it will deter anyone from watching. Most casual fans probably don't know all that much about the negotiating process and will still buy the fight.

However, I do think the fighters may have hurt themselves in not making the fight sooner. A few months ago it seemed like all anyone could talk about was Pacquiao - Mayweather, even those who usually ignore the sport, and I think some of that hype has slipped away.

I think Diz can edit his post to put in a poll if he wants to.

Oops I totally forgot to add the poll...

It's okay I guess we can just leave it as a discussion....

im afraid this fight has lost its momentum, i was so up for this after pac/cotto but its starting to play out like a soap opera now, and in a way is making a mock of the sport.
So i guess im saying A.

I agree with all the existing comments...

When the fight finally gets announced, both of these guys need to earn some of their credibility and respect back that they've lost through this crap...

The thing is, after all this, Mayweather's trash talking on 24/7 and such is kind of redundant... They have both proved to be pussyish when it comes to negotiations and stepping up the plate to give the other guy a whooping,,, letting politics, money, principles stand in the way of being true warriors.... So I gotta say after all this, I won't be able to stand hearing much of Mayweathers crap, and I think he'll probably realise their isn't as much room for it as usual when you've been part of the reason the most demanded fight in boxing has been put off for at least 6 months....

I think they really need to have a cracking promotion of this fight, because im sure people will still be buying the fight, but the fight has lost some of it's lustre.. Which I think has some with the fighters losing some of their lustre through making everyone in the boxing community sick of them...

Honest to god, I really thought this drama was just about pre-fight hype. But the thing is, the fight contract is sittin' somewhere in the "big boy mansion". Mayweather is not gonna sign the dotted line. Nah-uh, the coward is gonna wait til someone beats Pac and unretire himself again. Because he knows that's the only way he can claim his throne back as the best boxer on the planet. And ofcourse, Pac will keep fighting until he starts heading down the hill and start sucking. Cuz that's all ATG warriors do... they fight to the finish. Damn it Floyd. Just sign the damn contract. Prove you're not a fukking coward. You owe this to all boxing fans.

Absolutely right.

I say "C", but i def wont be buying it as the last PPVs haven't turned out to be worth the 50 bucks....And this will be just another PBF one sided fight that everyone will be sold on the "possibility" of him losing...
