400 million dollars worth of revenue from this fight. I'm not saying Karl Marx had the right idea or anything...... They hyped up a fight to what could happen. Fans bought in. What could happen and what did is completly different.

This would have been a much better fight 5 years ago.

Didn't bother watching the fight, but I'm stunned about the amount of people surprised about how it was a boring fight. It featured Floyd Mayweather for crying out loud, the guy has made a career out of doing exactly that!

I'm shaking my head at people whining about this fight. I guess I'm in the minority, but Mayweather's ability to not get punched fascinates me. He's such a good defensive fighter, and it's a marvel to watch.

He's such a good defensive fighter, and it's a marvel to watch. The guys he goes up against are slower than he is. At this stage in his career, if he had to fight someone with his speed or superior speed, he'd lose easily. He has no power and he has a weak chin. It'd be a very one-sided fight.

Skip Bayless going on a Twitter rant saying Manny won the fight and that we're all being brainwashed by what the judges say...
Seriously, Skip Bayless is NO good at his "job", whatever that is supposed to be.

We will all probably be really old before another interesting thing happens in boxing.

I saw more exciting action in the Roddy Piper/Hollywood Hogan match at Halloween Havoc 1997. At least that had Savage jumping off a big ass cage. There were like 2 big punches in the supposed "biggest fight ever" and neither of them even got a knock down.

I didn't watch the fight as I pretty much gave up on PPV Boxing a LONG time ago, but I will repeat everything I said on twitter.
This fight was fruitless in the end because no matter how much Mayweather wants to say he is, no one other than himself is ever going to say Mayweather is the best boxer of all time. No one is going to do it. Won't even break the Top 5 and not even sure if he could break Top 10. This was just an exercise of a fight that was way past the point of care for me. They had there chance to make history and the only history they are making is jipping people out of a lot of money. Years later, people will look back on this fight (those who paid) and say "I was one of the ones who bought that fight and it really wasn't worth it."

He don't CARE ABOUT STATS, all he knows is Manny passed the EYE TEST! Manny is classy and honest, and he thinks he won, and Mayweather has BRAINWASHED YOU ALL WITH WORDS. Smoke and Mirrors. Lol... Srs, dude?

I hope Robert Flores knocks Stephen A. Smith out here. I'd mark so hard.
