Simple-Minded Idiots Made Mayweather Rich

[Impractical Poster]

I bought it.

Didn't want to leave a fight of this magnitude up to a shotty stream. Also, didn't feel like wrestling with the crowds at a bar.

How did you guys who didn't pay for it see it?

We have magical abilities to see what happens far away. Some people call that Internet :)

There's so many things wrong with this thread I hardly know where to start.
To all the people that say they don't pay for sports on tv whether its a sporting event their watching or not is hard to believe.

1. Do you have a tv and did you purchase that tv ?
Then your paying.

2. Do you have a cable tv package and watch any kind of sporting event ?
Then by definition your paying.


Don't kid yourselves if you think your not paying.

Umm... yeah. This is usually how I view boxing and UFC PPVs. But, like I said, wasn't going to leave a fight this important to a shotty stream. If you have access to a free streaming site that guarantees unbroken play, please PM me the site.

Sorry let me translate this and you can tell me if i'm correct. You are basically saying the plebs are to stupid to STEAL a fight online so they are stupid? Furthermore unless you fight in a way that makes sure that only people with true power win then you dont deserve to get paid?

If i translated that correctly.. you sound kind of like a pretentious douche. I maybe wrong and in that case please reiterate for me, if im outright wrong apologies. If i was correct, i really hope that you and all the people who PROUDLY steal , get things stolen from you/them .

On to Mayweather, the way he fights is fine. For someone with brittle hands, and just enough punching power to keep people honest SOMETIMES.. he has done what people who have been gifted with better in both havent.. by honing what he does best which is defense. It would be like asking GGG to not hit as hard because not everyone hits as hard as he does or Prime RJJ to slow down because not everyone is as fast as he is.

Love him or hate him he is an ATG, and he took one of the atg offenses (if you dont believe pac to have one of the all time great offenses you are a hater) and shut it down within the rules of boxing. If he could do it to The buzzsaw that is MP he would have a pretty good chance of doing it to a lot of people who are ATG and are quoted above him because joe everyone knows their name because someone who is more knowledgeable about boxing said they're great.
Its like the jeopardy champ who went for the the big numbers first. People were salty about him not going in order yet he is the highest paid jeopardy champion of all time and considered the best.

Do i think Floyd is TBE? No.. not enough fights fought for that egg to ever be broken. Do i believe that prime for prime that there isnt a fighter to exist in the same weight class he campaigns that would DESTROY him 10/10 times? YES

Here's a tip- If you know of any place to watch the fights for free, keep that sh*t a secret.
Otherwise you'll know of a place where you used to watch fights for free.

I pay for internet, because I need it for work and other personal use. Most of people pay for internet, but many pay for PPV on top of that.

I don't see any mention of what these sites are. Just that they exist. Who doesn't know that?!

[diddy]

The notion that you pay for Internet so it's the same as paying for a PPV is absurd and silly. You pay for Internet because we basically MUST have Internet. You don't HAVE TO buy a PPV. You can get that stuff for free online. There's no need to pay extra. Make some damn sense would ya?

So to you, everyone who paid for the fight, especially those who attended paying thousands of dollars for the seats are Simple-Minded Idiots?

Tyson was there and he said that Floyd would get hit more than he ever has in any fight, I guess he's a double idiot for paying thousands in a fight he said Floyd would lose and for MP landing less than any of Floyd's previous opponents.

[diddy]

10-20K is like $50 to the celebs. And you can't stream a fight while ringside. It's a whole different experience.

exactly this, 100 %, everybody who paid money for this is dumb.

tyson is a good example, as good as he was as a fighter, he is simple minded and not known for being the brightest. a man who earned around 400 million dollar and end up with 0 is prety dumb to me.

[diddy]

Read the first post again. I'm not that talking about JUST this fight. I'm talking about every single Floyd PPV. The money adds up. The fights all look the same. Why would people have expected it to be any different this time? He's never gonna change his style. And that's the point. Why would he when people have been shelling out over and over and over again, merely confirming to him he doesn't need to change anything about the way he fights. THAT is my point.

[Chepppaaa]

yeah diddy, i said if so many times before, people are just overall stupid. its also a mytery to me how floyd became the richest boxer, while being so non fun to watch. i understand why, the blak community, stupid people in general and the episodes bravado, but yet still, cant understand it.

[SFW]

Calzaghe had worse hands than Money, going all the way back to when he was a kid. Yet he was still more exciting, far more offensive... that's his preference, but I think the majority of educated fans prefer action. The flighty style is fine it's overdoing it that's the problem. People won't be able to agree on where to draw the line.

So in essence you are stating that Floyd should risk his health by changing his style and become more risk adverse for the purpose of pleasing the crowd??

I thought it was the opponent's job to make the other guy fight his fight and not the other way around?? Maybe I've been misinformed on what "BOXING" means, I was always told that it was the art of hitting without being hit; the object was to win and be healthy enough to enjoy the money you've earned from prize fighting not be some paraplegic who a million bucks and a Ferrari that cannot speak.

The Pacquiao fans have been screaming for years that Floyd was scared to death of MP and that Manny was going to KO him, Roach even said that Packy could beat Money with one hand tied behind his back and that they were going to kick Floyd's ass.

Manny was supposed to be this inhumane wrecking machine that fired off rapid punches in bunches that would neutralize the shoulder roll and render Floyd ineffective but now that this didn't happen and Floyd Mayweather fought as he usually does then everyone is accusing him of running but not accusing Manny of being intellectually deficient on how to cut off the ring on him and not saying anything about his lack of effective offense to outland, outpunch and stop Floyd.

Why is this loss so hard for Manny Pacquiao and his fans, why can't they accept the Loss and walk away gracefully?

[diddy]

KBB, you're able to form coherent sentences and don't speak in some language that doesn't exist so I'm not lumping in you with the dopes of society.

However you keep making Pac references and think my comments have something to do with bitterness and that couldn't be further from truth. I plainly said Mayweather would win easily and bet on him before the fight. I'm no Manny fan. I'm a fan of interesting fights tho. Sugar Ray Leonard seems pretty coherent to me. He put on great fights. Floyd doesn't need to fight like Provodnikov to be interesting to watch. Asking him to be the aggressor once in a blue moon in a fight isn't an outlandish request. He's so insanely talented he doesn't need to revert to spoiling tactics in every minute of every fight.

[diddy]

To go one step further Floyd was asked why he fights. And what he fights for - before the Manny fight. He named a list of 5-6 things. He didn't once mention the fans. Yet the fans pad his pockets like no other. Amazing stuff.

floyd even said after the fight: the ultimate goal was to make 9 figures

he is a ego maniac, a money maniac, no wounder nobody cheered for him at the weigh in and during the fight.

[ClivePatrickLyons]

boxing fans are overall very stupid? 100 % yes. who watches wlad and mayweather fights more than once, paying for it. i mean i was at a wlad fight live once, but never again, you can fool me once, but not twice.

most people who watch a lot of tv are just bored lazy and lame. they do nothing exciting in life and watch anything to get them a bit excited. also, they are so stupid to buy into the 24/7 episode which are 10 times more entertaining than a floyd fight. and than there are those who just wanna see him lose, but if you do not like somebodys fighting style and you just wanna see him lose, why pay ppv money for it, why not just stream it.

He just heard that it was his Great Grand Dad Dave MORETTI Who scored the fight 118 /110

It took you all day to come up with that, huh? Too bad Moretti told them you sent him this pic of you crying because MP lost the fight.

[5burowz]

And a year from now, they'll make him even richer with the rematch.

[Badhusker]

Dear confused fans,

The reason Floyd boxes like he does and wins like he does.....is because he can. I don't think it is his fault that he doesn't have to fight full out and use all his tools to win. Would I like to see it? Absolutely! We did see much more of it in his younger days. I think of Roy Jones Jr. went through a similar phase where people questioned his greatness because he won so easily. Rocky Marciano - was in a weak era of heavyweights. Will Wlad suffer the same fate too?

Floyd wins the easiest way he can. Until someone beats him, why change? Pac was supposed to challenge him since he was the fighter of the decade, unpredictable, weird angles, a volume puncher, something Floyd has not seen before, etc, etc.

As far as people paying to see Floyd's fights? I would guess 75% pay to see him lose, and he laughs all the way to the bank. Its easy to say now, after the fact that people were dumb to pay for the fight. Captain obvious award goes to: Diddy!

CS really is full of hatred and ignorance. Anyone who wanted to pay for one of the biggest match-ups in the history of the sport are now simple minded idiots. But those who chose to stream it illegally and risk crappy content are the smart ones? Go figure...

Listen, I am not really a big Manny fan. I consider myself more of a Mayweather critic. If I had decided to lay down money on the fight, it would have been on Mayweather. However, I was rooting for Manny. The fight unfolded similar to how I thought it would. But, I wanted to be part of a historical event and view it the best way I could. Those that consider people like me simple minded idiots are quite intolerant and ignorant. Hey, I'm just as unhappy with how the fight went as you guys that are complaining, but at least I'm dealing with it in a rational, mature fashion. Most of you are lashing out any way you can, like a disgruntled elementary school bully.
