I've watched the fight without sound over a dozen times.. it was far from a one sided affair, 2 of the 3 scorecards were plain wrong. But the right guy won. People will probably want to see it again, and even a third of the revenue for the first fight is still the biggest payday out there.
Their one fight was enough. I was going for Pacman but he was frustrating to root for as he knew what Floyd was doing and couldn't do a damn thing about it.
Every round showed me that Floyd was better and there was 12 rounds. So Floyd is 12 times better than Pacman.
Pac would win another fairly boring fight and get robbed again anyway. At this point Floyd only wants the circus fight with MacGregor because of the mainstream crossover appeal.

I had him winning comfortable too. You wonder what some folk are watching at times! Suppose a lot of the time it's down to interpretation and what you prefer but I couldn't even make a case for that fight being close. I haven't even watched it again it was that bad. I usually like to watch a fight the next day then maybe again after a couple days but I just couldn't be arsed with watching it again. Anti climatic!

I've said the same thing numerous times. It's time to move on. I hope we never see either in the ring again
Same with this McGregor crap. What an absolute joke! An amatuer fighting arguably the greatest fighter of a generation. Roy Jones got dogs abuse for more or less the same thing a couple of months back!
The problem is the pussification of the average man. The soft, increasingly weak mentality that somehow rewards disengagement and avoiding contact at all costs.

have a feeling its something about Manny's persona where I actually believe he'll time Floyd's bald head even better in fight II. Floyd feels the same
way because why in the world would he not want a Manny vs Floyd II??? He gave Maidana a second fight for only 30million payday its obvious he's
pulling a Sugar Ray vs Hagler bitch move Floyd KNOWS Manny will time that shiny bald head really something nice if they were to fight
again.
If this was actually true, praise be to Mayweather, because I for one do not want to watch these two fight again.
It was bad enough the two of them made us wait for the best part of seven years before they locked horns, but when they did, it was one of the most turgid 'big' fights I've ever witnessed.
One wouldn't & the other one couldn't & that just about sums it up.
Mayweather needs to stick to tweeting & Pacquiao needs to stick to politics!

You should both watch it back WITHOUT SOUND. No matter what the fight, or how one sided it is, re watching without sound will change your scoring.... so I'm told
"Canelo just KOd Khan"
"Bollocks, I watched it back without sound and that clearly never happened , you try it without sound you'll see"
Not sure if there are a number of people in concert with one another here.
Kind of odd considering Floyd looks retired, he seems more interested in promoting his brand in whatever form it comes in.

Deaf boxing fans must have a fucked up scorecard
That's something I've never done if I'm honest. If I'm watching a live fight I have the sound on but I'm usually concentrating so I kind of tune it out. I watch it a bit more relaxed the next day and take on board what the commentators are saying. With Sky you'd be as well to just have the sound off all the time though. I enjoy Barry Jones on BN. He's usually spot on.

Ricky I respect your opinion on most things.
This fight is not one of them.
I have watched this fight at least a half dozen times and no matter how I look at it the closest I can score this fight is 8-4 Floyd.
I just think it is your hatred of Floyd that blinds you on this topic
No disrespect intended. I just don't think you can be objective on the subject
