Good video.

[Jip]

i wanted to make a thread about that. this is so funny.

"did he hit me"
"running, running, back hugging"
"just enough to win the round"
"it feels like i was almost sparring, cause there was no real fight"

post 2000 people are just stupid, in no way would boxing fans in the 80 or 90 have praised floyd with his style. in these days with tyson, tito, chavez and tszyu the focus was on action. nobody liked much the boxing style of hopkins or lewis, cause they were boring, yet 10 times more entertaining than floyd, even so floyd was prety boy not money and was well more entertaining than when he became more famous.

in the 80-90 boxing fans had common sense, you bring action, we wanna see you fight and if you boring, we change the channel. post 2000 fans became stupid, maybe because of to much use of smartphone or whatever. now they paid hundreds of dollars to watch somebody run (floyd) floyd was not a superstar back than.

Floyd is responsible for the worst major PPV boxing match in the history of the sport, given it's magnitude.

Seriously, has there ever been a bigger let down?

no. close is holyfield/tyson II, the multiple times head butting from evander was worse than mike bite, bad ppv, but floyd/pac was the most boring ppv big event ever

All Floyd's fault? Did you expect a new style? Floyd did what he always does. Manny wasn't good enough to make it his style fight. Quit crying.

That fight wasn't even a letdown to me. It went exactly the way I thought it would. I don't know why anyone ever expected anything else from that fight than what we got personally.

Floyd was well established by then, people should've known what they were paying for when they pay that kinda money. If people bought that fight expecting a slugfest they're morons.

I understand that. But, a whole lot of casual fans tuned in for that garbage as well. More so for this fight than any other fight in history. The backlash this fight caused was historic. This is why it is the biggest let down in the history of the sport.

And don't forget the last two rounds of Floyd/Canelo! Where Floyd pranced around the ring with Canelo standing in the middle begging him to fight. I knew that would set the tone for the Pac fight.

Not the biggest let down for me. It sucked. But a lot of excitement went on there.

You act like Floyd was the only one in the ring. Pacquiao could have pressed the action, had a better game plan. He had about 5 years to figure it out. There are a lot of stupid casual fans out there. People blow their money on stupid things all the time. So what? Put all the blame on Floyd and none on Pac? The biggest letdown in the history of the sport? That is such a stupid outrageous statement it is funny. Personally I think anyone is an idiot that pays $100 for a ppv.

[klitoris]

I don't think that most people understand why people bought PPVs of Floyd.

- big chunk who bought PPVs watched in hope of seeing Floyd lose. I mean any boxing fan would be pissed if they didnt buy the PPV in which floyd got ktfo
- fans of the fighter he was fighting
- some african-americans watching out of racial pride
- sprinkle in some boxing purists who enjoy watching good defensive skills

Put all of this together and you got a solid viewership. But this viewership instantly collapses the moment floyd loses. But floyd didn't lose.

I knew loads of non boxing fans that paid for the fight on the basis "well its supposed to be the fight of the century or something", needless to say they were all left scratching their heads as to why it wasn't a blood and guts affair

Pretty spot on description

Were you unfamiliar with Money May’s fighting style before you watched the Mayweather-Pacquiao super-fight?

Did you expect that contest to be the second coming of Gatti-Ward?

[lazboy]

If Pac had let his hands go maybe there would of been a knock down or knockout in the fight. Yes, if Manny let his hands go there would be a greater chance he would have been KOed or dropped, as it would have given Floyd more opportunities to counter him. Shame on you Pacquiao.

Let's not be daft. I understand how Floyd fights. But given the magnitude of the bout, I was hoping he would take a few risks, and or I was also hoping Manny could force him into some exchanges. I was wrong on both parts. As Berto stated, Floyd has made an art out of doing the least he can do to win a fight, with doing as little engaging as possible. I guess you can blame Manny as well. But, the simple fact, that Floyd fans cloud, is that one of those boxers actually came to fight, the other didn't.

I pretty much figured Floyd would try and stink the joint up, but a lot of the casuals who tuned in thought they were going to be watching the fight of the century the way it was built up. And again, in this perspective, it let down horribly. Biggest PPV of all time, an all time flop. I don't think it's up for debate really. Even if the die hards knew what to expect, the sales predicted otherwise.

We saw the same Floyd Mayweather we've seen in his previous 47 fights. Unfortunately, we didn't see the same Manny Pacquiao, because he got out-boxed.

It would have been silly of Money May to unnecessarily provide opportunities to the Filipino Hall-of-Famer, just for the sake of exciting the fight fans, since he was winning the fight comfortably.

Manny Pacquiao didn't adapt or even attempt to implement plan B, since he kept doing the same things round-after-round, but somehow fight fans blame Floyd, which doesn't make sense.

Yet he talks like he's Tyson and Dempsey rolled into one. Its this disparity between the persona he adopts and his fighting style that let's everyone down.

And guess what? He'll spin the whole spiel again with McGregor, and this time piss off a different group of paying fans.

Wow. Never heard him interviewed before. Real straight shootin' character.

I watched this very interesting video last night. Berto's explanation of Mayweather's approach is great.

A lot of fighter's should learn the subtle things that Floyd does that separates him from his peers.

Oscar/Tito for me.

[montrealsuper]

Obvious fix - soft sparring session -AH owned both and we knew which one was his $ fighter - Berto was there but he knew he wa$nt $uppo$ed to win - WWE choreography produced and $cripted by AH

[SaadOffTheDeck]

Yeah, such a pity Berto wasn't allowed to unleash his furious genius on a softy like Floyd.
