Mayweather vs Pacquiao

[gilesfan]

Pretty great write up by Drew.

I don't follow boxing at all, but it was the worst sporting event in recent memory. If boxing wasn't dead already, someones pondering pulling the plug.

These guys made 100 million a piece; please don't tell me boxing is dying.

I do not really like boxing and I'm a huge MMA fan, but the that's the truth.

Boxing is pretty damn dead dude. They made more than that, but it hardly means it isn't dead.

If this is the best fight that the sport could muster together for the passed 20 years and that product was the "fight of the century" ?!...its hammer dead.

I know of 8 guys that won't be renting a boxing PPV anytime in the future.

I haven't purchased a boxing pay per view in 15 years. That doesn't mean it's dead though.

Just like the purse size doesn't mean its alive.

That was the best product boxing could put together in 20 years means boxing is pretty lifeless.

Do you remember guys like Sweat Pea? It's not uncommon for a champion to be a point fighter.

Boxing still has 3 of the 5 top PPV buys out of combat sports in the past year.

That video was made before the fight happened too.

Anyone surprised by this doesnt know anything about boxing. Played exactly put as expected. Money not putting himself in trouble and point fighting.

I think PacMan wins 3-4 years ago tho

Money clearly won this fight. i was rooting for Pac and he won 4 rounds tops.

This.

Betting on Mayweather was easy money. There was a 1% chance of anything other than a Mayweather decision win happening.
