Meh. Boooooring. Anybody pay for that hot mess?...Boxing may have just died. MMA seems to be a lot more exciting.
It doesn't say much for the future of boxing when the "fight of the century" occurs only 15 years into the century
I am an avid combat sports fan. Did not pay for it, but I did watch it. Not the most exciting fight for sure, but you cannot deny Mayweather's incredible skill. 48 fights and has never even been knocked down. He's easily the most elusive fighter ever, and maybe even the best pure boxer ever. I'm sure fans, especially those who decided to watch only this one fight (vs regular day to day boxing fans) did not like the fight, but there is much more to this two men punching til one drops. Sometimes to evenly matched fighters make war, more often it's a chess match.
FM is the Ray Rice of boxing. Something something about Manny and a bad arm, taking on a multi million match, though he wasn't 100%...Boxing may have died. Manny may well go on to bigger things (president). Floyd has some issues. With women, it seems.
It is a little frightening to say the least that he has so many fans out there despite being an abusive SOB. Boxing is over. When a boxer, #1 overall, uses his talent to punch a woman in the face, on more than one occasion, it ceases to be a sport. Yes, other sports have morons who are abusive (baseball, football, etc) bur not the face of the sport.
Boxing has always been a rigged activity. It's hard to think of it as a competition or sport when the Champs can pick if, who or when they fight.
Would like to see Ronda Rousey get puched out in the octagon. She is such a beyotch. Never heard her say anything nice or intelligent. The matches are even more boring (is that possible) than most womens fights.
