Got to agree that Mayweather won that fight. Looked like Pacquiao had a chance in the 4th to take over, but Mayweather was just to fast and had an advantage with his reach. Not much of a fight.
I see today Pacquiao had a bad shoulder heading into the match. Two great athletes, too bad it wasn't more exciting.

That was a huge waste of time and money. The sport of boxing is dying. A guy can run around the ring for 12 rounds and win? Pacquiao was the aggressor the entire time and I felt like he was the winner.
Needless to say, I will NEVER waste my time or money watching boxing again.

I quit watching boxing when it went pay per view.

And people wonder why boxing is dead. This is a great example. Glad I was in the northern WI wilderness and missed it.

I personally thought it was fixed. Just my honest opinion, and I'm not the conspiracy theory type to say the very least. Just seemed awfully fishy to me.
I mean watch older matches like Hagler v. Hearns (the War) for example. That is boxing. This crap that I saw with Mayweather and Pacquiao wasn't boxing at all. It was just two old guys running around the ring hugging each other and occasionally throwing punches to make it appear somewhat realistic. It just reeks of a money grab.

it was definitely more of an "event" than a boxing match. And I can also see Steelers Yak's side that Pacquiao was more aggressive and could be seen as the winner in that sense. It's just to me no matter what Pacquiao was doing, he couldn't beat Mayweather's defense.

By defense you mean the dancing around and hugging? I guess I don't understand how that is boxing. So if they both "boxed" like Mayweather and danced around the ring and hugged each other, who would win? The one that skipped around faster?
And now Mayweather is saying he will fight Pacquiao in a year after he heals. Yea, ok.
I also saw a tweet that Mayweather made more money from that fight than the top 5 picks of this years draft will make over the next two years.
