QBLA Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I used to watch boxing back in the day... Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Sugar Ray Leonard, Ray Boom Boom Mancini, Hearns, Roberto Duran... Watched off and on since then, I liked Lennox Lewis... I stopped watching after he retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candiru Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Not as exciting as watching some guy twiddling knobs on stage but not everything can be, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usagi Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 seems to be more hype in big boxing matches than sport. plus I hate technical play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDO Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 tbh it was amazing to me how FM could dodge so much stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sagan Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 tbh it was amazing to me how FM could dodge so much stuff. He's in the company of Pernell Whitaker and Willie Pep as one of, if not the, greatest defensive fighters of all time. However, I was still pretty unimpressed with his performance on Saturday. You're supposed to make em miss and make em pay. The only people that really payed were those who purchased a ridiculously overpriced PPV essentially to witness a low volume, pitter patter outpointing. But that's how it goes sometimes, especially with a guy like Floyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Reggae Lee Bowyer Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Watching this fight reminded me of watching Chelsea. Boring as fuck but got the job done. No disrespect to Chelsea. They were very entertaining for the first half of the season. Sometimes You gotta do what it takes to get the job done but I don't advise paying big money to watch it. Almost $100 to watch this fight was fucking outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraska Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 $400 million in tv revenue $550-$595 million in revenue which gives mayweather $210 million and pac-man about $143 million hope everyone enjoyed the fight. these guys sure did http://www.businessinsider.com/floyd-mayweather-manny-pacquiao-revenue-2015-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenGOD Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Comparing arctic drilling and this fight is a bit of a stretch, no? I mean yeah, mayweather and pacquiao both made a shit ton of money, but at what harm to others? This isn't like Wall Street scum, or oil corps ruining the earth for all. The only people who paid for this are the ones who chose to, whereas Shell drilling in the Arctic means we all pay, whether we choose to or not.

doublename Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Honestly, deep dicking PPV viewers is a better way to fund sporting events than ripping off every cable subscriber in the country as most sports leagues do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peace 7 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I dunno about you guys, but I work the fryer for 6 hours a day at Burger King and get paid about $3.5 million an hour. I buy a yacht or condo every week, and it's getting pretty retarded. I imagine someone in accounting has fucked up big time, but I'm gonna milk this baby until it's dead. Also, I do not recommend literally milking babies until they're dead, because it's probably illegal. And I don't mean marijuana illegal or "you're not the right color to drink from this water fountain" illegal-- I mean "this is not cool" illegal. So don't do that. I don't want to be responsible for a Daily Mail headline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
