Okay, I am going to Buffalo Wild Wings to go watch the boxing match.

I'll tell you who won when I get back.

Also, I will probably be very wasted...no worries though, I will call a cab.

I think that may well be the most depressing sentence ever typed.

Don't just say, "the Tecate Girl" like she's some lowly employee. She has a name, you know. It's "nietzche's mom." Or, Mrs. Nietzche's Mom, to you.

I stand corrected.

Is that really the best girl they could find to be a showgirl?

I'm about to go grab some breakfast and watch the fight with a fresh OJ in hand. Who should I cheer for?

Pacquiao because he s asian and is the underdog! Worse hour for me 5am. They couldn t do worse. No way i ll wake up at 5.

lool. During the last football world cup all the games were kicking off at 12am, 3am and 6am BJ time. Made for some pretty draining nights.

It s almost 3 am here and i m considering it.. But I know i ll fall asleep. When i try to watch nba games starting at 2-3am i always fall asleep during the third or fourth quarter.
But i m pretty sure that this will be over in 2 rounds max. Mayflower will send him back to his promissing singing career. Any of you ever saw pacquiao sing?

mayweather wins. unanimous decision.

They actually had an MGM Girl (a blonde) to compete with Tecate Girl. The decision was still split down the middle!

The "P" guy lost in a decision anyway. Merryweather won by hugging and jabbing because of his reach differential.

Unless of course you include me putting a gun into my mouth and blowing my brains out...or maybe just being alone and sticking my cock into a Mexican Papaya.

R.I.P. BK Barunt!

Honibaz!

Everybody knew that was going to happen yet the hope of Pacqiao knocking him out sold 6 figures tickets.

I would've watched it without a lot of expectation but sincerely i feel its just stupid that everybody fell for mayweather's antics and expected that fight for two months. I'm glad it's ove so i can watch sportscenter without having to skip 30 minutes of talk about mayweather beating his wife and pacqiao running for president in the philipines.

A couple of weeks more and basketball season is over. Best time of the year to watch sportscenter! Tarara tarara.

So what exactly happened? Merryflower won?

Yeah, he won on points, 116-112. Boring fight.

Yep. Boring. But boy was I drunk!

I went to my local bar, and they were charging $20 to come in and see the fight. I didn't want to see two guys I don't know hitting each other for money, so I came home and opened a bottle of wine.

@antijokeapple
Just remember that Floyd Mayweather just made $180 million dollars running around in a circle for 36 minutes

I really didn t know the result when i posted that. I posted at 3:00 am before going to sleep then at 10:30 am when i woke up i just opened the thread to see what happened. The game was at 5 am my time!

I don t understand how this shit sport can drain so much money still when the scene has been a complete shit for the last 20 years.

That s like 10 years of salary of cristiano ronaldo... Then they say that soccer players have the most overpaid job... Boxing is just ridiculous.

What I think a lot of people don't realize (and you may or may not be included in this, I don't know your sports background) is that boxing, at the level FM and MP are at, is fundamentally not a spectator sport. Its both exceptionally technical and a sport where perfect play (which these guys are pretty close to) involves not ever being hit; both these things mean that for your average joe its gonna be pretty dull.

It is much less of the wild swinging bar brawl that most of us would probably find entertaining, and much more like Olympic fencing.

Thanks, Loot! That was an awesome explanation!

It might have been if it was true. But given that MP has boxed on the front foot throughout his career, it patently isn't. A better analogy is to think of Mayweather as the Chelsea FC of the boxing world.

Gennady Golovkin is by some distance the best p4p fighter in the world right now, primarily because he hits with the force of thirteen megasharks. You won't see him running around a ring avoiding and jabbing for 12 rounds. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=gennady%20golovkin%20&qs=n&form=QBVR&pq=gennady%20golovkin%20&sc=0-0&sp=-1&sk=

Well, while you're right, it doesn't have to be that way. For the judges its about punches landed, or connected, not surr whats the right terminology. And that's why mayweather is successful because he's got a good defense and he's fast enough to land punches and retreats and retreats so the opponent falls in his strategy. But his punches are not super hard punches, you just need to see his face to see who did more damage.

Pacquiao surprised me because he had a good strategy and probably owes that to freddy roach but let me down because he didnt have the stamina to take his strategy further. All this is given thqt everybody knew how the fight was going to be.


(I dont really now much about boxing but you learn a lot by hearing comments of previous figthers like Chavez, morales, barrera, marquez in the fights transmission)

All this makes mayweather the champion but he doesnt get the respect of the people inside the sport. He gets the respect for being profesional and training and having a good strategy of course, but he's not a brave or complete boxer.

you mean you can learn from Hugo Chaves, Evo Morales, the fencing gold medalist in beijing Stefano Barrera and through Gabriel Garcia Marquez's litterature?

PS: you didn't say anything about my analogy with cristiano ronaldo's 10 years worth of real madrid salary (knowing he will definitely not last 10 years). Sin't that just mental?

I think that top boxers are the top paid sports guys on the planet, followed by golfers and 2-3 F1 drivers. What do they have in common? They play an individualist sport.

Either way
