Not paying to watch it though. I liked boxing back in the day with Duran, Hagler, Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard and others. it is however a brutal event. Everyone seems to think Money will knock him out early.


Peace

then still win the fight. He didn't even get knocked down! It was just decided that he needed to lose, which I agree with.

Any ref would end any fight under those circumstances. He was out on his feet, totally dominated.

If anything, Mayweather let the fight go on longer than he needed to for fan service. He could have ended it in the 8th or 9th as well.

To stop a UFC fight. I think he said to just let him knock him down.

Consequently they are limited and will be exposed.

Rousey was the biggest joke of all time, when they tried to pretend she was some type of world beater.

Mayweather had to be a decade beyond his prime for last night to be as mildly competitive as it was.

BTW, Trump fans love the MMA and think it's the greatest thing they have ever seen. That's one correlation I've noted for years. I guess the simplistic angry males can relate to it.

It was those simplistic angry males who drove the price down on Mayweather by placing 18 times as many wagers on McGregor as Mayweather. But the big money wise guys were all over Floyd.
