Oh dear. A mega-fight event that wasn’t conducted 100% on the up-and-up. I’m shocked. I feel gutted.

Whatever possessed them to announce the shoulder injury after the fight? Aren't there some kind of rules where fighters have to get a physical before a fight and attest they are physically fit to fight?
It's pretty sad that people can get so rich and be so dumb.

Number one, Manny didnt check the box, It was just an inadvertent mistake. We werent trying to hide anything. I just dont think I read the questionnaire correctly.WOW. That is the kind of excuse those other politically motivated scumbags would use. You know, the scum bag that would say "what difference at this point does it make?"

I split the fight with 6 others. It was a boring fight, as were the undercards. Do I feel cheated because Pacquiou wasn’t 100%, nope. For something priced comparatively how many “NFL Sunday Ticket” subscribers sue because their football team sucks?

File under “Fools and their money”.
It was just a party. If it were free, it may worth my time to watch some of it.
They were gamed. Vulnerable since there has been few non-cage, major boxing matches. Ali and Tyson are tough acts to follow.
Remember when Ali retired, a boxer named Larry Holmes ascended and dominated. However the media did not like Holmes. So he is forgotten.
The sport is about promotion first, athletic skill second, fans third.

This is why people have lost interest in boxing.
