Oh dear. A mega-fight event that wasn’t conducted 100% on the up-and-up. I’m shocked. I feel gutted.
Dopes got duped and now they’re suing?
lolol
It’s funny that a transgression against consumers occurred? don’t see the humor.
Yeah, can you believe the nerve of some people?
Dopes go to Vegas all the time to give their money away. And whether it’s Pro-Wrestling or professional boxing, the notion that it’s fixed, rigged, pre-planned, staged and/or crooked is understood.
Some clown pays $100 to watch some dog and pony show on pay per view hardly bothers me.
I boxed and wasn’t that good. But it was always on the up and up. I didn’t box professionally. Wasn’t nearly good enough.
And the last time I would have paid NEAR 100 bucks was to see Lennox fight Klitschko in a rematch. Never happened.
Two fighters over 35, not so much.
I’m 46 now, and even though I felt my punches on the bag were harder at 38 than 22, that’s because I believe muscle may get more dense, but ALL the other skills are far lessened. I’m done babbling lol for now

The humor is that there are still some people that watch boxing and are not aware the fix is in............
If he lied on his medical forms, he is potentially in trouble with the Nevada Athletic Commission. But I don't see the fans having a claim against him.
I don’t think the Lewis Klitchko fight was a fix. I don’t think any of Lewis’ or the two Klitchko brothers’ fights were fixed. Hand picked happens a lot more than fixed.
I agree. But what a weasel. And the guy who filed out the form is a weasel too.
A mega-fight event without the mega-fight
It's pretty sad that people can get so rich and be so dumb.
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?"
Fight of the Century, huh? More like Fraud of the Century.
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.
