#1 Posted: 5/6/2012 12:43:22 AM Not a huge boxing fan but I don't understand why anyone would pay 60 dollars to watch a main event where the underdog has absolutely no chance of winning.
Am I wrong?

#5 Posted: 5/6/2012 12:46:47 AM first ppv fight ive bought in over 10 yrs, and i am a huge fight fan
"no chance" statement means you do not watch boxing
cotto had a chance all night to win
i got to see 3 shoe in hall of famers in cotto, mosley, money may and got to see canelo a rising up and comer
you are so wrong you have no idea
it was the best fight ANYONE HAS EVER GIVEN mayweather
i am a genius for selecting this fight as my first PPV purchase in 10+ yrs

#9 Posted: 5/6/2012 12:51:02 AM if you cant afford 60 bucks in the comfort of your own living room, where you can actually hear the announcers and not listen to a bunch of drunk dumbasses around you,
then you need to get a good job and be able to afford the finer things in life
i make 140K a year in medical industry sales
i am worth it
get a real job, then you can get a real life, then you can live the high life girl

you wana be so big financially that you dont need a loan from me?
1) stop wagering 2) get an advanced degree in something medical related (bio, chem, etc) 3) get into any type of medical sales, (medical device, equipment, pharma)
within 5-7 years you will be clearing 140K plus
but #1, stop wagering, because it becomes too addictive and even though you might win, you'll dedicate too much time to it and you'll lose your focus on what is really important, which is to get a great job making great money and great benefits
it's all about CASH FUKKING FLOW

You don't understand the tacticts involved, the adjustments made by both fighters, the brilliance of BOTH fighters compared to other fighter and even their own past performances. YOU DON"T KNOW BOXING. Both fighters took punishment and both perservered and made adjustments. The fight was beautifull to watch. I had Mayweather up 8-4 in rounds.
To say Cotto never had a chance is absurd. Gloves are on, but it's still a fight - anyone can get rocked at any time. Mayweather-Mosley is proof. silakh on Friday Night Fights was winning every round and then got rocked and stopped. You've obviously never boxed competitively. |

#16 Posted: 5/6/2012 1:13:30 AM It was actually a pretty good fight. I thought Cotto had him a few times but Mayweather just showed his skill again.
The shots of Ms. Jackson were my favorite part though. |
