Floyd Mayweather promised to provide “excitement” in the match with Manny Pacquiao.
Floyd Mayweather is getting paid an estimated $180 million or more to participate in the fight of our generation. He promised an exciting fight. But instead it became the most boring and painful fight I have ever paid to watch.
Mayweather did not provide the “excitement” he promised so I want my money back.
I came to watch a fight not have the world champion run, duck, hide and clinch for 12 rounds to win. When Pacquiao did come close, Floyd would either run spinout or clinch usually with his arm around Manny’s neck until they got broken up.
Boxing must change the clinching rules or this sport will fade. If I want to watch clinching I would watch wrestling. There should be a warning then a point taken off each time an opponent clinches to disable an attack. The most exciting part is when a fighter comes in for the kill. There should also be consideration in points for the constant aggressor. If there is no aggressor there is no fight.
Clearly, Mayweather defeated Manny Pacquiao in points. But, I wanted to see a fight and until then I want my money back.
